We don’t doubt that anyone would ever treat their big day casually but it does make perfect sense to start the planning process in earnest as soon as you have fixed on a date. Trust us when we say this - counting the days down to the wedding seems to pick up a crazy pace all on its own and before you realize the all-important date of big vows is around the corner.

At Parinoy, we feel the confusion that picking your dream trousseau or selecting the perfect destination can bring on in our modern rushed times.

In this blog, Parinoy gives a breakdown of some basic aspects that every couple should keep in mind as they begin the countdown to their nuptial day -
- Invitation Card – The date is set and now you want to announce it to your loved ones and invite them to be a part of the celebration. Modern weddings are a beautiful blend of traditional elements and personal style and the process starts the right invitation card. The right wedding planner will help you set up consultations with wedding invitation designers and handhold you to curate the concept that best suits you. While invitations are going digital in our times, a physical invite lends warmth and personal touch, as it is tinged with emotion requesting your guests to be a part of your celebrations. It is a beautiful way of involving your guests in the wedding well ahead of the big day.
- Venue Selection and Décor – Your moment of coming together was written in the stars but remember the wedding is taking place on earth and requires much preparation. The right venue and décor go the extra mile in ensuring the wedding is a celebration of all things wonderful. Again, the wedding décor in India is a reflection of traditional and religious elements build together with modern and avant-garde With a professional wedding planner, you can watch your dream wedding décor take shape and make your wedding day more special. The venue booking needs to be done well in advance and décor finalized through subsequent meetings with your event planner.
- Wedding F & B Arrangements – We can’t ever imagine a wedding without food, can we? Globally, one important factor that can successfully pull off any wedding is great food for the guests. As you step into this very special chapter of your life, make it memorable for everyone sharing the day with you with the right F & B. A professional wedding planner will assist you to get in touch with the right chef whose team can make the wedding menu truly eclectic. Even regular banquet food can be presented creatively to make things magical.
- Wedding Photography – Photographs are magical images that take us back in time and make an occasion come alive once again. They are precious as keepsakes that will be passed down to the next generation. We advise you to select the wedding photographer with due care and attention. Go through the portfolio, ask questions, discuss your concerns before you finalize and fix the wedding photographer. Book well in advance as the best ones get busy months ahead with pre-nuptial shoots, bachelor/ bachelorette parties and other events.
- Wedding Videography – An extension of the earlier point that has added so much pizazz to modern weddings. To wed is a celebration in itself and to capture the wedding of your dreams as it was solemnized is sealing the memory for keeps. Wedding videography is something that we recommend wholeheartedly. Make sure to include it in your final checklist. Book ahead as the best ones get snapped up months ahead of the wedding season.
