BLOCK YOUR DREAM VENUE IN ADVANCE
During wedding season, venues and destinations are likely to experience an overflow of bookings given the sheer surge in demand for the best locations. In order to not miss out, make sure to book the venue of your dreams well in advance. “Booking one’s venue a year and a half in advance or at least six months before the big day has become the new norm,” Ambika points out. “Whether it is a conventional wedding hall, an outdoor setting in an exotic destination, a boutique hotel, or a magnificent heritage property, ensure that you don’t miss out on the location you have your sights set on.”

All's not grim, however. Even within this space, some brands have cut through the greenwashing noise and stand out for complete transparency in their businesses.
