Baskets of fresh flowers that leave a trail of sun-kissed yellow in and out of the venue. Soft lights cascading through vines set against a backdrop of opulent red. A picturesque stage that unites the entire space, allowing you to experience love in its purest, most resplendent form. There truly isn't anything that comes close to the beauty of an Indian wedding.
Navigating the intricate details, such as the choreography of these elements, however, presents challenges and delights in equal measure. As you gear up to dance through this minefield of emotions, we offer you a backstage pass to the most common issues that might arise, and guide you on how to maintain your composure and peace through it all.
