Guide for a perfect monsoon wedding

 Do you dream of having a monsoon wedding – but are scared of rain playing spoilsport? Just prepare a back-up plan in advance to welcome the showers, says an expert.

Here are some tips- what to do and what not to do- on a monsoon wedding from an expert at wedding planning. Follow them to have a perfect wedding during the monsoon. 

* Plan a rain dance party as part of your pre-wedding event.

* Seating becomes difficult to arrange in the rain, bean bag seating setup is perfect especially among youngsters. 

* Beautification should be done using neons, flowery drapes and ribbon décor. They will suit the ambience. 

* When it is monsoon, don’t shy away from having a monsoon-based theme in your stationery. Starting from your invitation cards to the giveaways, monsoon is the key to design. 

* Rains create a need for you to wear fresh coloured lehengas. Peach, subtle gold, rose pink, tomato red are the colours of the season. 

* How good is an umbrella as a giveaway to your guests? Bangles, sunshades have become common giveaways. 

* Your gueAsts would need to wrap up their phones and belongings while in the rain, so arrange for plastic or rather personalised waterproof bags. 

* Rain proofing is an absolute necessity if you are not planning your wedding in a banquet. But a banquet should definitely be the first choice. 

* Your make-up should not be based on a heavy foundation. It won’t just keep up.

* Decorations based on warm colours are a big no-no!

* Don’t have flower-based decorations, prefer parachute material gazebo, floral prints in the drape and artificial flowers.

* Heels don’t go well with rains. Juttis/floral mojaris are what’s in vogue.

* For your mehendi, don’t go for heavy real flower jewellery, instead prefer tiaras, or gotta jewellery.
