How do you hire the perfect Indian wedding vendor? If you’re fumbling, start your research on multiple vendors without delay. Read reviews of the vendor’s works to identify and select the perfect one for your wedding.
But that’s not enough. You must have a complete checklist to decide the best vendor suitable for a wedding theme. How do you create a checklist? Here is how you do that.
First, Fix The Budget
To hire the perfect wedding vendor for an Indian wedding, you must define your budget and allocate costs for each vendor. Setting a realistic budget is crucial before finalizing the wedding theme and destination.
Moreover, you must check your vendor’s portfolio and previous work before selecting. Compare the quotes of different vendors to ensure you get the value for the money.
Now, Decide On The Venue
Are you deciding on the venue? Choose the one that fits your guest count and wedding theme and provides essential amenities like parking, restrooms, and power supply.
Check the accessibility and connectivity of the venue before finalizing. Also, consider the cost of travel, accommodation, venue booking, decor, catering, and other logistics. Remember to check the accommodation options for out-of-town guests.
Consider The Weather
Although unpredictable, it is essential to check weather conditions, especially if you have an open-air venue. Thus, you may choose a destination that offers pleasant weather during any wedding season if planning a destination wedding.
Carefully Choose Your Wedding Decorator
Wedding decor sets the tone for your big day, so before your wedding, your vendor checklist must leave some space for them. Reviewing the vendor’s past decoration work is crucial to ensure it aligns with your expectations. Have a look at the following factors before deciding:
The Floral Arrangements
Flowers are crucial in wedding decor, whether the mandap, centerpieces, or aisle. After you’ve finalized your wedding decorator, decide on the florist. If your decorator provides you with the floral arrangements, ensure they have fresh flowers of your desired color.
Are you into choosing seasonal flowers? Then consider the cost. If it is beyond your reach, consider their budget-friendly alternatives.
Also, ensure the flowers remain fresh during the ceremony, especially if you use floral decor for significant places, including the stage, walkways, and dining tables.
Lighting And Stage Setup
The lights you use in your wedding venue set the overall ambiance of the wedding venue. So, you must inspect the aisle and entrance lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere.
Wedding Photographer And Videographer
Preserving your wedding day is as vital as the day itself. Your wedding photos and videos will help you relive every moment.
So, before finalizing a professional photographer and videographer, thoroughly review their portfolio and ensure their previous work aligns with your aesthetic preferences. Also, confirm their team strength and turnaround time to avoid delays or time-related issues during D-Day.
Remember, Indian weddings are filled with rituals and emotions. Thus, you must choose the perfect photographer and videographer with utmost care.
Wedding Outfits And Jewellery
Now, the bride’s favorite part—choosing wedding outfits and jewelry vendors. Why is it necessary? The bride should decide and finalize her wedding dress, saree, or lehenga beforehand to ensure all the accessories match the dress.
The groom should match his outfit with the bride’s outfit. It can be a sherwani, suit, or any traditional outfit.
