Month: March 2018

An Indian wedding is all about the colours and the noise. Western weddings are all white, peaceful, sweet yes, but there is nothing as lively as an Indian wedding. Even an Indian Christian wedding has many hues of pastels if not the brightest of shades.

A bride’s wedding lehenga probably has more colours than what she wears all month. It is very important to get the colours right as well as knowledge of the lehenga shops in Delhi is a must, whether you choose to wear a lehenga, or a ghaghra, or a saree with unique blouse designs. The wedding outfit must have the colours of a wedding and reflect the personality of the bride.The wedding lehenga of the bride must not be minimalistic but at the same time must not be embellished too much. Wedding lehenga must be elegant to make the bride stand out of the crowd in their reception halls.

1. Red, Pink, and Orange

When you want to go all fired up, with everything bright, go for all red, orange, and pink. Here you choose fuchsia or something like that. You don’t go for a lighter shade of pink. This is a typical eastern colour combination, keep it that way. With bright colours, you will look gorgeous. This wedding saree or lehenga colour combination is best for the bride who does not want to wear too much jewellery and wants to keep her outfit light, without too many embellishments and unique blouse designs. That is not to say you cannot wear a lot of jewellery and have embellishments with this colour combination. But if you do go minimalistic, it has to be with something as bright as this.

 

2. Green and Blue

Now, that is a broad category. You might ask, what kind of green and what kind of blue? Just take whatever your eyes like. This colour combination is for the bride who does not want to go all red and pink just because it is a wedding. This colour combination is also perfect for the bride’s sister or best friend, of course only if the bride is wearing a totally different colour combination. Basically, this colour combination is for the women who want to stand out from the crowd at a wedding. Remember, go for any dark shade of green and blue. Keep one of the shades matte and the other, brighter.

3. Pink and Blue

This combination has been around for a while. It isn’t the unique colour combination, but it is classic nonetheless. How to keep this combination from being too clichéd is, don’t go for the typical style of the saree being of one of these colours and the blouse being of the other colour, or the lehenga being one colour and the choli and dupatta being of the other colour. Look for a good blending lehenga colours for wedding dress. The colours should blend into each other and not stay segregated in the different pieces of the outfit. A word of advice, there will be a lot of pinks and reds at the wedding. If you want to stand out with this colour combination, go for an outfit that has more of the blue. Make sure the blue is a dark royal shade and the pink is the lighter shade. If there is hardly 20 percent of the pink, it can be a bright shade too.

 

4. Pink and Yellow

This colour combination brightens up the place immediately. Yellow is the happy colour and pink is the bright one. All you can see when you see this colour is, bright happy smiles. This does need a fair amount of bling though. Not that the other colour combinations don’t, it is a wedding dress after all. But this one will do well with either golden or purple or blue embroidery.

5. Aquamarine and Peach

Coming to some of the pastel shades, this is the classiest combination of them all. This is the sober version of pink and blue. So, if you want a wedding in pastel hues but don’t know which colours to go for, this is your go to lehenga colour combination. You need to keep in mind that you don’t want 1:1 proportion for the two colours. If you want to brighten it up a little, you can go for a lining of red or pink. But if you are keeping it to just these two colours, make sure one is clearly dominant, does not matter which.

 

6. Olive Green and Grey

Talking about sober, this is creating a statement. If you are daring enough, go for an olive green saree or lehenga, with some grey bits without any bling at all. Lace or translucent material works for this colour. If you don’t want to go too monochromatic, go for a bottle green blouse. This colour combination is best for no bling, no embroidery, light, comfortable sarees.

7. White and Golden

White and golden is a classic Indian wedding colour combination. It is totally common in South Indian weddings. But in North India, it is a little uncommon to be wearing white at a wedding. You could have heavy golden embroidery on the white lehenga or saree. Or you could have white stones on a golden outfit. This colour combination is pure serenity.

 

8. White and Silver

 

If you want to look like the Indian version of a Disney fairy, white and silver is the combination for you. It is a little difficult to pull off compared to white and golden because white and silver could look like just white from afar. This is why the trick is to go for a silver dress with white embellishments. This combination is perfect for both, very light skinned and very dark skinned people. Don’t pay heed to “dark people shouldn’t wear white” rubbish. White and silver is the one best combination for dusky beauties.

9. Turquoise and Royal Blue

Coming to all blue colours, you can never go wrong with turquoise. It is a colour too pretty to keep off a list. Now, if you don’t want your saree or lehenga to be all turquoise, go for a royal blue or navy blue blouse or choli. Keep it to just these two shades. Both the colours are bright and beautiful.

 

10. Turquoise and Peach

If you want something blue, but want to keep it in the pastels, go for this combination. This will be the best colour combination in terms of prettiness. You can choose which colour to keep dominant. Personally, more turquoise will look perfect for the wedding and is the most opted one by the best Indian designers.

12. Maroon and Royal Blue

Of all lehenga colours in fashion, maroon will never go out of style. It is undoubtedly the commonest colour at a wedding. As if not enough women are wearing maroon, even the couches are maroon velvet ones. So is the carpet. But teamed with royal blue, maroon will look like something totally different. You will be turning heads with the perfect blend of traditional and quirky with this combination.

12. Beige, Red, and Royal Blue

 

This combination is the perfect blend of sober and bright. If you want to go mostly pastel with a hint of typical wedding colours, go for a beige lehenga with a royal blue blouse/choli. Keep the red for the prints or embroidery on the lehenga. Same with a saree, go for a beige saree with some silver and red embellishments, and a royal blue statement blouse. Go for a full sleeved blouse if you want more of the royal blue. If you want more of the red, don’t simply reverse the colours. You will need to choose something that looks tasteful to the eyes. Go for a red lehenga or saree with the beige combination in the body. Keep the blouse blue.

These were some combinations based on our favourite colours for a wedding. A wedding lehenga should be bright but unique, beautiful and classy. These combinations are it. If you have already made up your mind about a combination that is not on the list, let us know. Also, make sure you have enough time to choose your favourite saree or lehenga colour combination and get the right accessories like shoes, and jewellery to go with it. Start now!

You need to decide what kind of hairstyle you want. Whether you want a braid, or a bun, or a side braid, or whether you want to leave it loose. If you want to leave it loose, you need to decide whether you want to straighten it or wear it in soft curls. There are so many decisions to take. But first of all, you need to choose one of the many types of bridal hair accessories because everything else depends on it.

There are plenty hair accessories for bride. You can go for a traditional Indian one or a traditional Western one. You can go for something in between. You can mix and match different types of hair accessories. You just need to think it through and try the style on before your wedding day, to make sure it works.

1. Tiara

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of types of hair accessories, is a tiara. Whether you want to sport one or not is a different question altogether. But it is the one statement hair accessory for any bride. Some Indian wedding traditions and cultures have no scope for a tiara because there is a traditional bridal headgear to wear. For example, the mukut in a Bengali wedding.

But brides who have no mandate to wear anything like that, should get to wear something to adorn their heads. What’s better than a delicate tiara? If you are the queen that you deserve to be in life, or the princess that you deserve to feel like on your wedding day, you will flaunt your tiara with oozing confidence.

2. Hair comb

For those who think a tiara is way too over the top but a headgear of some kind is a must, fret not. There are dozens of other options and a hair comb is the best one of them. You can go for a white or silver one with a branched out design.

 

 

You can go for a single coloured red, or blue one matching or complementing your attire. Or you can go for a multicoloured one with some precious stones in it. You can wear it over your bun if you want it to just peep through your veil. Or you can wear it towards your forehead on either side.

3. Jewel topped hairpins

A wedding has scope for a lot of bridal hair accessories in the form of hairpins because you need a lot of hairpins to hold that elaborate hairstyle together. Go for small floral topped hairpins to put in your braid. If you want to flaunt all you got, go for diamond topped hairpins. A very good option for wedding hairpins is crystals. You can go for red, orange, yellow, purple, or blue crystals. Match it with the colour of your unique bridal blouse or with the second most evident colour of your lehenga. Your hair will dazzle with a sparkle fitting for the bride.

 

Make sure you don’t overdo it though. There is a thin line gap between gorgeous and gaudy. If you want your entire braid or bun or the front of your head to be covered in bejewelled hairpins, go for smaller stones. If you want to go for a big elaborate design, go for a single colour at a single spot of your head. Over the bun, or on the sides of your head, or around the braid, whatever you choose. If you are putting jewelled hairpins in your braid, mix and match the designs. Don’t let it be all symmetrical. White is the best colour for hairpin studs because it stands out in the dark Indian hair colour.

4. Studded hairclips

If you are not using too many hairpins, go for jewel studded hairclips. You can use them anywhere on your head but the best option is to put two or more of them adjacently on one side of your hair. Never put hairclips symmetrically on either sides. It looks juvenile. You can clip your veil to your bun with studded hairclips.

 

In this case, let the clip be of the colour of your veil. You can mix and match hairclips with hairpins. The hairpins go in your hair, that is, in the bun or the braid. The hairclips adorn the head. Maintain a tasteful amount of bling on your head though. Do not cover your entire head with jewelled hairpins and hairclips.

5. Flowers

Putting actual flowers in your hair is the most traditional form of hair accessories for bride. It is an old convention but will never go out of style. Use fresh flowers to adorn your hair with. Don’t stick to just roses. Go for smaller flowers in larger numbers Like, a jasmine garland around your bun. Or a marigold thread along the braid. You can go for lilies too.

 

The most convenient and smart solution would be to use orchids. They don’t wither too easily. You don’t have to get them fresh from the market just while you are getting ready. You can make a corsage out of two or three different colours of orchids to match your wedding attire. A purple and peach orchid corsage with a violet, mauve, or pink wedding attire will look amazing. Peach and white combination goes best with any pastel shade of wedding attire. If you are not sure of what colour to use, always go for the classic white, it is the best.

6. Accessorised veil

Talking about convenience, it is really convenient to wear a dazzling studded veil instead of trying to manage both, a veil and an elaborate headgear or flower arrangement. The veil can disrupt the position of the hair comb, it can ruin the flowers, or cover the studded hairpins too much. A veil that itself has some studded work apart from the regular embroidery, is the solution to all these problems.

 

But don’t forget to use jewelled hairpins and hairclips anyway. Because if you remove the veil for some reason, your head shouldn’t look all regular daily hair. It has to look like wedding hairstyle under the wedding veil.

7. Maang Teeka

A maang teeka is the bridal hair accessories winner in the East. It is our answer to the Western tiara. A maang teeka not only adorns the head of the bride, but also adds glamour to her face. A secret tip to make the maang teeka complement your face and wedding makeup is to match it with the colour of your eyeshadow or eyeliner. If you are wearing a pink wedding attire but have blue eyeliner, go for a maang teeka with a statement blue stud.

8. Matha patti

If a maang teeka alone isn’t enough for you, go for a matha patti. This jewellery for the bride’s hair will complete the bridal look alone. Invest in a heavy multi chained or broad chained matha patti with a statement studded centre piece for the maang teeka. Best thing is you can wear this bridal hair accessory with any hairstyle. You can have soft curls left loose, or plain straight hair with a middle partition, a high or low bun, or any kind of braid. A matha patti will make you look like a sizzling Arabian princess. You will rock every wedding photo in this bridal accessory.

9. Stringed bun chains

You can go for a stringed net for your bun or a string of chains tied at the base of your bun. Remember that hair accessories for bride do not usually support a bun. You will need black clips to hold the stylish bun together. Just string in the golden chains over the bun carefully.

10. Silk floral wreaths

Real flowers are too delicate to maintain and inconvenient to find at the last moment. Also, the colours and shapes are limited. Silk flowers, on the other hand, are convenient to find, and lighter on the head. Go for floral wreaths around your head and leave your hair loose. Put some studded pins at the back of your head. Pin the wreath up with studded pins. That’s it, your hair is done! Who says there is no shortcut to success? You just got your wedding hairstyle and accessorizing done in less than 40 minutes.

These bridal hair accessories will do justice to your wedding makeup and attire. They will enhance your overall appearance and help you find the confidence to strut about like the Queen of the day once you take a look at yourself in these amazing accessories.

Be it your summer, autumn or winter wedding, a lawn party makes for a best possible venue in all seasons. Transform the lawn into some blissful essence of your matrimony and dress up your lawn into your choice of theme or decorations. With such a large expanse in front of you, you are never short of options in your colours and ideas.
Lawn weddings or outdoor wedding party are picturesque in themselves. With a far and wide greenery, trimmed fields, refreshing and colourful blooms all around you, the pretty sight of the lawn would surely make for candid photography in your wedding albums. Several wedding venues in Bangalore, Kolkata and other such metro cities, provide some of the most opulent fields to host your party win luxury. But before setting up the arrangements, take care of few of the following issues.

1. A Proper Planning

First of all, have a look around the area. It would be better if you could get hold of a map from the venue. This would help you in setting up your party elements in a better way. With a proper map in your hand, you can decide the arrangement of seats, entertainment, catering etc.

^{Image Source}

Lawn weddings are perfect budget weddings. You get to have a lot of space as well as can organise your party in minimal décor. A party planner might help you out with all the fundamentals and help you in carrying out the ceremony with ease.

2. Prim and Trim your Lawn

Well, if the lawn is a mini-version of a jungle, it would be better if you start with the trimming and landscaping over your lawn’s layout. Though it might seem easy enough, but landscaping and beautification of an outdoor field is not everybody’s cup of tea. You need to start preparing well in advance if you want to give it an ornamental look. Check out some of the designs and plant your garden with that vision in mind.

^{Image Source}

Prior to starting the planting process, make sure that your colour scheme is complimenting your garden. So, put up your gardening skills to use and create an area that will be acknowledged by your guests in a single look. What more? You need to trim the trees, remove the overgrown or dead plants, shorten the bushes, and plant the seasonal flowers rather than the ones that will not grow at the time. Then it would be fruitless to pep up your garden with no results to see.

3. Create some Woodland Theme

Various lawn wedding venues in Bangalore are trending up with some awesome themes that blend well with the outdoor ambience. Make the bunting, centrepieces, table-runners, chairs and tables all in accord with the garden style and your guests will have a grand time in exploring all the nooks and crannies of your party decorations.

^{Image Source}

Every such theme comes teamed up with flowers. So do not strike off the orchids or wildflowers from your list.

4. Put up a Tent

A lawn party does not mean that everything has to be under the sun. Put up tents or shelters at some distinctive location in the lawn.

^{Image Source}

This will come handy if you face any weather trouble in the mid of your ceremony. Moreover, the delicate decorations need a safe haven to keep them in one piece.

5. Hire a Lawn Care Maintenance Team

This is not a task for some loner. You need to hire an expert lawn maintenance team who are well equipped with all the necessities required to maintain an entire lawn.

^{Image Source}

With your guests roaming around, kids playing in the field and maybe pets chomping bits and pieces, try to conjure up the restrictions in your lawn area so that your guests don’t disrupt the beautiful décor.

6. Level up the Field

How could a wedding be concluded without a dance floor? Thus, prepare a nice one while levelling up the field to keep it safe for the ones wearing heels. And the tables and chairs that you are going to set, requires an even ground so that they don’t topple over while someone is sitting on them. Consult the venue manager and make sure that in time of rains, the water does not gather up in the field. This would make for an awful party experience for your guests.

7. Remove the Pests and Weeds

These nasty elements can spoil the enjoyment of the party if it came into view. Just dig out the thistles that are harmful to bare feet, if someone decides to go barefoot. Since kids or toddlers are careless enough regarding such precautions, make sure that you build up these precautions on their behalf because the last thing we need is pest-bitten guests.

8. Light the Venue up

Nothing looks better in a garden than the dripping fairy lights that displays a calm, pleasant and dreamy atmosphere within the venue. So wrap around the lights from the branches, or put up some Chinese lanterns hanging. Just think how exquisite you venue would look in such a backdrop.

9. Have a backup Generator

Electrical fittings should be thoroughly checked before you proceed with any of event planning. Since this is not an indoor event, the lightings, fountains etc. all would require an additional supply of electricity. Therefore, make sure that your venue is fully backed up with all the electricity support.

10. Bring out the field Entertaining Ideas

Lawn parties are the best parties when it is the matter of various entertaining ideas you want for your guests to enjoy. With creative photo booths, bouncy castles, tattoo makers, there are lot many things that you can install while hosting a lawn party.

Keep all these important stuff in mind before you start planning a lawn wedding. Lawn weddings are best when you are running under a budget. Lawn weddings make way for a splendid backdrop with minimal decorations. Undergo the above-mentioned essentials and have a gala lawn wedding party.

And with so many facets of an Indian wedding like catering, baraat, bar etc., you need to have a clear perspective about what all a venue should include as per your ceremony requirements.

Starting from space or accommodation, a modern venue should also include dressing room, lot of restrooms, valet parking, in-house catering, photographers and videographers and even the facility for a night stay. But, ultimately the choice lies with the couple whether they want to make their wedding an extravagant affair by organising the party at plaza or want to have a modest ceremony at their backyard.

Whether yours being a small and intimate ceremony or a grand one, farmhouses can mould every ceremony beautifully within its abode. This is more of a rustic wedding ceremony where everything denotes a country style backdrop. So, if you are looking for a woodland elegance then drop the idea of customization as it would cost more. Choose a farmhouse nearby and take your outsourced vendors well in advance to set up all the arrangements perfectly.

6. Palace Fort Wedding

Moreover, with lots of space for entertainment, accommodation, dining and outdoor activities, fort weddings are a win-win situation in case you have the budget to afford. And the historical significance of that place adds the element of mystery in your party.

7. Backyard Venue

This is the best option for those who are looking to save some money on their wedding décor as well as venue booking. Backyard weddings as the name suggests is just the courtyard or garden area of your house. You can have an intimate ceremony by coming up with some elegant outdoor nuptial arrangements. Though it is not as exuberant as your lawn party, backyard reception parties are no less popular. With a rustic ambience, soothing atmosphere and minimal decorations, you can materialize a themed wedding within a little wedding. For a guest list of 50-80, backyard weddings are beneficial in every way. So, make your arrangements or hire a planner and create a wonderful ceremony within the boundary of your backyard.

8. Restaurant Wedding Venue

Well, this is a good option for a foodie bride and groom! With the issue of food out of your mind, you just need to concentrate on the décor, seating arrangement, guest list and the location. You may even choose the venue where you dated first. This would be a romantic reminder of your pre-marriage days. Since you know the food is top-notch, you might even skip the tasting session altogether to utilize your time on other aspects. Just make sure that space is in accordance with your guest list to provide a comfortable accommodation.

9. Cruise Wedding Venue

This is also a grand affair. But planning a cruise wedding would require some prerequisites. Remember not every cruise line provides this facility. So you need to make sure that your chosen cruise does. Though this is an ultimate symbol of romance, cruise weddings are expensive enough.

10. Home Weddings

Since you have traversed each and every option closely and want to stick to your home, then your private house is the leftover option. If your house is grand enough to hold such a huge crowd, then hire a party agency who can handle all your preparations with its management staff.

Ask the differently styled banquet hall or auditorium management to arrange for such a programme. Having such as event in-between the on-going session or at the beginning would pump up more enthusiasm among the guests.

2. Set up an interactive canvas

As the name suggests, it would inculcate more interaction among the members of the event. You may prepare a wall enlightened with LED from beneath and let your guests write down some message, suggestion or feedback regarding the event.

3. A Family day trip

The corporate meet and greet must not always be about the employees. Include their families in this. Plan some field trip for your employees that they can enjoy with their family. Or give out dance carnival tickets to your employees so that they can visit and enjoy the performance together. How about tickets to a cricket match to be held in your city? Nothing would be more appealing to your employees than such a token of gratitude.

4. Bingo Night

As far as the level of entertainments go, organising a Bingo session would be relaxing enough.

Organise it online or on paper and let your employees immerse in the spirit of game. It might be a little outdated but no less engrossing when once gets started.

5. Go Adventurous

Well if a traditional performance or ball game is not on your list, then how about organising some adventure activities that your employees can participate in earnest!

These would include kayaking, trekking, horse riding, Segway rides etc. And if not then organise a normal tourist trip by visiting galleries, national parks, sanctuaries etc.

6. Food competitions

These are gaining popularity day-by-day. Many corporate events feel the need to include food related competitions as the attendees eagerly participate in each and every of these contests.

You may include some foodie race competition, chocolate making session, wine or beer tasting, Mojito making, visit to ice bar and other such contests.

7. Play at Casino

How about a Vegas-themed Casino party that your guests might enjoy during intervals? Setting up a casino is not a troubling matter. You need the appropriate chips and the relative game manager who can handle the huddle with ease.

Just put some sign-boards and let your guests know where they could go for a brief period of interval. This will definitely zing up their spirits and they will stay attentive during the entire event.

8. Organise a team activity

This is an undying truth that a team activity heightens up the level of competitiveness among the members or participants when organised. Organising a quiz, debate, dart game, arm wrestling, and other such games are lively as well as exhilarating for all.

9. Have a theme party

Masquerade, black and white or ethnic- all these make for a perfect theme and enhance the interest among the party members. Ask your corporate event venue for some insights. If you feel a little daring, whip out a Halloween themed, Victorian themed, Toddler themed etc. But make it a point to consult your department before coming up with these bizarre themes.

10. A Volunteering event

May be it’s not the same old conference but an entirely new social event hosted by your company could be splendid. Help out for some water projects, animal shelters, orphaned people, homeless people etc. You can also organise fundraisers for them and advertise your theme to attract more and more interested investors.

11. Take your employees on a trip

Your employees would definitely be delighted with this particular decision. Some adventurous trip to Manali, Shimla, Rishikesh, or a relaxing trip to Goa, Kerala would be rejuvenating enough for your employees.

12. A Spa Weekend

For a day full of relaxation, organise a Spa weekend and present your employees with beauty vouchers to get a spa session at the defined time and place. A day of pampering would revive their tired body and they would be present on Monday with renewed spirits.

13. Impressive photo booths

Photo booths are always trending whatever the occasion is. Say it wedding or birthday, corporate events are not left behind when given the chance to set up a photo booth. Let your visitors click their pictures and share it on social media to promote your event.

14. Live Kitchen Counters/Food Stalls

Food is an attractive fundamental at every event. You cannot just leave behind this at any cost. And thus, an interactive food session is equally worthier. So, put together some live food stalls where your visitors can ask for their style of food made with awesome culinary skills that they were unaware of.

15. Put up a pop-up vending machine

Make it a point to give each and every visitor of yours with a parting gift to keep it as an event memoir. So while they are taking exit, the event manager present at the venue should make sure that every visitor gets their party favour on time.

Corporate events are immensely impactful experiences. These could either be informative or relaxing depending on the type of event you are organising. So, put your heads together and bring out an interesting event that is the need of the hour with any of these fascinating ideas.

Wedding photography is very different from regular function photography or even from portraits. The lighting, the crowd, the attires, colors, everything is so much different at a wedding. All the rituals must be captured. The face of the bride and the groom must be in focus or strategically out of focus to deliver some signature wedding photographs.

All this is no job for a rookie. You will need a professional camera, a professional photographer, and some expert wedding photography tips to make sure the pictures represent the grand wedding to its full glory.

Wedding Photography Necessities

Many people ask one of their friends to be their wedding photographer. But Indian wedding couple photography is not for every guy with a DSLR. The photographer needs to have some idea of how to shoot a wedding, how to take wedding photos, how to make the pictures look like they belong to a perfect big fat Indian wedding. In order to make sure the wedding photographs are perfect, you need certain prerequisites.

1. A professional camera with two sets of the lens to capture different kinds of angles and frames.
2. A separate equipment for videography so that every moment is captured both, in images, and in action.
3. A professional photographer and videographer, or at least a budding photographer from the family who has a good idea about photography, especially wedding photography.
4. A list of the crucial moments of the wedding that must be captured on camera. The photographer needs this list in order to be able to be at the right place at the right time.
5. The camera will have a flashlight attached to it but the natural and electrical lighting of the venue needs to complement the camera’s work. Without good lighting, the photographs will be all shiny and unevenly overexposed in the flash. They will need a lot of editing.

These were the prerequisites. Now let us move on to some wedding photo tips for perfect wedding photography.

Tips for Successful Wedding Photography

The prerequisite elements are indispensable. They must be arranged for well in time, days before the wedding. But you need some more expert tips to make sure that the elements find their best use.

6. A daytime wedding must be captured in natural sunlight. Whether there is an open mandap or not, make sure you take out the time to get some pictures clicked in the natural light. The smiling bride, the elated groom, their friends, the siblings, cousins, parents, everybody should get their pictures taken before the ceremonies start and they start to get all sweaty and their makeup starts wearing out.
7. The camera needs a dedicated charging point or at least 10 rounds of spare batteries. The worst mistake a photographer can make is not having enough batteries.
8. The pictures need to look candid in a perfect way. You need the cooperation of the subjects of the photograph to make them beautiful and perfect.
9. Some pictures need to be candid shots. The true candid shots will be the best photographs from the wedding. This is entirely a job for an expert photographer. This is the reason why just a person with a good camera is not enough.
10. The bride, groom, and other people in the frame should pause for the photographs. It is very tiring for the photographer to keep saying that 100 times an hour. Also, saying that makes people conscious of the camera and results in lame pictures. The trick is to always be camera ready.

These were some wedding photography tips that must be kept in mind. Now, remember the list in the prerequisites? We could help you out with that.

Important Wedding Rituals and Moments to Capture

A wedding has many crucial moments. Some of them are the rituals that are carried out in the wedding process. Some of them are the joyous and emotional moments between the bride and the groom, and their families. There are so many precious moments to capture that even the best wedding photographer will fail to remember it all. Hence, here is a list to help you out.

11. The anticipation before the entry of the groom and the bride. The running about can be captured in the videos.
    
12. Pictures of the bride getting ready are a must. These are easy because they are basically portraited shots in already good lighting.
    
13. Do not miss out the emotional moments between the bride and her mother and sisters. The makeup room is where all this happens. This is a place you need to be.
    
14. The groom entry must be captured top to bottom in the video. Make sure you do not miss this either. There must be enough stills from close range. The photographer needs to get close to the groom on his path of entry.
    
15. The bride entry is a huge deal as well. The typical Indian wedding scene of the bride walking down the stairs is a must. Her sister, cousins, and best friends walking with her need to be in the picture too. But the bride needs to be in focus.
    
16. Don’t forget to capture the face of the groom when he sees his bride for the first time, all decked up in her bridal look.
17. Also, don’t miss the subtle mischievous look the bride throws the groom’s way the first time their eyes meet on the day of the wedding.
18. The aashirvaad ceremony or its corresponding rituals must be captured. A classic mistake in this case is focusing only on the face of the bride/groom or on the elders who are blessing. Both the faces need to be in the frame. You may or may not ask them to look at the camera. The best thing is to have both the side faces in focus and symmetrically within the frame.
19. Next comes the phere. This is crucial. Keep taking photos of the bride and the groom as they walk circling the holy fire. The faces of the bride and groom should be in a close up focus in at least one picture. The bridal attire should be in full focus too. The knot and the holy fire in the same frame with one in focus and one out of focus but clearly in the frame is another essential photograph.
20. The sindoor scene is another must capture. The groom should be aware and pause for a few seconds to let the photographer capture the moment. The bride should have her face only slightly bent so that her eyes are in the picture and not just the head.
21. The bride and the groom looking at each other while the priest chants the mantras is another shot.
22. The friends of the bride and groom chatting each other up is a good moment to capture.
23. The bride having a secret sharing moment with her sister or best friend is a moment to capture candidly for real.
24. The groom stealing a glance at the bride, thinking nobody else is watching, is a very important shot. It is important enough to fake the candid if the photographer does not find the moment in real.
25. The sassiest wedding photograph would be if the bride is caught winking at the groom. This moment can be fabricated too.

11. The bride’s hand in the groom’s hand displaying her mehendi (and the groom’s if he has a bit of it too) is an essential take.
12. The close family and relatives feasting on a chicken leg is a funny wedding photo to take. Have the funny guys and gals of the group pose for these shots.
13. Take a picture of all the kids with the bride and the groom. This will be an endearing picture. This one is best taken in the open for natural light.
14. Take a picture of the bride and groom with all their friends in one frame. Make sure everybody has the patience to keep moving and posing till everybody’s faces are in focus.

11. Take snaps with the bride and groom standing in between both their parents.
    After that, remove the parents and get the siblings from both sides, continue that with the maternal and paternal aunts and uncles from either sides. Make sure no important person goes without a photograph with the bride and groom on stage.

These photographs will make the wedding album look complete and perfect. Follow these wedding photography tips and you will need no further guidance. Of course, the photographer himself or herself might need some planning of their own. It will be very good if there are two cameras apart from the video camera. If there are two photographers on the spot, nobody has to run around the entire time, making sure every moment is captured.
