A wedding feast is often the focal point of the discussion at a wedding. Apart from the couple themselves, the next favourite point of discussion is- the food. Hence, a caterer has to be definite in the wedding planning checklist. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right caterer for the big day.
\n\nPersonal Interest
\nThe caterer should not just have the ability to cook good food, but also take a personal interest in understanding the bride and groom's families and the type of guests. A clear understanding of the theme and the budget limitations should be set so that the menu planning can be done accordingly.
Flexible Menu
\nMost of the families today want to serve a wide array of various cuisines. Therefore, a caterer who sticks to one type of cuisine only might not be the right choice. The menu must be flexible so that the bride and groom's side can mix and match from a variety of options to delight their guests.
Sample Tasting
\nThe catering company should have the option for decision-makers to attend a sample tasting where they can sample the food to be prepared for your big day. A sample tasting could take place at an event they are already catering to after taking permission from the hosts.
Capability to Cater to Large Crowds
\nWeddings are crowded events. Families and friends attend the event at any cost as it is an important milestone for the family. The caterer should have prior experience of handling large crowds and at times unexpected numbers too. This way even if the food looks like it might run out, they should be able to arrange for alternatives without further delay.
The wedding feast is the most part of an Indian Wedding. Therefore, choosing the right caterer is one of the most important tasks so that guests leave on a happy note and with a satisfied tummy!

Whoever said never judge a book by its cover, meant it only for books and not weddings! Let us tell you, the décor of a wedding is everything. Wedding decoration is the most noticeable attraction that sets the mood of the auspicious day. Whatever the theme, it accentuates the chosen venue with class and elegance, making it suitable for the occasion. Take the example of every celebrity wedding story you have followed and you’ll know what we are talking about. If anything, each wedding in the last decade was a showcase of beauty, grace, elegance and love - all reflecting the beautiful celeb couple’s glowing moments.

The Pastel Themed Fairy Tale Wedding
\nHands down, this décor idea has to be one of the most romantic out of the lot. Thanks to the Virat-Anushka wedding, this theme has been trending like anything. The destination wedding was held in Italy with a picturesque backdrop, but it was the décor that stole our hearts. Unlike the usual wedding colours, they chose subtle and elegant colours like lavender, powder blue and delicate pink as the base colours.
The mandap was a deconstructed four-post shell that had a floral canopy and select textiles wrapped on the four posts. Adding to the fairytale-like wedding was the use of glass lanterns and white candles that hung from the ceiling. They also used a line of fairy lights above the mandap invoking the right amount of magic! This created the most romantic backdrop for the couple. The entire setting was inspired by an overgrown garden representing abundance, prosperity and growth - the secret to any successful marriage!
\n\nSignboards
\nWho thought signboards were only for the roads? The highlight of the celebrity Shahid- Mira wedding were the cute, catchy, romantic signboards that had arrows pointing in directions of all that’s important. First, the couples name, date of wedding, arrows pointing where to place your shoes, where the vows will take place and a double-edged arrow stating ‘Love is everywhere!’. Make this board quirky by hand painting it in vibrant colours. Place them at spots that help usher the guests in!
Floral Curtains
\nThis is one décor that doesn’t die at all! Whether it was Neha Dhupia’s mehendi ceremony or Shahid-Mira’s wedding, a nice floral carpet as a backdrop hanging from the ceiling is a show stopper.
PomPom umbrellas
\nYou read that right. Imagine crisp white and wide umbrellas with colourful super-sized pom poms attached inside? Not only does it immediately uplift interiors but is a perfect prop for photo shoots too! Ask Mohit Marwah - Antara Motiwala! Their majestic pre-wedding photoshoots feature Mohit holding onto an opaque umbrella with a burst of colour underneath posing next to his lady love.
Framed Chandeliers
\nWe cannot get over this look! Celeb Saina Nehwal & Kashyap’s wedding reception décor had large white square frames with classy chandeliers inside hanging from the ceiling on stage. They chose a purple/deep lavender curtain as a backdrop making the entire look so divine! The plush white seating added to the grandeur look and gave us major elegant wedding décor goals.
Celebrities have always gone all out when they celebrate a wedding in the family. It is no surprise to see that they have inspired several wedding trends in the wedding industry. Get inspired and create your own very dreamy wedding decor!

These days, the new couple prefer to mingle among their well-wishers and make the most memories of their special day. From selfie corners to fairy lights, the onward movement of reception venues has gone through a huge change. You can turn your reception party into a memorable event by adapting some of the newer trends mentioned below:
\n
Photo Booth
\nReplace your wedding stage decoration with a beautifully decorated photo booth. You can add a lot of props that your guests can pick from to add some more flavour to the photographs.
\n
Comfy Seating Area
\nRather than setting up uncomfortable seats, you can set up a comfy sofa area in the corner. This can be decorated with fresh flowers and twinkling lights for added attraction.
\n
Outside Backdrop
\nIf you are planning on having your reception outdoors, you can use the trees and the flowers in the area to add charm and beauty to your reception. You can wrap fairy lights around the trees, or tie ribbons to branches and so on to add some colour to the event.
\n
Tent House Décor
\nIf you are planning a reception at the beach, a tent house décor will work perfectly. You can either go for a casual style or make it as formal as you like.
\n
\nAt the end of the day, it is up to you to decide how you want to decorate your reception venue. After all, there are plenty of ideas to choose from!
