If soggy weather, mud stains and dampened spirits are the only thoughts that come to your mind when planning a monsoon wedding then think again. A rainy day creates the perfect opportunity to move away from the traditional and sometimes predictable wedding celebrations and do something different and enjoyable. Make your monsoon wedding unique and fun with a few simple and practical ideas.
Choose a venue which has a combination of indoor and outdoor space. That way you can enjoy the best of both worlds. If that is not possible then cover the open space with either clear tents or marquees.
Incorporate the monsoon theme into your wedding starting with your stationery and invitations.
If you are planning a pre wedding cocktail party or sangeet make it a rain dance or a pool party. It will be fun and your guests won’t get enough of it.
Brighten up the venue with bright rainbow colors. Bold printed or a variety of solid color umbrellas look very dramatic, spontaneous and pretty. Create the illusion of rain with long strings of crystal bead garlands dangling from the ceiling scattered throughout the hall. Use raindrop-shaped rhinestones or crystals to scatter on the tables around the centerpieces. Use a lot of flowers since they stay fresh for hours in the rain.
Add little fairy lights in a myriad of colors to add a touch of softness with a lot of lanterns to give your venue a beautiful dewy feel.
Consider going the extra step and adding wooden flooring should your budgets allow.
Add a splash to your dessert table by adding a beautiful cake topper or incorporating happy rainbow colors.
For wedding favors , will all the love “raining down” on your celebration, perhaps the best favor of all would be a plantable favor so your guests can be reminded of your special day every time it rains, making wonderful things grow! You can also give out umbrella’s or parasol’s based on your color scheme or personally monogrammed.
There’s a certain charm to taking pictures in the rain. It’s not only fun and enjoyable but also dreamy and romantic. You can get as creative as you want – suit up or rather boot up this monsoon and capture those amazing candid moments which you will remember for a lifetime!

hassles and most pundits are free this time of the year too!
