Cruise Weddings

Taking inspirations from Bollywood movies like Honeymoon Travels and Dil Dhadakne Do, hosting extravagant celebrations on a cruise ship has become a major fantasy lately. Chancing upon this latest fad that was once a Western concept, but is quickly grabbing the limelight on the Indian Ocean, these super cool idea of having a wedding on a cruise will help you make your planning process oh-so-easy!

Famous cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Star Cruise and Cruise Bay cover Kochi, Goa, Chennai, Mumbai and Lakshadweep. You can get in touch with a wedding planner to check out which destination is convenient for you and your guests and whether or not this extravagant celebration fits your budget. 

Personalized Wedding Invites

Attractive invites are the focal point of your wedding. If your guests are mesmerized at first glance, chances are they will definitely block their dates to attend your big day. For a cruise wedding, don’t forget to mention RSVPs.

Wedding Entryway

Set a high benchmark right at the entrance, so your guests are prepared for all the fun and excitement that awaits for them on shore.

Wedding Cake

Keep your wedding theme constant throughout every element. Think nautical!

Wedding Décor

Forest Weddings

In Twilight, when Edward and Bella said “I Do” in a forest setting, our hearts almost skipped a beat.  That stunning forest ceremonial site filled with hanging flowers and then the magical wedding reception. WOW! Still can’t get over it!

Snapping out of that scene, why not make it a reality?!

Think, Corbett National Park or Kanha National Park – perfect destinations!

Cave Weddings

Were you mesmerized looking at Deepika and Ranbir romance around a cave in Italy on the song “Khuda Jaane”?  Then, how about celebrating your wedding indoors in an unusual outdoor setting? Sounds confusing and contradictory?! Well, what can we say – it’s meant to be weird, at the same time super exciting!

Old Indian Civilization has blessed us with many manmade and natural caves that you can find and host an unusual wedding at. For instance, Cheerapunji, Kurnool and Pachmari could be great considerations.

Camp Weddings

The summer camp site in Kuch Kuch Hota is as close as it can get to this unusual outdoor wedding venue idea. All we can think of with camp weddings is the adventurous trip you will have while getting hitched at such as location. Think – dance or ceremonial tents (as seen in Harry Potter – remember the wedding scene of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour), bonfire and the enumerable games you can host at your pre-wedding festivities. A cool way to to break the ice and build and bond with a new family.

You can host one such amazing camp wedding at Kumbalgarh Safari Camp.

Bonfire

Around which you can just relax strumming the guitar and singing some songs, or having a great game of antakshari. C’mon, who doesn’t love antakshari! 😉

Hilltop Weddings

If the hilltop views of Shimla in the movie Jab We Met got you arrested and day dreaming of the beauty that India encapsulates, then a hilltop wedding idea is just for you!

Right from Jammu and Kashmir to Tamil Nadu, India has over 20 mountain ranges, therefore finding a hilltop to celebrate your big day won’t be that big a task. What might be daunting though is finalizing one.
