Receiving
blessings and wishes from dear and near ones after wedding is one of
the most important moments of wedding. The importance is, as you watch
the wedding video or wedding photos, the beauty of the stage remains an
attractive factor.<br /></div>
<div>
If the stage is badly decorated,
your photos and videos, which you keep for years to come, become placid
and unattractive. With great decoration, your photos and videos are a
treat to see time and again.<br /></div>
<div>
Forget photos and videos,
people coming to wish you good luck will see you in beautiful settings -
colourful, and as in full bloom. Well, the decoration remains that way
only for a day. However, that happens in an important day of your life.<br /></div>
<div>
Flowers,
silk drapes, and decorating materials add to the charm. And, it is all
about feeling special on the very special day of yours. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Among many other things, Indian weddings are
also a celebration of gold jewelry. Fully covering the bride with gold
ornaments was a practice specially designed to show off the wealth. Not any
more. Less is more.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can go classy with two-three chains, a few
bangles on each hand, a tiny pair of ear-rings and one ring on your finger.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, for the bride, her wedding day is the
best day to wear as much gold as possible – often with several necklaces, hair
ornaments, waist band, and bangles up to the elbow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is big show of luxury. Keeping a few
points in your mind can help you make good choices while purchasing gold.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Big necklaces:- Usually are very thin and can
easily lose shape. While the big necklaces appear brilliant on photos, its
safekeeping is a difficult affair. Make arrangements with the jeweller to
exchange the jewelry after the wedding event. And ask for a good deal so that
you can exchange big necklace for same weight of jewelry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bangles:- Look for bangles that don't lose
shape. Pick strong, heavy and solid ones instead of thin, lightweight and
showy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Buy gold at least one month before the wedding
day. And keep it safe in a bank locker. Don't forget to take home at least one
working day before the wedding. After wedding, take it to the bank locker as
early as possible. In other words, stay safe.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do you hate it when your guests wait for food?
I'm with you. I too don't like waiting for food. With this simple system, your
guests can get the food – when they want it, and without the waiting.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keep in mind, this doesn't work for sadya
served on banana (plantain) leaf. Here is the plan . . . <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Plan Buffet Serving<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In addition to normal serving at tables, you
can also have a buffet table, from where guests can quickly collect their
favorite food items and enjoy the food, while relaxing outside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There will be a big rush of guests –
immediately after the wedding ceremony or when a big batch of guests arrive as
a single unit. Bring in that buffet system for such a rush.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can serve food normally in the regular
hall, where the tables are set. When the seating capacity is over, you can
direct them to a buffet table.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your guests can pick a plate, fill their plates
with their favorite items and enjoy the meal without waiting for the whole
batch of guests finishing their food. Just make sure there are enough chairs
outside, where the guests can comfortably enjoy the meal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This works when food is served on a plate (and
not on plantain leaves) and when there are only a few items - main dish and
two-three side dishes to serve.<o:p></o:p></div>

Brides, grooms and their families put great
effort into picking the right kind of wedding cards. In fact, most of the
people think wedding cards do a lot more than just announcing the special
occasion. <br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What are the choices available?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Money is one big factor determining the type of
card you choose. <br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A card with or without an envelop can start as
low as Rs. 3.50/-. You can add a little more class and elegance at Rs. 10/- per
card. If you want it to be more colorful, you can spend Rs. 20/- to Rs. 30/-
per card.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In case you want the card to be of many layers,
elaborate art work, and exquisite colors expect to pay Rs. 100/- to Rs. 300/-
per card. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some wedding planners also order two kinds of
cards. To send the invitation to hundreds of people, they order cards of Rs.
10/- or less in large numbers. They will also order a few (probably less than
30) cards to archive along with the wedding album.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was also news of a young man buying bulk
of ordinary post cards, writing the invitation in his own handwriting and
sending it out to all his friends. It may take a lot of time, but it is the
most personalized wedding invitation card you can ever expect.<o:p></o:p></div>

Weddings in Kerala has gone some
dramatic changes in the recent past. There are the traditional weddings and
there are the new-gen weddings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the past it wedding celebrations
were just a routine. Now, the youngsters want a blast.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, young people have better
control over the festivities than those people who got married <span style="font-family: 'WenQuanYi Micro Hei';">–</span> maybe 10 years
ago.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
Now, people are not afraid of
singing, dancing and partying late into the night. In the past, people would go
to the wedding for a feast or a tea party <span style="font-family: 'WenQuanYi Micro Hei';">–</span> and that is all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And, there are changes in dresses
too. If women wore only settu sarees in the past, girls today wear gowns and
salwar kameez for their wedding.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In short, youngsters want their
weddings to be a blast <span style="font-family: 'WenQuanYi Micro Hei';">–</span> a celebration of colors and fantasy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the past, the friends, neighbors
and relatives take over the whole affair <span style="font-family: 'WenQuanYi Micro Hei';">–</span> of everything from setting up a temporary stage, arranging the
food, serving it, and every tension associated with hosting a wedding.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, there are well-appointed
wedding locations, auditoriums and wedding halls, where the bride and groom can
welcome the guests. And, of course there are catering parties to serve delicious
food.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Depending on the financial
conditions, the wedding can spend anywhere from Rs. 1 Lakh to upwards of 50
lakhs and much more. A single invitation letter can cost anywhere from Rs. 2 to
Rs. 250. The wedding saree can cost as low as Rs. 3,000 or as high as
Rs.90,000.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gone are the days wedding albums
were photos pasted on thick paper. Now, the digital albums are in vogue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Depending on where you are, how
much you have to spend and what kind of splash you want for your wedding, there
are choices <span style="font-family: 'WenQuanYi Micro Hei';">–</span> as diverse as
Kerala itself.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
