One trend that is going to be very popular with brides and grooms is using the menu to express themselves.

Destination Weddings

There continues to be many takers for destination weddings. Gone are the days when weddings were held in neighborhood marriage halls. Palaces in Rajasthan, known for its splendid palaces, Goa for its pristine beaches and Kerala’s serene back waters will continue to be India’s favorite wedding destinations in 2013.

Going Green

Green weddings are becoming more popular among couples as environmental awareness grows. One of the easiest way to begin is to use recycled papers for your invitations. Many cultures in India use banana leaves to serve food and clay pots to serve drinks thus reducing our carbon foot print. Decorations can make a wedding space look great, but more often than not the décor ends up in a landfill after the wedding. Look for decorations that can be recycled, reused or composted. Flowers make wonderful decorations and can be disposed of in an eco friendly way.

Whilst a popular in the west it is a new concept in India. More and more couples are choosing save the dates for the practicality it offers and the fun you can have with it. In India where we  don’t believe in sending invitations more than a month in advance it is especially a great idea to send save the date while you work on the main invite and all the details of how to integrate it into your over all wedding décor.
