1. Venue Selection – Sabse Bada Kharcha Yahin Hota Hai

Pro Tip:

Indian weddings mein log quantity par focus karte hain, quality bhool jate hain. Budget wedding ke liye ye sabse common mistake hai.
Smart Catering Planning:

- Limited menu ka matlab better taste aur better presentation
Guest List Control:
- Sirf close family aur friends invite karein
- Ideal guest count: 100–150 log
👉 Yaad rakhiye: Log quantity nahi, taste yaad rakhte hain.

Aaj ke time mein shaadi ka matlab sirf ceremony nahi, photos aur memories bhi hoti hain.
DIY Wedding Decoration Ideas:
- Gende ke phool (Marigold) ka use karein
- Colorful dupattas aur fairy lights se simple decor plan karein
- Ye decor sasta bhi hota hai aur Instagram-worthy bhi
Photography Budget Hack:
- Mehenge cinematic photographers ki jagah
- Koi creative freelancer photographer hire karein jiska portfolio strong ho
- Aaj kal phone photography bhi kaafi advanced ho chuki hai
5. Makeup & Mehndi – Fashion Mitra Favourite

Bridal Makeup Tips:
