Every person has their expectations and daydreams about their ideal wedding with their ‘the one’. Aanchal and Sachit had such dreams and expectations of how their big day will look like or how the functions will be prepared. These two lovebirds were destined to be with each other as their personalities blend in with each other and bring out their strengths. Their dream wedding era started with the young couple going off to Phuket with their 80 friends. They booked a yacht for the celebration event. The to-be-wedded couple had a very elegant yet loving photoshoot. The following events were prepared by Gaurav Chauhan Events.

<h4 class="has-text-align-center">MEHENDI</h4>



 Next day, it was time for another ritual, Mehendi. The detailing of every decorative item was beautiful. Especially the photoshoot area, which was a swing bench with a round wraith-shaped flowers ring. The area was beautiful, pink and white drapes were everywhere covering as a roof. The pride and groom wore designer and exquisite traditional outfits. There was ‘sheesha(hookah)’ available for the youngsters, especially our groom. The young couple had a customized cake surprise, the cake was shaped as a green pillow and flower, bangles and mehendi cone on top of it.&nbsp;

<h4 class="has-text-align-center">WEDDING</h4>



The Wedding finally started. The groom made his grandentry in a vintage horse cart decorated with beautiful flowers. The young couple walked together, or should I say danced their way, to the ‘mandap’. They danced on clouds, literally, there was mist everywhere at their feet which made it look like clouds. The whole place did not look less than a fairy tale or royal wedding. The decor was lavish and decorated with specific preferences. The bride was looking gorgeous as ever in a pink and golden Rimple and Harpreet designer lehenga. Our handsome groom wore a Rohit Bal sheherwani. Something amazing also happened, other than our couple getting married! Guru Randhawa came to their wedding as a singer! Which was quite exciting, everyone was filled with energy and danced through the events. Even our couple were dancing and enjoying the time of their lives. The event went on perfectly as planned and vidaai was done in an elite vintage open car decorated with colourful/bright flowers. Everything was flawless and our lovely couple was chirping happily in love. Their dreams came true that day. Our couple finally tied up a knot with each other and decided to spend their lives together.&nbsp;

A lavish Wedding between two best friends at The Riviera Ambience, Gurgaon

A wedding is considered the purest relation between a man and his woman. Our young couple, Arveena and Gunpreet also swore to make this relation a pure one. The young couple held a few rituals before getting married. They both believe in their traditional culture with all their hearts. They hired one of the best photographers to capture all their lovely moments in every traditional ritual.&nbsp;



<h3 class="has-text-align-center">ARVEENA AND GURPREET</h3>

<h4 class="has-text-align-center"> Engagement Ceremony</h4>



Their wedding functions started with Engagement. The engagement was held in a mutually decided venue. The bride was looking stunning in her happy colour, yellow. She wore a yellow traditional outfit while the groom wore a black indo-western outfit. Their candids are captured beautifully, representing how pure their feelings for each other are. The venue looked beautiful, especially their stage.

<h4 class="has-text-align-center"> Mehendi Ceremony</h4>



After their entanglement, after a few days, her mehndi was held at her home. The bride's mehendi was stunning. There is a traditional saying "The colour of a bride's mehendi reflects her husband's love and affection for her, the brighter the colour, deeper he loves her." Every individual believes in it. That day, after keeping it on for hours the henna started coming off on its own. The colour was dark brown, reflecting their love is stronger than anyone they know. Her natural smile in these clicks represent how happy she is with the colour of her mehndi.&nbsp;

<h4 class="has-text-align-center">Choora Ceremony</h4>



Next day, there was another event which took place, Choora. In Punjabi culture, Choora is a very important function before wedding. Arveena's Choora was beautiful red with embroidery and designs, it complemented her beautiful personality. Our bride was wearing a beautiful white traditional suit with heavy jewellery while our groom wore black outfit.

A Regal yet Elegant Sikh Wedding in Chandigarh

Tying the knot at a far off locus ? Though, having a destination wedding is perfectly romantic but planning it requires more than just booking the venue. <a style="color:purple;" href="http://venuemonk.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">VenueMonk</a> brings you the do's and don'ts for your special day! Have a look:

DO'S..

1. Choose an easy to get to location! 

<img class="" src="http://www.marrymeweddings.in/wpblog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Anantara-Song-CRUISE-Bangkok-Riverside.jpg" width="500" height="404" />

Select a location that is easy to get to. It takes more than just the amazing backdrop to make the wedding successful. Too many stopovers might disappoint your guests.

2. Hire a wedding planner. 

<img class="" src="http://www.aspirationalbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Wedding-Planner-1-of-3.jpg" width="500" height="357" />

Since you are planning the wedding from far away, you must hire a wedding planner to avoid the last minute mess. This will help you personalize your wedding according to your tastes. Go for a planner who has planned a wedding at the same destination before as yours.

3. Send the invites early. 

<img class="alignnone wp-image-9389" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/wedding-venues-in-noida.jpg" alt="Wedding venues in noida" width="544" height="844" />

Mail the official invites at least a month before the wedding so that the guests can book their travel on time. This will head off any chaos to the guests later.

4. Negotiate for discounts. 

<img class="" src="https://images.oyster.com/articles/10617-dont-break-commitment.jpg" width="501" height="330" />

In order to host your destination wedding at a resort or hotel, identify the number of rooms you need for the guests and negotiate for group discounts while booking.

5. Get your wedding budget ready beforehand. 

<img class="" src="http://d2eanzqpmoo3ec.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/wedding-budget-tracker-book-confetti.jpg" width="502" height="340" />

Before you actually start working on the idea of your destination wedding, prepare your wedding budget. This will help you organise things better according to your needs and will actually save gobs of money!

<a href="http://www.venuemonk.com/delhi/venues/search/wedding"><img class="alignnone wp-image-1555 size-large" src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/wedding-delhi.png?w=748" alt="Wedding Delhi Deal" width="748" height="68" /></a>

DON'TS..

1. Leave the guests to figure out their journey all on their own. 

<img class="" src="http://www.tatnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Indian-Wedding_01-500x300.jpg" width="502" height="301" />

You are inviting your guests to a place that they might not be familiar with, help them know how to move around. Provide the pick-up and drop-off facility to the guests from nearby properties.

2.  Neglect the backup location. 

<img class="" src="http://www.roundhill.com/d/roundhill/media/Romance/Destination_Weddings/__thumbs_1280_763_crop/Photo_1_RH_8446682.jpg?1424835066" width="501" height="299" />

It's obvious to get swept away by the beauty of the place, but do not forget to keep a check on the backup indoor option in case of any uncertain weather conditions.

<a href="http://www.venuemonk.com/gurgaon/venues/search/wedding"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1556" src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/wedding-gurgaon.png?w=748" alt="Wedding Gurgaon Deal" width="748" height="68" /></a>

3. Mess with the climate. 

<img class="" src="https://www.papertostone.com/q-article/content/images/2015/05/Shimla.jpg" width="500" height="269" />

If you are planning the wedding at an outdoor location, do consider the weather conditions before you book the venue. Check for the climatic conditions during that month of the year.

4. Pop for your guests' airfare. 

<img class="" src="http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/10085/hubfs/budgettips.jpg?t=1467909546131&amp;width=592&amp;height=452" width="501" height="383" />

As far as the destination weddings are concerned, couples are not expected to pay for the guests' travel. However, you can alleviate some of the cost if you have guests that can not afford the trip expenses but are important to you.

5. Invite all and sundry. 

<img class="" src="http://weddingsutra.com/images/wedding-images/real_wed/featured/vidhi_abhinav_feature_pic14.jpg" width="501" height="323" />

Though it is possible to have a large destination wedding, most of the couples prefer to keep the occasion a bit intimate. 40-50 guests is an ideal number for a destination wedding!

Follow these few tips and have a magical destination wedding. Make the best out of your day. Good Luck!

This is the first and the most essential step because it is on Diwali that one gets tempted to so many things and gets an excuse to buy all of those. So, don’t get carried away and allocate a certain amount of money for drinks, food, decor and other essentials and stick to it no matter what.

 	<li>Prepare the guest list</li>
</ol>
<a href="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/guest-list.png"><img class="alignnone wp-image-407" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/guest-list.png" alt="guest list" width="400" height="267" /></a>

The guest list can be tricky when you are trying to put together complete strangers from different walks of your life on one table. Make a list at the beginning of the party-planning process, so that you neither miss out on anyone nor go overboard with the number of people coming for your party.
<ol start="3">
 	<li>Decide a theme</li>
</ol>
<a href="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/theme-part.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-410" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/theme-part.jpg?w=768" alt="theme part" width="400" height="266" /></a>

Be it festive, Bollywood or superhero, your party needs a theme. So, use your imagination and come up with an interesting theme for your Diwali party.

<ol start="4">
 	<li>Decide the Menu</li>
</ol>
 <a href="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/food-and-drink.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-406" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/food-and-drink.jpg" alt="food-and-drink" width="400" height="266" /></a>

Food is undoubtedly the most important aspect of any party. Choose your drinks depending on the kind of crowd you invite. While you can keep some beverages common like juices, soft drinks and wine, for others, you can opt for cocktails or mocktails. If people say good things about the food you served long after your party is over, it means that the do was a success. So pay extra attention to it!
<ol start="5">
 	<li>Music</li>
</ol>
<a href="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/party-girls.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-411" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/party-girls.jpg?w=768" alt="party-girls" width="400" height="225" /></a>

When spirits are high, music surely is in demand. So, groovy music with old remixes and the popular songs of today are a must so that your guests enjoy the party to the fullest.
<ol start="6">
 	<li>Games</li>
</ol>
<a href="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/card-games.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-412" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/card-games.jpg?w=768" alt="card games" width="400" height="245" /></a>

Think of games, which involve all your invitees at the party, like 'Truth or dare', 'Would you rather' and drinking games like Have you ever? etc. If you have lots of kids in the party, fancy dress competition is a splendid idea. And, also don’t forget the gifts for the winner!

Food and drinks are key to the success of any party, and deciding on a menu is the toughest aspect of planning a party. No worries in that department because we have you covered, have a look-
<h3>Drinks For A Game Of Thrones Theme Cocktail Party:</h3>

Presenting the drinks with a ‘Westrosi’ touch will win hearts all around the room and make the party a wonderful memory. Here are a couple of exhibits on how to present the drinks-

<h3>Game Of Thrones Theme Cocktail Party Decoration:</h3>
Decorating for a GOT themed party involves using retro lights and using artificial fur. Fur coats and rugs go a long way in setting a medieval ambiance. For something more complicated, here are a few examples:

We at VenueMonk love animals and would request you to not use actual fur for your party!
<h3>Food:</h3>
The food for the party need not be fancy but it has to be presented with a medieval flair to stay true to the ambiance you are planning to set in the party. Pigs in a blanket and little snacks on sticks are perfect for the theme of the party. Here are a few examples:

3 Steps to Plan an Ultimate Game Of Thrones Theme Cocktail Party

Cocktail parties have been on the rise to popularity lately, people have been organising these for their wedding celebrations, business events, birthday celebrations, and almost every type of party is elevated into a Cocktail Party.  However, planning one can sometimes be a challenge. One has to go through a myriad of factors thoroughly to be able to throw a cocktail party that is enjoyable for the guests. If you are planning to rent out a venue to throw a cocktail party for your guests, here are some important things you need to take care of to become a perfect host-
1. Stock up the right type of alcohol
<img class=" wp-image-9026 aligncenter" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/cocktail-party-1.jpg" alt="Cocktail party 1" width="424" height="692" /> 
To keep the cocktail party alive, the right type of alcohol must be stocked up before the party starts. This is where the nature of your event comes to help, if your party is a formal one, it is advised to store classic alcohol like whiskey, wine, and champagne, whereas if you are organising an informal cocktail party, you can opt for other alcohol like beer, vodka, tequila, and more.
2. Keep a variety of glasses ready
<img class=" wp-image-9027 aligncenter" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/cocktail-party-2.jpg" alt="Cocktail party 2" width="420" height="610" />
When you opt for more than one type of alcohol for your cocktail party, it is suggested that different types of glasses must be kept to serve each in.  As an instance, for serving Martini and Cosmopolitan, cocktail glasses are used, for serving whiskey, tumblers or highball glasses are used. A variety of glasses based on the number and types of drinks you’re serving at your cocktail party should be stocked up.
3. Serve light snacks
 <img class=" wp-image-9029 aligncenter" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/cocktail-party-4.jpg" alt="Cocktail party 4" width="439" height="659" />
Instead of offering the guests with heavy main course food, it is suggested that light snacks should be served alongside the drinks. Snacks complement drinks at a cocktail party and guests can munch on while sipping the cocktails. Fried snacks with various dressings to top on it and some savoury baked snacks followed by a variety of light mouth-watering desserts are all you need to put up in your menu.
4. Keep extra ice handy
<img class=" wp-image-9030 aligncenter" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/f19e6b2149da78ba3512acf59ca5832f.jpg" alt="f19e6b2149da78ba3512acf59ca5832f" width="460" height="460" />
The 2-3 hour event can be a huge disappointment if the drinks aren’t chilled throughout the event. Whether it’s the first cocktail of the event or one at served at the last, it is important that each and every drink of the event is chilled and there’s enough ice in the store to keep it going until the end of the celebration.
5. Hire a bartender 
<img class=" size-full wp-image-9028 aligncenter" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/cocktail-party-3.jpg" alt="Cocktail party 3" width="564" height="376" />
A cocktail party is incomplete without a bartender and a designated space for his bar. Unless you want to keep mixing and serving the drinks during the event, instead of going out there and enjoying with your guests, it is suggested that you hire a bartender within your budget for the job.
With the right planning and management, throwing a successful cocktail party without exhausting yourself if possible and the event can be entertaining for the guests as well as the host. We, at <a style="color:purple;" href="http://venuemonk.com/?utm_source=VMBlog&amp;utm_medium=CocktailPartyPlanning" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">VenueMonk</a> - Delhi-NCR's leading event planning portal, go the extra mile during planning your event to keep everything in order at reasonable rates.

Throwing a Cocktail Party? Here’s how you can be the perfect host!

Imagine a breathtakingly-beautiful backdrop of a volcanic eruption with a trail of smoke rising up the turquoise sky while you say your vows. This couple took a risk of having their wedding ceremony in front of one of the most active volcanoes- Mount Mayon, in Philippines, and their photographs are giving us major wedding photography goals!
<img class=" size-full wp-image-9035 alignnone" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/screen-shot-2018-01-28-at-10-51-46.png" alt="Screen-Shot-2018-01-28-at-10.51.46" width="950" height="526" />
Arlo Gerald De La Cruz and Maria Hussa Maica Nicerio upped the wedding photography game by choosing a uniquely mesmerizing background for their wedding ceremony.  The volcano Mount Mayon had been predicted to erupt over the upcoming three months and natives had been shifted to temporary shelters and while the people have evacuated the danger zone, this couple found just the right spot outside the danger zone to tie the knot. Their wedding photographs are extraordinarily ethereal and appear like a piece of art that they will cherish for the rest of their lives. The one of a kind wedding was captured by Nebraja's Sons, the official photographers and videographers of the ceremony.
Here are some of the perfectly framed pictures from their wedding:

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9034" src="https://venuemonk.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/nintchdbpict000380675616.jpg" alt="nintchdbpict000380675616" width="960" height="720" />

The perfectly timed photographs with the volcano erupting in the background as the couple embrace their love for each other on their wedding day are all over the internet and are being praised for all the right reasons. While the couple had been stressed out about the eruption, little did they realise that their wedding setting will be blessed by the spectacular backdrop of nature, giving their married life a beautiful start.
