Summer Wedding Dresses, Makeup, Food, Venue Etc. | Your Master Plan For Summer Wedding

The Wedding Venue

The first step for planning any wedding is by selecting a date and then choosing a wedding venue. For summer weddings, we recommend closed banquets with air-conditioning. And if your budget allows then you can even plan for a destination Summer Wedding tips at hill stations like Rishikesh, Nainital, Mussoorie, Ooty, Munnar etc.

However, if both the banquet and destination wedding options are not suitable to you or the family members. Then you can book an open lawn which is situated on the outskirts of the city, preferably in a lush green area. But a wedding lawn is an ideal choice only when your function will take place during the night time. You will also need additional cooling logistics like coolers, water fans etc to cool the atmosphere.
