Wedding Planner V/S Venue Coordinator

Time and again every wedding planner must have faced this question from bride, groom and professionals – are the responsibilities of a wedding planner and a venue coordinator same?? Is there any difference between a wedding planner and a venue coordinator? Well, if you ask us our answer would be – No, a wedding planner and a venue coordinator is not same. A simple way to explain would be the difference between your School Teacher and a Tutor you consult right before your exams. Can you relate now!! We are sure a bit. Don’t worry; today we are here to tell you the difference between the responsibilities of a venue coordinator and a wedding planner. When you go for property visit, the venue in charge suggests you seek help of a Venue coordinator which many brides and grooms mistaken as a wedding planner.


Responsibilities of a Venue Coordinator –

A venue coordinator is basically the face of the Venue. They are there for the venue which is what they work for and represent. They will take of everything related to the Venue just at the time of functions or just the day of wedding to be specific. Be it the supply of tables, chairs, linens, hospitality for the guests, food (its quality, and timely service). Basically they will make sure all the commitments are met by the Venue that are stated in the contract. They make sure services provided by hotels are executed flawlessly. However, what they do not look after is minute by minute timeline of the wedding. Looking after the decoration does not fall under their jurisdiction. They will not look after needs of the bride and the groom at the time of wedding. And you can even expect them to leave once the food is served as their staff can look after the rest. And thus, the responsibilities of a Venue Coordinator end here.


Responsibilities of a Wedding Planner –

A wedding planner is the face behind the entire ideation, planning and execution of every minute details related to the wedding. They represent the bride and the groom. They are in contact with you since day 1 of the planning phase and are there until the next day of the wedding. A wedding planner coordinates with Venue coordinator to make sure promises are met. And they also coordinate with the rest of the vendors related to the wedding (tent, florists, artists, photographers, Sound, and light to name a few) and see the deadlines are met well before time without compromising on the output. The Biggest advantage of hiring a Destination Wedding Planner in India is they have good network with vendors and hence they can get you the best at competitive rates. They make a minute by minute wedding timeline to make sure timely commencement and end of functions. They also leave no stone unturned to put your guests at ease by handling hospitality and logistics as well. In short a wedding planner is your “to go to” person throughout the wedding.

Now you know a wedding planner is the right fir for your wedding!!

Wedding is the most exhilarating phase of one’s life. You just found your Mr. Right and all set to spend next 40 years of your life with him. Can life get any better!!! But of course before commencing this beautiful chapter of your life, you have to plan the BIG DAY. Get things sorted and decide on the venue, guest list, catering, decoration, and photographer and of course the never ending shopping list. And you decide to pull it off all by yourself, of course under guidance of your parents and discussion with your life partner. Planning a wedding requires to handle tons of things at the same time. And we are here to make it easier by telling you the challenges you might face.


1. Guest Comes First – well it is your wedding, you should undoubtedly the priority. However, you will end up thinking about your guests first. If the venue is easily accessible and getting to the venue does not charge them a bomb. You will think about their convenience at almost every stage, coz they are taking out time from their busy schedule to be a part of your fresh beginning.



2. Financials – of course your parents would be paying for your wedding. They are going to spend their hard earned money and savings to make your wedding memorable. But it is also a fact they would make arrangements their way and might not give a space for your suggestions and advice.


3. Fights – you are going to stress out, you will have differences in ideas and thought process with your partner. And you are going to end up fighting not once but many a times. You constantly will have to calm up yourself and your partner as well.

4. Your Favorite Vendor Is Booked Already – you must understand that photographers, hair and makeup artists, bands and other vendors get pre-booked, sometimes a year in advance, especially when you are getting married in peak wedding season i.e. between October – March. Don’t freak out if your first favorite vendor is booked. This industry is full of new talent and you can look for second or third choice as well.


5. Opinions – well you might discuss your concerns with a lot of people. And you will get different opinion from everyone which might make the situation even worse. Everyone will give their expert advice as they think they are best and in the end overload you with information. Don’t forget that it is your big day and not theirs. So do what you feel is right.

6. Budget – well you must have obviously thought of making your wedding special by adding unique elements. However, you might not have money to include everything. In this case make sure you prioritize the elements and allocate budget to each. There are also hidden costs involved which you will come to know when the planning process actually starts.


Pheww…!!! And that’s the reason it is advised to consult Destination Wedding Planner for your wedding. They will make your life a little less stressful.

Bridal Make-up Trends

Well Indian Wedding season is here finally!! Months of planning and preparations come to an end at last. We hope that all the pretty brides – to – be have been following the fitness regime religiously. It is very important for the bride to look and feel fresh and at her best during the wedding. And why not!! After all she is the center of attraction of her wedding and all eyes are on her. People would want to see how radiant she looks, what make-up she wears and what trends she has followed for the BIG DAY.


Since wedding season has started already, Destination Wedding Planner in India have some really cool make – up trends for the brides. Be it eyebrows or eyelashes or eye makeup or hair or even the face makeup, they have suggestions that will rock the look this wedding season. 

Eyes – The perfect statement eyebrows will now make way for more natural ones

So far you must have observed brides in proper painted dense eyebrows which undoubtedly require a brow kit as it helps in making them look bigger and bolder. However, this wedding season is all about natural looking eyebrows that are unrefined and innate.

Nay to natural eyelashes and Yay to doll like lashes

Until now the trend was going for real looking falsies or making the real lashes look denser, but the trend this season would be fake eyelashes with a heavy liner. Combination of natural looking eyebrows and doll like lashes will certainly top the chart.


Face Makeup

You must have observed brides with heavy makeup making blatant contours and highlighting the overall face structure. Well the trend is fading away and this wedding season will give way to natural makeup, with neutral blush and maybe a tinge of highlighter. Natural looking face makeup will be paired up with bright and bold eye makeup.


Lips - Bye Bye matte lips and Hello glossy lips

Matte lips have been around for a really long time now, especially for the brides. However, the fad is definitely changing this wedding season. Glossy lips would be seen all over again.


Dark vampy shades will give way to berry shades

Lips of brides painted with blood red, and deep hues of maroon and brown will not be seen, well not anymore. This wedding season you will see berry tones like raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant to name a few. These would be dark but will belong to an entirely different family.


Hair - Wavy hair will make for tighter curls

It is time to get your old friend – curling iron, out again as this wedding season wavy hair will be replaced by curls. Well we are not talking about perm tight curls, but tighter than wavy will be back again.


Messy hair – drab and neater buns – fab

Well this is the last trend we could speculate for the wedding season. Messy hairdo will give way to neater and structured buns that will certainly look more elegant.


Hope you are all set for the new trends.

Wedding Color & Style

Colors play a very important part in any auspicious occasion in India. And Indian Weddings are incomplete without colors, especially today when weddings have become lavish and grand. Being the Bride or the Groom, you must have briefly thought about the colors you would like to choose for your wedding, colors that define your personality and also the chemistry between the couple. Maybe you two settle with two common colors that you wish to use throughout the wedding or decide to have different colors for different functions. Or maybe you are too confused to deal with the hues. That’s the reason Destination Wedding Planner in India looks for the best combination of colors for you. However, they have a few suggestions when it comes to choosing colors and styles for your BIG DAY.

1. Too Many Colors – weddings are colorful especially the vibrant Indian Weddings and we tend use as many colors as possible, which looks messy. The idea is to choose two to four colors which could be used throughout the wedding. How about choosing one main color and using other colors that complement the main color. Also narrowing down the color palette will also help keeping other elements like center pieces, floral décor and linens from looking messy. 

2. Invitation – giving and implementing the colors of weddings in your invitation is a fantastic idea. Invitations set the stage of your wedding so design them in a way that evokes the color palette of your wedding from the start. It is advised to strictly avoid light fonts. Using dark, bold fonts will make the invites more appealing and readable. 

3. Do Not Always Color Match The Flowers – don’t force the flowers to color match the overall color palette. Instead of asking your florist to use flowers, bouquets or centerpieces to match the color scheme, ask them to choose neutral flowers that can complement any color scheme. The trick is to use bright colored flowers if you use neutral or light colors in the wedding or if you use bright and dark shades it is suggested to use neutral colored flowers. 

4. The Trend or Fad – it is easier to get carried with the wedding themes and colors and decorations you come across in magazines or on web. The colors look good for that particular setting. However, you cannot be sure if the colors are going to look good in the venue you choose. The color palette you choose must be the one you won’t mind living rest of your lives with, as you are going to frame the memories from your wedding on the walls. Hot, trendy colors might look good for the time, but may actually seem to be boring in real. Think of your favorite room or even sweater color for that matter, even the shades and patterns you usually surround yourself with can give you a lot of inspiration. We have witnessed some of the magnificent weddings inspired by tints and patterns of scarves or even pillow.

We would like to hear your inspiration for wedding color and styles.

Life Of A Wedding Planner

While wedding is the biggest life changing event in one’s life, it is undeniably stressful. And the level of stress increases if you have to deal with everything on your own. And that’s the reason Destination Wedding Planers in India have been in demand as they treat your event like theirs and reduce your stress levels in leaps and bounds. In a short span of time, they become your to go to person and they analyze almost everything about you – your expectations, your likes and dislikes and accordingly plan the wedding. While they make everything seem to appear as a piece of cake, there’s a lot going on in their life. They have enough in their platter and they undoubtedly have to be on their toes every minute especially during the wedding day. 


While everything seems like a fairy tale to you and your guests in terms of decorations, arrangements, and timeline, it is sheer because of the many sleepless nights that your wedding planner spent to make your day special and memorable. They keep themselves updated about the lasts trends in the wedding industry. They constantly search for new and fresh talent and also maintain relations with vendors. They will listen to your doubts, confusions patiently and will calm your soul when you get anxious. We believe they have this incredible talent to handle the worst and deliver the best and surpass all the expectations. 


So today my friends we will have a sneak- peak into the life of a wedding planner especially on the day of wedding. Well most of the preparations like – explaining the work to all the vendors (tent, flower, sound, light, photographer, and artists to name a few), is done well in advance. The different teams are assigned their work – Hospitality, Logistics, Productions, and Creatives. However, there’s a lot going on the BIG DAY as well. A wedding planner cannot afford to rely on the teams; they constantly supervise them and ask for updates, because if anything goes wrong it is the wedding planner who will be held responsible. In order to make sure everything runs smooth they prefer to be at the venue all the time. As soon as the tent vendor steps in, the work of wedding planner starts. To push them to complete the work well before time, and see if things are placed as discussed. They assign two members from team to be with the bride and the groom to take care of their needs. Once the florist arrives, wedding planner makes sure the flowers are fresh and not less than the required quantity. They coordinate with the venue coordinator to see if the arrangements from the hotel are strictly as per the contract. Their major worry is the timeline. For a successful event, it is integral to strictly follow the minute by minute timeline for smooth and timely flow of events. They make sure all your guests reach the railway station and airport well in time and leave with memories they will cherish for years to come.

Families, relatives and friends come together and have fun by teasing the bride, singing the traditional songs and dancing to the beats of Dhol. And the atmosphere is casual and full of good vibes. Generally the theme for the function is traditional Rajasthani or Rajasthani carnival. Bright colors like yellow, orange, pink and green are used in décor. Refreshing yellow and orange marigolds make the ambience come alive.

While your Destination Wedding Planner in India will look after the decoration arrangements, however, there are few simple and inexpensive decorative elements that you could use in your homes to make your Mehendi glamorous.

2.    Twined Bottles – for a rustic theme, these could make up for beautiful center pieces or decorative elements. Twirl jute strings across the bottle and put flowers in it. Isn’t it gorgeous!!

3.    Hanging Photos – how about instant pictures with near and dear ones and making a place for either sticking or hanging them. A creative way to make some fun memories.

4.    Time For Some Wedding Advice – you are entering this new phase of life and of course all the experienced ones will have something to say or an advice to give. You can make a corner where people can set new wedding goals or give some advice based on their personal know-how.
