Seasonal wedding ideas: match your wedding to the weather

The season decides your décor, your menu, your outfits and your timings. After ten years of weddings in Udaipur, I tell couples one thing first. Plan with the season, not against it. Here is what works in each one.

Winter, November to February

This is peak season in Rajasthan. Days are mild and evenings are cool. Hotel rates rise, and many hotels ask for a minimum room commitment or a full buyout on peak dates. Book early. Ideas that work: an evening pheras under a courtyard sky, fire pits and warm lighting, a hot chai and kulhad counter, velvet and brocade outfits, marigold and deep red florals, a live painted portrait at the Sangeet.

Spring, February to March

The days are warm and the light is soft. Fresh flowers are easy to source. This season suits garden and lawn weddings. Ideas that work: a pastel palette, a haldi in the morning on a lawn, floral jhoolas, light lehengas, cold pressed juice and sherbet bars.
Summer, April to June
rates are lower, so this season suits couples who want a palace on a smaller budget. Ideas that work: pheras after sunset, indoor haldi in a cool hall, a lakeside cocktail at dusk, light cotton and chiffon, a cold dessert counter, chilled welcome drinks and misting fans for guests.

Monsoon, July to September

The lakes fill and the hills turn green. Rain is likely, so the plan needs a firm indoor option. Many couples avoid these months, which means more choice of venues and dates. Ideas that work: a covered courtyard, a rain themed Sangeet, fresh jasmine and greenery, umbrellas as guest favours, hot pakoras and chai after the ceremony.

Autumn, October

The air clears and festival lights are still up in many cities. October is a good month for couples who want mild weather with fewer crowds than December. Ideas that work: a golden and amber palette, diya lighting, a lakeside dinner, a rooftop mehendi.

Choose the season first. Then choose the venue. A good venue in the wrong season is still the wrong choice.

How to choose your season

Ask four questions. When will your guests travel? What can your budget carry? Which functions must be outdoors? Do you have a wet weather plan? Your answers point to a month. A planner then checks the venue calendar and the vendor calendar for that month. Read our guide to destination weddings in Rajasthan or the Udaipur wedding guide.
