Indian Weddings

When I first sat down to write this blog update, my original idea was to write about Asian weddings, but while I was doing my research quickly discovered that the Asian wedding market is huge - too big, in fact, for one little blog update. Why is that? There are really no such things as 'Asian Weddings', because Asia is after all, a continent (well, with a few islands thrown in!) with several different cultures and traditions - not to mention several more cultures and traditions within each particular Asian country as well.

Maybe a few flowers strung up around a marquee and along the backs of deckchairs, a tiki or two hanging from a pole and some pretty, colored lanterns hanging from the surrounding palm trees. It's easy to think of a relaxing, laid-back atmosphere with everyone sipping Mai Tais in a beautiful, exotic location. Well, STOP RIGHT THERE. Beach weddings may evoke all those thoughts but in reality they need a lot of planning. If you have a local beach (or even lake) you know very well, you'll be one step ahead. Just make sure you know about local regulations, such as if you need permits and if that particular location is used by other community groups on a regular basis.
