Are you planning a fusion wedding? Our wedding expert shares 6 tips on organizing the wedding from the scratch!<\/p>\n

Talk to the participants of the cross-cultural wedding<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

For an event manager, you must firstly talk to the bride and groom to get a clear cut picture of the ceremony. If you are the bride or groom, communicate your idea to your family members and friends. However, note that a lot of ideas will flow in from elders, cousins and friends. From finding the right set of costumes to zeroing on the location, there is a lot of talk involved in getting the plot right for a cross-cultural wedding. So, do not let all the opinions get to you.<\/p>\n

Who are you? <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Giving your wedding a distinct identity is crucial. The fun of a fusion wedding is in the way two or more distinct cultures synchronize together. In cross-cultural wedding ceremonies, ensure that the customs are considered auspicious by both parties aren’t missed. Mix customs and fun elements while creating a lively ambience for your guests.<\/p>\n

A Week or A Single Day\u2019s Wedding?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In some communities, the whole wedding event lasts about a week. In a cross-cultural wedding<\/strong>,<\/a> the fusion part could be a hectic task considering the fact that almost fifty percent of the guests would be unfamiliar with the whole rituals and proceedings. Event managers normally find a middle way out for fusion wedding by holding a compressed pre-wedding ceremony, followed by planned reception cum post-wedding events.<\/p>\n

The Location: Holiday Destination or Somewhere Close<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The most difficult part in a cross-cultural wedding is deciding the location and venue. Most fusion weddings in India occur in urban locales, or in holiday destinations.<\/a> Farther the destination, the harder the organizing will be. Therefore, choose a rather exotic resort<\/a> locale close to you and enjoy the event with less frenzy.<\/p>\n

Invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Each fusion wedding has their own story to tell, and this thread counts a lot when you are planning it. It takes courage to deviate from the norm, and that is what your invitations should spell out. You can creatively design a royalty-inspired invitation card, studded with golden thread and write priceless words of honour, inviting each guest and well-wisher.<\/p>\n

The D-day Arrangement<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A cross-cultural wedding serves two purposes. Firstly, they club two separate wedding rituals into one, thus saving time, money and effort in organizing multiple events. Secondly, you can have the better of two worlds and people at the same place.<\/p>\n
