Indian Wedding Planning
Indian wedding weekends are full of color, tradition, and once-in-a-lifetime moments, often across multiple events and venues. At Wedicity, we plan and produce Indian wedding celebrations with cultural fluency, design-forward polish, and the kind of calm logistics that let you (and your families) actually enjoy the experience.
​
We also support the broader world of South Asian weddings, including celebrations rooted in Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali, and Afghan traditions. Whether you’re hosting a multi-day Chicago celebration, planning a destination weekend, or blending cultures and traditions, our team builds a clear plan, a trusted vendor lineup, and a wedding weekend timeline that flows.
Indian Weddings, Planned With Cultural Fluency and Modern Precision
An Indian wedding isn’t just one day. It’s often a series of meaningful events, each with its own energy, attire, guest expectations, and production needs. We help you bring it all together with:
-
A cohesive weekend plan across events, venues, and vendors
-
Detailed timelines that respect ceremony requirements, family priorities, and travel logistics
-
Guest experience planning for large counts, VIP families, and out-of-town travel
-
Design and production management that keeps the celebration elevated and organized
Planning a Hindu wedding, Sikh wedding, Muslim wedding, Jain wedding, Christian Indian wedding, or a fusion celebration? We build around your values, your community, and the way your family celebrates. For South Asian weddings more broadly, we apply the same culturally fluent planning approach—honoring religious customs, regional differences, and family traditions while keeping the weekend organized and guest-friendly.
Indian Wedding Traditions We Know How to Plan Around
Indian wedding traditions are beautiful, layered, and often time-sensitive. Our job is to protect the meaning while making the logistics feel effortless.
​
Common events we plan (and how we support them):
-
Mehndi: Scheduling, artist sourcing, guest flow, and timing that works with outfit changes and photography
-
Haldi: Location set-up, décor protection, attire planning, and a cleanup-friendly plan that keeps things stress-free
-
Sangeet / Garba night: Run-of-show, stage and sound planning, seating layouts, entrances, and dance timing
-
Baraat: Route planning, music coordination, permits where needed, and a smooth arrival plan that keeps guests engaged
-
Ceremony + Mandap: Mandap layout, guest sightlines, processional order, cueing, audio, and timing coordination
-
Reception: Grand entrances, speeches, special performances, and pacing that keeps the celebration moving
Every family and region is different. We’ll guide you through what’s traditional, what’s optional, and what’s uniquely yours.
Indian weddings often require scale, but the best celebrations also feel intentional. Wedicity designs weddings that photograph beautifully and function smoothly.
​
We plan for:
-
Mandap design, staging, florals, lighting, and draping
-
Ceremony seating and sightlines so guests can actually see the rituals
-
A polished production plan for vendor load-in, room flips, and tight timelines
-
Comfort details like water stations, shade planning, clear signage, and transportation flow
-
A consistent design story across every event, from welcome moments to the reception finale

Planning
GUIDANCE
From outfit changes to jewelry to glam timing, attire and beauty are a major part of the plan, not an afterthought.
​
For the couple and wedding party
We help you map out:
-
Outfit changes by event and time of day
-
Dressing assistance timing for heavier looks and detailed accessories
-
Photo timing that respects ceremony moments and keeps the day moving
Whether you’re wearing an Indian wedding saree, lehenga, sherwani, or a modern fusion look, we’ll make sure your timeline supports the real-life logistics of getting ready. For South Asian weddings, we also help plan styling for events that may call for different attire traditions—so you feel confident and comfortable throughout the weekend.
​
For guests
If you want, we’ll provide easy guidance for dress codes and cultural etiquette, especially helpful for fusion or multicultural guest lists. This can include suggestions for indian wedding guest attire, styling notes, and what’s appropriate for different events. We can also add attire notes on your wedding website so guests feel confident choosing indian wedding outfits or indian wedding guest dresses that fit the vibe. When helpful, we can also include a quick guide for South Asian wedding attire expectations (for example, modesty notes, color considerations, and event-by-event dress codes).
​
Hair and glam timing
Hair and makeup can take longer than expected during a multi-event weekend. We help plan realistic glam windows and vendor schedules, and we can share inspiration guidance for Indian wedding hairstyles that work well for dancing, ceremonies, and outfit changes.
Attire + Beauty Guidance for You and Your Guests
Clear communication makes a multi-event weekend feel easy for everyone.
​
We can guide your invitation and guest communication plan, including:
-
An Indian wedding invitation suite that clearly outlines events, locations, start times, and dress codes
-
Insert cards or digital details for separate events (mehndi, haldi, sangeet, ceremony, reception, brunch)
-
Wedding website structure, RSVP tracking by event, and travel guidance for out-of-town guests
-
Ceremony etiquette notes that are warm, simple, and guest-friendly
The goal is to reduce confusion, minimize last-minute questions, and keep guests excited and informed.
Invitations, Stationery, and Communication That Keeps Everyone Aligned
COORDINATION
Vendor Team + Production Expertise for Indian Weddings
Indian weddings often require a highly coordinated vendor team with strong production experience. Wedicity helps you source and manage the right partners, then keeps everyone aligned through planning and execution.
​
We commonly coordinate:
-
Catering teams experienced with large guest counts and specific menu requirements
-
DJs, live musicians, dhol, and performance coordination for key moments
-
Décor teams who understand mandap builds and large-scale installs
-
Photo and video teams who know the pacing and must-capture traditions
-
Transportation and guest logistics across multiple events and venues
We also handle the behind-the-scenes details: venue rules, timelines, load-ins, staffing plans, and contingency planning.
