Being someone who lives so close to Kolkata, I can assure you that the weather has never been this uncertain. While I wake up in the morning in a pleasant atmosphere, the temperature skyrockets by the time it is noon. In between tons of sweat and some heatwaves, suddenly a storm starts hitting in the evening with massive rainfall. The weather this summer season is very much confusing and doubtful. Arranging a wedding in such uncertain times is really stressful but the people of Kolkata are all set to celebrate the grandest weddings even in such a climate. With some changes and adjustments, Kolkatans are gearing up for the most beautiful wedding ceremonies without any compromises.
Choosing The Perfect Summer Venue Solves Half Of The Issues
It is a major no-no to host any wedding functions outdoors. We don’t know when there will be heat waves or sudden rainfall, so it is always a wise option to choose an indoor venue. Bilkul ricks lene ka nahi!!! Big and airy venues such as AC banquets are the safest wedding venues. According to a report by The Times of India, a wedding planner shared that people are looking out for such banquets this wedding season. Wedding venues are getting proper arrangements for fans and ACs and ventilation to deal with the summer temperature. Well, not just closed banquets are in demand. To add a spark of fun and amusement, many Kolkatans are even looking for venues with great swimming pools. Pool parties are always super fun, right? Haldi and mehendi can be arranged beautifully by the pools.

There are some rituals and traditions that are generally celebrated outdoors. For such times, people are completing all these ceremonial traditions before the temperature starts rising as the day progresses.
Less Is More!!!
Every bride and groom always wants to look their best on this special day. But how will someone wear such heavy wedding couture in this sweaty weather? A stylist shared with The Times of India how brides and grooms can select soft fabrics so that they can stay comfortable throughout. Also, pastels are trending a lot right now. Not only do these colours look unique and magnificent, but they also add a vibrance to the whole outfit. Some colourful additions will add a beautiful charm to the ensemble. Also, opting for minimal jewellery is a good idea in this summer heat.
No one wants cakey makeup on this day. It is better to use very light makeup instead of layering foundations and concealers a lot. A fresh glam matte look is perfect for a summer wedding. Your makeup will also last longer.

Food Menus Are Seeing A Change Too!
Bengalis and their love for food are unparalleled. Most weddings are incomplete without mutton. But it seems like the intolerable summer heat is changing people’s preferences as well. More and more people are choosing chicken dishes and going for less spicy options.
