Decide Your Budget First
Setting a budget and guest list is the foundation of your wedding planning. Decide how much you’re willing to spend on each element: venue, catering, décor, photography, and more. Be realistic and allow a buffer for unexpected costs. Start by creating a guest list based on family, friends, and other important connections. A clear guest count will help in venue selection and catering estimates. Make sure to prioritize essential expenses and consider alternatives for areas where you can save costs, such as DIY décor or local vendors

Choose the Perfect Venue
Kerala offers diverse wedding venues—beaches, hill stations, heritage halls, and traditional kalyana mandapams. Choose based on your wedding style, guest count, and budget. Early booking ensures better rates and availability. Consider accessibility for your guests and look for amenities like parking, restrooms, and accommodation options if needed. Visit shortlisted venues in person, check for backup options in case of rain, and read reviews from other couples to ensure quality.
Hire a Professional Wedding Planner
A local planner like Confiar Events knows the best vendors and can manage all aspects—from decoration to logistics. This reduces stress and ensures professional handling of every detail. Discuss your preferences and budget openly to get customized solutions that suit your vision. Choose a planner with local expertise and a portfolio of similar weddings, as they will understand the cultural nuances and logistics involved.
Select Your Wedding Theme
Your theme sets the tone of your wedding. Whether it’s a classic Kerala style with brass lamps and flowers or a modern beach setup with pastel hues, choose a theme that resonates with you and fits your budget. Explore color palettes, floral arrangements, and lighting styles to create a cohesive look. Incorporate elements like traditional Kerala kasavu sarees or floral mandaps for a unique touch. Don’t forget to include your preferences for lighting—whether romantic lanterns or vibrant LED displays.
