Plan a seasonal menu
Overly decadent delicacies typical of weddings can often bog down your guests. Instead plan a refreshing seasonal menu filled with local produce that will delight their taste buds and keep their energy levels high. Healthy and tasty snacks like almonds, which are rich in Vitamin B2, Vitamin E, magnesium, and other nutrients, are a great source of energy. Include roasted and plain almonds for easy snacking, while sweet and savory snacks like laddoos, barfis, cakes, and kebabs, are sure to be relished.

Choose a pastel wedding theme
Match the mood with pastel decor themes and dress codes for a youthful, summer aesthetic. Soothing to the senses, the light colors look great in pictures, while also setting a breezy, comfortable ambiance.

Have a cool dessert menu
Nothing beats a summer wedding when it comes to the heavenly icy treats! Swap out traditional sweets that are often served hot for cold concoctions to keep your guests cool and in high spirits! Desserts like almond ice cream and kulfi, flavored with rose petals, and saffron, are not just delightful to taste, but also a healthier treat!

Dress right for the weather
Beat the heat in light fabrics and pastel ensembles. Opt for ensembles in chiffon, cotton, and soft silks, as well as lightweight embroidery work like chikankari, etc, to look and feel breezy as you enjoy the festivities. Embrace delicate, modern hues like blush, mint green, lemon yellow, lavender, and icy blue.

Healthy Wedding favors
Opt for healthy, edible wedding favors like almonds that your guests will truly appreciate. A symbol of luxury and good health in Indian culture, almonds make for a great festive gift for their durability and health benefits. Choose from plain, roasted, candies, flavored, and other varieties to keep things interesting and delicious.
