Planning to have your wedding in the heart of the summer season? In the western countries, it might be pleasant to have a summer wedding, but in Pakistan selecting this season might NOT even sound pleasant! The heat is too brutal to allow an outdoor theme. There are other ways to include the outdoors in your wedding though. A night time event at a terraced venue is one way to go with. You can book a place with too many doors and windows to allow a bit of view at your venue. And every venue big or small needs one main thing…YES, flowers it is! Floral backdrops, bouquets, arches and centerpieces are part of every wedding, regardless of the venue or the season. Nothing says bride like a budding rose or a blushing peony right? The innocence, purity and fragility of lovely buds are symbolic of the couples’ hopes and dreams for a happy future.
