Udaipur: Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon always said she wanted a wedding fit for a princess and that’s why the beautiful palace filled city of Udaipur was naturally the first choice. Rajasthanis are famous for their generous hospitality and for their rich cuisine and for their heritage architectural sites as well. We think that the bright colours of an Indian wedding go so well with in a royal setting. Home to some world renowned hotels and resorts, the City of Lakes is certain to thrill your wedding photographer too. Why settle for anything less?

Kerala: It’s hard to pick that one perfect spot to say your wedding vows in Kerala. That’s because this exotic locale thrills irrespective of which part of the state you visit. From the lush tea gardens in Munnar to the white beaches of Fort Kochi to the quiet backwaters of Alleppey, brides are certain to have a hard time choosing the perfect backdrop. We suggest going all out if you plan on getting married here. The Kerala sari is famed for its simplicity, whereas a traditional sadhya or feast will keep your guests coming back for more. Plus, let’s not forget the grand bejewelled elephants and the swaying palm trees which add a dash of glamour to each photograph.

Andaman: So, you’ve always wanted a beach wedding with the perfect weather and yet you’re quite sure you don’t want to get married in Goa. We suggest heading down to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Ross or the Havelock Islands are quite a favourite with couples who are about to tie the knot and we think that they are the perfect exotic locale for you and your partner too. Plus, if you’d like to treat your guests to an unforgettable wedding experience, simply book an underwater diving session for them. Think of it as an extended vacation for the entire gang!

Agra: We have Shah Jahan to thank for putting Agra on the map but did you know that Agra is a favourite with tourists from all over the world? For many couples who are about to tie the knot, nothing could be more romantic than getting married at a location which overlooks the beautiful Taj, especially in the moonlight. What makes Agra such an appealing exotic locale is the fact that couples also get the opportunity to take many beautiful clicks by the Taj at different times of the day. A Mughal theme inspired wedding is the ideal way to celebrate new beginnings.
