Planning

South Asian weddings are not an edge case. They are a $50 billion global market with distinct rituals, vendor requirements, and planning timelines that no general wedding platform has ever properly served. Shaadi.ltd and Weddings.io were built to change that.

South Asian weddings span multiple days, multiple ceremonies, and multiple vendor categories that most wedding platforms have never properly addressed. This is the guide that changes that.

In most wedding cultures, parents carry the budget, the network, and the institutional memory of how things are supposed to be done. A platform that ignores them is missing half the planning equation. Parents.ltd and Weddings.io are built for the full picture.

A wedding is not a single story. It is three stories running in parallel — the bride, the groom, and the parents — each with their own checklist, their own anxieties, and their own definition of done. Weddings.io built a platform for all of them.

The wedding industry has spent a decade building beautiful inspiration tools. Brides in 2026 need something more useful: verified vendors, honest pricing, cultural fluency, and a platform that does not disappear after the deposit is paid.

How to plan a multicultural wedding without flattening either tradition: timing rules, ceremony order, family roles, vendor selection, menu, music, attire, and the run-of-show.

A comprehensive 12-month planning checklist for South Asian weddings — covering every event, every vendor, and every permit you need from engagement to honeymoon.

Choosing a South Asian wedding venue is about far more than aesthetics. Capacity, kitchen access, baraat routing, and table geometry determine whether the event works.
