Prices, timing and a skin plan that suits Bengaluru.
Peak: Muhurat-driven, with peaks in November to February and again in April to June. Quiet: Ashada masa, usually July, when almost no weddings happen.
Kannadiga, Tamil, Telugu, Malayali, Marwari and North Indian families — plus a very large outstation professional crowd.
Mild all year, which is the easiest weather for skin in this list. Dry air in January is the only issue.
Hard borewell water in most of the city. It is the main reason hair fall complaints are so common here.
A muhurat wedding here can be at 5 am and the reception at 7 pm the same day. That is two full looks in eighteen hours. Book it as a two-look day up front — adding it later doubles the cost.
Kalyana mantapas across Basavanagudi and Malleswaram, hotels on the airport road, and farm venues towards Nandi Hills.
Bride's own makeup and hair on the wedding day: about Rs 15000 to Rs 80000. Family or party makeup: about Rs 4000 to Rs 14000. A full pre-bridal package: about Rs 7000 to Rs 30000. These are ranges people actually pay, not quotes.
