Prices, timing and a skin plan that suits Dehradun.
Peak: October to December, and again in March to May. Quiet: July to September, the monsoon.
Garhwali and Kumaoni families, plus Punjabi and army families. Pahadi weddings have their own ritual sequence.
Cool and clean, but the valley gets cold and damp at night. Skin behaves better here than in the plains.
Soft mountain water — the best in this list for hair.
Do not over-treat your skin here. Dehradun brides often arrive with skin that is already good and then wreck it with three peels in the last month.
Resorts on the Mussoorie road, Rajpur Road hotels, and army mess venues.
Bride's own makeup and hair on the wedding day: about Rs 10000 to Rs 45000. Family or party makeup: about Rs 3000 to Rs 10000. A full pre-bridal package: about Rs 5000 to Rs 20000. These are ranges people actually pay, not quotes.
