Prices, timing and a skin plan that suits Indore.
Peak: November to February, and a short April window. Quiet: May and June.
Marwari, Maheshwari, Sindhi and Maharashtrian families. Long function lists and famously large food arrangements.
Dry and pleasant in winter, very dry in summer. Good weather for makeup.
Hard water, mostly from the Narmada pipeline.
Indore's food is the risk nobody names. Four days of heavy fried food and mithai before the wedding shows up as breakouts on the day. Eat normally till the sangeet.
Garden venues on the Bypass Road, banquet halls in Vijay Nagar, and farm lawns towards Mhow.
Bride's own makeup and hair on the wedding day: about Rs 10000 to Rs 48000. 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.
