Wedding is one of the biggest days in one’s life and most of us have our own perfect wedding in our head. For us, Indians, weddings are all about bling and grandeur and we try to make it as royal as it can be. While we have incorporated our own modern elements to our weddings, we still like it big, fat and beautiful.
Rajasthan, the royal capital of India, is known for its forts, royal culture and heritage and grand lifestyle of the kings that ruled the country. While most of these forts have been converted into heritage resorts and hotels, they still have that sense of style and touch of royalty to itself.
While planning a royal wedding can be dreamy, it can also be heavy on the pocket. As budget is an important factor when it comes to marriages, here are a few things that you can consider:
As an alternate to this, you can also find 5-star hotels, which do not really have the original palaces as their residence but have built the hotel with traditional fort-like architectural elements. These offer complete hospitality services and you might also find a few with a lake view. These hotels charge anything between Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,000 per head.
