Question 1

How do I plan a wedding in Bangladesh step by step?

Accepted Answer

Start 8–12 months in advance. Secure your venue, planner, and key vendors early. Then follow a structured month-by-month timeline for shopping, logistics, and ceremonies.

Question 2

When should a bride start wedding shopping in Bangladesh?

Ideally 9–10 months before the wedding, especially for custom sarees, lehengas, or imported fabrics.

Gaye Holud, Mehendi (Henna Ceremony), Bridal Showers / Aiburo Bhaat, Wedding Day (Biye), and Wedding Reception / Walima / Bou Bhat.

Question 4

Can I plan a wedding in Bangladesh while living abroad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It’s best to work with a planner or family coordinator and arrive 1–2 weeks before the events.

Question 5

Is it possible to plan a destination wedding in Bangladesh without visiting before the wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many couples living abroad — especially in the UK, USA, Gulf, or Europe — plan their entire destination wedding in Bangladesh without making multiple trips home. With today’s technology, most venue tours, vendor meetings, and planning discussions can happen virtually. However, having a reliable local contact (a family member or experienced coordinator) is essential for decision-making, quality checks, and coordination on the ground. If possible, consider visiting 2–3 months before the wedding for final fittings, food tastings, and personal walkthroughs — but it’s not mandatory if managed well.

Question 6

What should I prioritize in the last month before a wedding?

Accepted Answer

Final outfit fittings, RSVPs, event rehearsals, backup plans, and self-care.
