About This Library

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Swariya Wedding Guides library?

It's a free collection of 138 wedding planning guides covering regional traditions, venues, vendors, budgets, and common planning decisions — written by Swariya Weddings from 150+ real weddings planned across Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hyderabad since 2020.

Is it free to use?

Yes. Every guide is free to read, with no sign-up or account required. You don't need to be a Swariya client to use them.

Who are these guides for?

Anyone planning a wedding in India — whether or not you end up working with a planner. They're written for couples trying to understand their options before making decisions, not just to promote our services.

What can I learn from these guides?

The library covers regional and religious wedding traditions, venue types and styles, vendor selection (photography, catering, décor, entertainment), budgeting, pre-wedding ceremonies, and practical comparisons like planner-vs-DIY or banquet hall vs. garden venue.

Do I need to hire Swariya Weddings to use these guides?

No. The guides are publicly available to anyone planning a wedding. If you'd like hands-on help, we plan weddings across Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hyderabad, and select destinations — but reading the guides doesn't require it.
