Winter in Bangladesh doesn’t only bring fog, cold wind and barren environment, but it also brings weddings! I don’t think anyone would be surprised if they are told that winter is considered as the season of wedding in Bangladesh. But ever wondered why so many weddings take place specifically in winter? This post is specifically written to give that answer to you!
Reasons behind Winter Being the Most Popular Bangladeshi Wedding Season
Longer Nights
Most of the wedding ceremonies take place after the evening. That’s quite understandable as well, as the guests get free time to attend once the working hours are over. Also, lighting and decoration looks great at night. And on top of that, for partying and having fun, even is the best possible time. You can’t think of a sub-continent without these, right? If the wedding ceremony takes place in winter, then it is possible to start the ceremony early. Also, you have more time to prepare some delicious dinner when the ceremony has a longer night to be concluded.
No Rain
While most of the weddings these days take place inside convention halls, it is very much possible for bad weather to ruin all your arrangements and cost you some real money. Moreover, the guests will not want to attend a ceremony when the weather is really horrible. If you want to make the wedding ceremony successful, it is important to make sure it is arranged in good weather. Winter is the season when it is least likely to have heavy rainfalls and thunderstorms. If you are planning on an outdoor wedding, then arranging it in summer or monsoon is not the best of ideas to be honest.
More Comfort
Winter might be cold in Bangladesh, but definitely it is not on intolerable level, especially in the cities. Anyways, the cold weather can work at the best interest of the wedding. You can’t think of any wedding without heavy makeups of the bride and groom, as well as the guests. In summer, due to scorching heat people feel really uncomfortable. When makeup and heavy outfits are associated, it becomes way tougher to tolerate. That is not likely to happen in winter. Moreover, when a good number of people gather at one place, it is better to have a cool weather.
Cost Minimization
A cool weather means won’t have to care about the costs of air conditioning. Be it your home or your hired convention hall, making the air conditioning system overwork will definitely take the costs higher. Regardless of the number of guests you are willing to host, you won’t have to pay a single penny for air conditioning. This way you will be able to save some significant costs from your wedding budget. Moreover, when air conditioning systems overwork, it becomes quite harmful for the environment as well.
Season of Vacation
Schools and educational institutions are off during this particular season. As a result, the guests that you want to invite in the wedding can come with their kids. Also, a large portion of the wedding participants are students. If the wedding takes place during the vacation, then these students are able to give more to it. After all, the Holud dance crew always consists of the young guns. Everyone wants to have that arrangement on their wedding. That’s why winter is way more convenient than other seasons for arranging more fun events as more time can be allotted to the preparations.
And the Honeymoon Season
The newly married couple wants to go somewhere beautiful for their honeymoon just after their marriage. Going to such journeys in summer might seem like quite some nuisance. Moreover, most of the honeymoon places in the country are suitable to travel during winter. If the wedding takes place during the summer, then the couple might have to wait for quite a few months before they can go somewhere and be on their own. But this waiting period will take away the excitement and charm out of the honeymoon that the couple actually deserves.
There you go, now you have the reasons for which Bangladeshi weddings are mostly arranged during the winter season. I am not saying it is not possible to arrange a wedding in summer or any season other than winter, as every season has its own charms and can include many different ways of brining joy and happiness to a wedding.
