How to make your wedding look great

“A great marriage isn't something that just happens; it’s something that must be created.”

-Fawn Weaver

Wedding is a collection of beautiful memories that are cherished throughout their life. Is it not important to make those memories look good? The following points helps you in making your wedding look good.  

Color Combinations

Choosing colors for your wedding is one of the most important things to do because it really sets the tone for the whole wedding. Color combination should be synchronized to the type of flowers you use and the color of dress you wear because you don’t want to pick a color that does not compliment your dress in the wedding.  Always pick a color on what you like because it is always a good thing to surround yourself with your favorite colors. After all it’s your Wedding.  

Lighting

Lighting is the most prominent factor that one has to take a proper care because it is the key element that makes your wedding special for the rest of your life. Whatever colors you put in, how much money you use for decoration, lighting is what going to sum up for the day. A good lighting always depends on what location you are in and the type of lights you use. Too much of light could make your photos or videos exposed or low light could make you look dark so it is always a good thing to maintain a balance in light. Good camera is always handy where you can adjust the values of ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture in-case of bad light.

  

Guests

Everyone wish for a happy wedding with all the guests who are invited. Whatever arrangements you make you need people to bless your wonderful day. So, a proper care is always needed in deciding the number of guests you want to invite. More number always makes the venue congested giving less scope for the photographers and the videographers to capture the right moment. Inviting right number of guests which is proportionate to the size of the venue will always be helpful and makes most of your things go smooth.

8 Points : Choose the Right Live Marriage Webcasting or Streaming Vendor for your Wedding

The day has come. You have planned your wedding pretty well. Made an elaborate list of guests who need to come to the wedding. Sending the invitations was a breeze. You have planned your leave for the wedding. And there you go,  you go home from office for the wedding vacation and you are waiting for your friends to arrive at your wedding. If it is a typical Indian wedding, friends of the bride / groom arrive at least 2-3 days before the wedding day. Especially the dudes' of the groom. Suddenly you get a call from your best friend saying that he is stuck up on some really urgent matter to which he needs to attend. 

Ok, no time to waste you immediately need to know what can be done to assuage this situation. Atleast you would feel happy if this guy at least gets a glimpse of the wedding. 

So enough of a case study.  Any one might miss a wedding. Brother, Sister, Friend and in rare occasions even the father or the mother of the groom / bride might miss the marriage.

So here you are with a situation where you need to live webcast the wedding. but how?

Let us de-mystify the concept of live streaming. At this outset you have two options.

Do the Live Streaming Yourself

While you can definitely live stream the wedding yourself but then it is always preferable if you can get a pro to do the work for you. You will be very busy during the days prior to the wedding. It will be difficult for you undertake this project. Live streaming is the same like a  photography / Videography project. Everyone owns a DSLR now a days but it doesn't mean that you ask your friend to cover the photography part of you wedding. So leave it to a pro when it comes to webcasting. A number of parameters like bandwidth, wiring, camera type, streaming formats, concurrent users etc have to be looked into. But if you still want to live stream the event anyway, then follow this blog article about DIY live wedding streaming your event. The below article gives you detailed insights as to what to look for when doing a internet live wedding webcasting.

http://seemymarriage.blogspot.in/2010/05/broadcast-marriage-live-on-internet.html

Points to check when asking a Webcasting or Broadcasting Vendor to live stream wedding for you in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Guntur, Visakhapatnam, Tirupathi and other Tier 1 cities:- 

Services to metro cities are generally targeted by any Webcasting Vendors as most number of events take place at these locations. When you look for a webcasting vendor, the following parameters have to be looked into

1. The Webcasting Platform: Make sure your webcasting vendor is hooked up with the correct live streaming platform. There are many free streaming platforms available. Many platforms allow for simple free live streaming services with the restriction on limited number of concurrent live users. The quality of the streaming will also be compromised, video buffering might take place. Commercials / Ads will be popping up since the webcasting vendor has chosen a free platform. And also you may also want to check if the platform supports iphone and android devices. 

So do make sure that the live streaming platform is absolutely right. There are specific and specially developed webcasting platforms available for weddings. The features of such platforms are

Ex: Live Wedding Webcast Service Provider

Double check if your vendor is using ad based , free live streaming third party services. These type of free services are highly unreliable. 

Ex : Online Marriage Webcast CDN

2. Live Wedding Streaming Invitation Video:

The platforms provides the couple with an interface to upload the photos / videos of the couple and then a live streaming video invitation is generated and given to the couple for sharing the invitation with their family and friends. A Live streaming Video can be in any one of the following formats. 




Examples : Online Live Wedding Webcast Invitation Video

3. Instant Video Archival + Atleast 1 year storage of the Streamed event: 

The platform provides an instant archival of the broadcasted event. Once the event has completed, the live users can now log in to the video and they can watch the event again and again. This video will be available online for atleast 1 year of time. 


4. Live Wedding Event Support for the broadcast : Automated and Non Automated

Sample Use Case: The broadcaster is in the middle of capturing the most important stage of the wedding i.e when the couple exchange their rings.  All of a sudden the live user who sits in a remote location abroad cannot watch the live stream at that particular moment and the video goes black. These are the issues that happen generally when the internet at the venue / wedding hall goes down completely or when the bandwidth drops below a threshold level. Then how will the broadcaster know that there has been an issue. All the parameters at his end might show green. 

Automated Support : For these sort of contingencies Some video streaming platforms provide automated watches on live streams to tell the broadcaster / videographer at the location that the end users are not able to watch the live stream. You get alerts if the bandwidth is dropping below a certain level at the broadcast location. Great Isn't it . So even before the live user knows that there is a problem , the broadcaster handles the issue. 

The live user is happy --> The cusomer/couple is happy -->  Broadcaster is happy / he gets paid. 

Non Automated Support: There is this concept of non automated support when the live streaming platform vendor monitors the video stream manually and updates the broadcaster regarding any discrepancies in the wedding stream. 

What is the sort of internet connection that will be established at the venue. For developed economies like the US and the other western countries, internet bandwidth will be provided by the venue / banquet hall authorities. that is in the form of wi-fi. But coming to developing economies like India, there is a dearth of bandwidth. Only wireless internet connectivity via CDMA, WCDMA, GSM are available in most of the locations. 

The popularity for Webcasting in India is increasing day by day as it is more flexible and secure in sending data. So, it is very important to choose a right Webcasting Vendor who could make your event reach to all the people who are invited. Following are the key points that one has to check before confirming a Webcasting Vendor.

5. Live Viewer Software Features

Events like weddings are personal functions which are generally shared with in close set of people. Features provided by any Webcasting vendors also play a crucial role in deciding one. As the process for Webcasting is through internet one has to make sure whether the vendor offers Password Protected, Secure payments,  Registrations that are user friendly and backup for alternative live streaming.

Ex : Wedding Live Streaming Features

6. Price

Kindly do not go in for cheap alternatives. Look for the experience of the provider in terms of the number of events broadcasted and see if the vendor has already broadcasted from your marriage venue before. 

Experienced vendors charge a premium price but you can rest assured  your webcast is in professional hands. A keen look is always needed on choosing the right package for the right price that is offered by any vendor. But the question is whether it is enough for just broadcasting the event. One can always ask for Complimentary services like Pre Wedding Invitation Video, DVD containing the whole event, edited post wedding videos. Samples of edited video are given below

Edited Video Intro of the Webcast

The pricing will vary between 500$ - 2000$ depending on the live webcasting package. 

7. Support

Vendors should be available for the clients 24/7 through phone or e-mail in case of any inconvenience. It is always better to ask for their Demos, Blogs to check the quality and credibility of the firm.

Mobility and Servicing Capabilities in Tier 2 / 3 cities like Nellore, Warangal, Karimnagar, Coimbatore, Kakinada, Rajahmundry, Vizianagaram, Madhurai, Jaipur etc 

There are also many other developing cities and villages who give much prominence to weddings and other events. So, it is always important to check whether they provide their services to your respective location.
