Winter Wedding Season 2026–27 – Planning Mehndi, Baraat & Walima in the Cold, Fog and Smog

Winter is when many families hold their weddings, and it brings its own planning puzzle: short days, cold evenings, and fog or smog that can slow the drive between functions. These five guides walk through the season from December to February, from booking and timing to safe baraat travel, warm outfits, keeping guests comfortable without risking carbon monoxide, and food that warms people up. They are general planning notes, not forecasts: always check current official weather and road advisories on the day.
