and the best way to get everything taken care of. They know which vendors to use and which to

your time can be at a premium. Wedding planners can take the burden of handling caterers, the
photographer, and musicians and so on off your hands. While that may sound interesting now,
you will find it is a critical bit of help as the magic day approaches. Professional wedding
planners are based worldwide but the industry is largest in the USA, Western Europe and China.
Various wedding planning courses are available to those who wish to pursue the career. Planners
generally charge either a percentage of the total wedding cost, or a flat fee. Planners are also
popular with couples planning a destination wedding, where the documentation and paperwork
can be complicated. Any country where a wedding is held requires different procedures
depending on the nationality of each the bride and the groom. A local wedding planner can take
care of the different procedures. Although planning a major event can be exciting and fun, it can
also be time consuming and very stressful. With today’s hectic lifestyle, nuclear families and
time constraints it is important to have someone dedicated and knowledgeable who understands
the requirements and follows through with all the details. As wedding planners, their aim is to

Business development concerns all the activities involved in realizing new business
opportunities, including product or service design, business model design, and marketing.
When splitting business development into two parts, we have: ‘businesses and

marketing is still correct and can be adopted from the old definition. When supplying a
solution, it is important to focus on the total offering you give instead of only focusing on
physical product, service, advice, delivery and the costs, including price that are involved
in using it. Hereby the advice, adaptation to the customer and the costs are the most
important factors to get the right combination within the offering. (Ford et al., 2006;

surrounds it.

Problems of the Industry
Planning a wedding isn’t like planning a conference or a trade show. There is one factor that
makes it unlike planning any other event – Emotion. Although you’ve got to take many of the
same details into account, Special Vivah tend to be extremely emotional affairs for everyone
involved. Therefore planning a wedding comes with its own unique set of roadblocks.
Here, straight from the mouths of wedding planning veterans are five of the biggest challenges
facing wedding planners today – and how you might deal with them.
Low-Grade Competition
Unlike corporate event management, there are fewer barriers to becoming a wedding planner. As
a result, the niche is flooded with inexperienced, untrained individuals who provide less than
stellar service and charge far too little for their efforts. It can be difficult for really talented,
experienced professionals to charge accordingly when clients are comparing apples to oranges.
“Take them under your wing and demonstrate that being ethical, professional, and investing in
their business is the right way to do it,” explains industry expert Alan Berg. “Show that
professional training and certification is an asset, not only to their business but to their clients. If
you really think that these newbie’s are taking business from you, then you’re not
Takeaway: “You don’t sell planning services. You sell specifically you as the provider of those
services.”
17
Avoiding Bad Vendors
Most vendor and service provider categories in the wedding industry lack uniform standards.
Service and quality are hard to quantify and there is little to no regulation. Finding vendors that
have or lack ethics, quality, accountability, personality and experience can be a bit of a
Again we turn to Alan Berg who says simply only hire those that prove to meet your standards.
“If you don’t provide quality and service, the marketplace will eventually put you out of business
– it holds vendors accountable; you don’t need a governing body to do that. Quality and service
are totally in your control. Don’t wait for someone else to set a standard. Raise the bar so high
that your customers and prospects can’t imagine doing business with anyone but you.”
Has Reality TV caused couples to set unrealistic expectations? This is tied to a trending concept
that you “get more than what you pay for.” There’s a perception of wedding planning that’s
absolute fiction; that without work, decoration, services, and money a venue is already paradise.
Or the idea that you can expect twelve cake tastings for free, or show up announced to preview a
How is a wedding planner to overcome the unrealistic demands, yet also make a couple feel
special?
“No wedding professional should have to endure mistreatment by any customer. It’s always our
right to say “no, I’m not taking that job.” The more experience you get, the more you can sense.
18
It’s also a matter of taking control of each customer and situation – that also comes with
experience.”
The Budget
This is one of the few challenges on the list that Special Vivah share in common with other
events. Proper budgeting of a wedding is a difficult task, particularly when weighing everyone’s
expectations. As a wedding planner, your job is to make sure the bride and groom get the best
“bang for their buck.” Tap into every contact you’ve made, and do everything you can to get a
Your couple will have to make some difficult choices and remember Special Vivah are
emotional. Your job is to figure out the best possible options that work within the couple’s
budget.

SWOT analysis of the organization
A SWOT analysis, which examines strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, is a
critical exercise for any business. For a wedding planner, this approach can help analyze
current operations, identify areas of opportunity and compete effectively against other
local wedding planners. A SWOT analysis helps to organize advertising objectives and
Strengths
A wedding planner must first identify the strengths of the business before being able to
translate these advantages into business growth. These strengths could be years of
experience in the wedding industry, a background in interior design that translates into
wedding decor set-up, or even a vast network of vendors for clients can choose from. By
discerning what comparative advantage your business has in the marketplace, you can
begin to develop a strategy that highlights these strengths and conveys them to your
target market.
Weaknesses
Every business has weaknesses. By identifying them before your consumers do, you can
work to minimize their impact. For a wedding planner, you may determine that you have
a smaller staff than other local wedding planners, or you may have a higher price point.
These are not necessarily things you need to change in your business model, but being
aware of them can help you to craft advertising materials that downplay these potential
weaknesses. For example, you could spin "small staff" into "personal attention," which
23
Opportunities
Identify areas that your wedding planning business can grow, or the opportunities in the
marketplace. For example, if outdoor Special Vivah are becoming more popular in your
area, and you have vast experience in planning these events, an array of outdoor wedding
venues you work with, or numerous wedding props suitable for an outdoor event, this
marketplace, you can exploit that opening by gearing your messages towards that target
market.
Threats
Threats differ from weaknesses in that a weakness is generally internal and a threat is
external. For example, if there is proprietary wedding planning software that your
competition has developed that could help them take away some of your potential clients,
helps consumers and potential clients plan their wedding themselves, can also be viewed
as a threat to your business. Any outside force that could potentially minimize your flow
Awareness of potential threats can help you to plan for them in your strategy and
marketing tactics.

program into an intermediate language called Java byte codes —the platform-

You can think of Java byte codes as the machine code instructions for the Java

byte codes help make “write once, run anywhere” possible. You can compile your
program into byte codes on any platform that has a Java compiler. The byte codes
can then be run on any implementation of the Java VM. That means that as long as a

developers have much more important things to worry about than the syntax that is

suddenly change.
Through the ODBC Administrator in Control Panel, you can specify the
particular database that is associated with a data source that an ODBC application
program is written to use. Think of an ODBC data source as a door with a name on it.
Each door will lead you to a particular database. For example, the data source named

From a programming perspective, the beauty of ODBC is that the application can be
written to use the same set of function calls to interface with any data source,
regardless of the database vendor. The source code of the application doesn’t change
whether it talks to Oracle or SQL Server. We only mention these two as an example.
There are ODBC drivers available for several dozen popular database systems. Even
Excel spreadsheets and plain text files can be turned into data sources. The operating

system uses the Registry information written by ODBC Administrator to determine
which low-level ODBC drivers are needed to talk to the data source (such as the
interface to Oracle or SQL Server). The loading of the ODBC drivers is transparent
even handles many of the network issues for the application programmer.
The advantages of this scheme are so numerous that you are probably
thinking there must be some catch. The only disadvantage of ODBC is that it isn’t as
efficient as talking directly to the native database interface. ODBC has had many
detractors make the charge that it is too slow. Microsoft has always claimed that the
critical factor in performance is the quality of the driver software that is used. In our
humble opinion, this is true. The availability of good ODBC drivers has improved a
great deal recently. And anyway, the criticism about performance is somewhat
analogous to those who said that compilers would never match the speed of pure
assembly language. Maybe not, but the compiler (or ODBC) gives you the
opportunity to write cleaner programs, which means you finish sooner. Meanwhile,

JDBC Goals
Few software packages are designed without goals in mind. JDBC is one that,
because of its many goals, drove the development of the API. These goals, in
conjunction with early reviewer feedback, have finalized the JDBC class library into
The goals that were set for JDBC are important. They will give you some insight
as to why certain classes and functionalities behave the way they do. The eight
The designers felt that their main goal was to define a SQL interface for Java.
Although not the lowest database interface level possible, it is at a low enough level
for higher-level tools and APIs to be created. Conversely, it is at a high enough level
for application programmers to use it confidently. Attaining this goal allows for
35
future tool vendors to “generate” JDBC code and to hide many of JDBC’s
2. SQL Conformance
SQL syntax varies as you move from database vendor to database vendor. In an
effort to support a wide variety of vendors, JDBC will allow any query statement to
be passed through it to the underlying database driver. This allows the connectivity
module to handle non-standard functionality in a manner that is suitable for its users.
The JDBC SQL API must “sit” on top of other common SQL level APIs. This
goal allows JDBC to use existing ODBC level drivers by the use of a software
interface. This interface would translate JDBC calls to ODBC and vice versa.
4. Provide a Java interface that is consistent with the rest of the Java system
Because of Java’s acceptance in the user community thus far, the designers feel
that they should not stray from the current design of the core Java system.
5. Keep it simple
This goal probably appears in all software design goal listings. JDBC is no
exception. Sun felt that the design of JDBC should be very simple, allowing for only
Strong typing allows for more error checking to be done at compile time; also,

7. Keep the common cases simple
Because more often than not, the usual SQL calls used by the programmer are
simple to perform with JDBC. However, more complex SQL statements should also
be possible.

India’s burgeoning middle class- now 300 million strong – are turning weddings into showcases
of their growing disposable incomes and newfound appetites for the goodies of the global market
place. The change is visible in middle class who want the flavor and ambience of elite weddings.

with the rise in disposable incomes of the rich and upper middle Indian class and over the years
weddings have become aspiration. Your wedding should be better than your neighbor’s.
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS:
Wedding planners belong to event management industry which is growing at fast and steady rate.
While this industry is still evolving, Indian event managers and wedding planners have clearly
demonstrated their capabilities in successfully managing several big fat weddings and mega
national and international events over the past few years. In fact, event managers and wedding
planners are also developing properties around events. With the rising incomes, people are also
developing properties around events. With rising incomes, people are also spending more on
wedding, parties and other personal functions. However, issues like high entertainment taxes in
certain states, lack of world-class in fracture and the unorganized nature of most event
39
management companies, continue to somewhat check the potential growth in this segment of the
industry.
Industry size
The size of the organized live entertainment business estimated in 2013 was around INR 9.4
billion having grown by around 17% from the previous year that is 2012. It was estimated that
the industry will grow at a CAGR of around 19% over the next five years to approximately INR
22 billion by 2016. This growth is mainly on account of increased marketing budgets, and an
increased focus on the importance of live entertainment, as part of the promotional spends of
corporate.
Weddings have forever been a significant and important celebration for many people around the
world. They celebrate the binding love between two people and the journey into a new life
together. Often times, weddings are events that brides have been dreaming about and looking
forward to their entire lives. Many brides would even agree that, “a wedding is the celebration of
a lifetime, and whether that celebration is a grand fete for hundreds or an intimate gathering of
family and friends, it is a day when dreams come true” (Davis, 2000, p. 8). This idealistic,
romantic view about weddings has not always been the way it is today. For much of human
history it was rare that love was the main reason for people to get married. Until very recently,
many civilizations believed in the economic functions of a marriage over personal satisfactions
(Coontz, 2006). Marriages were made for family and economic benefits, with the hope that the
marriage would result in love later on (Coontz). As a result of this traditional approach, arranged
marriages were very common for many years. Only in recent years did the idea of marriage for
love become popular. This new concept of a wedding speaks to many brides and encourages
40
them to make their fantasy weddings come true. The feeling of a dream wedding as a necessity
intensifies the lavishness of weddings each year. Significantly more money is spent to create a
dream wedding (Otnes & Pleck, 2003). The average budget for a wedding is now estimated at
nearly $27,000 (Grossman, 2012). Couples are going above and beyond to make their weddings
perfect. Every year is different when it comes to creating a dream wedding. In order to keep up
with the changes, brides now tend to follow popular trends throughout their planning process.
Many couples look to trends to help them with their wedding planning needs. According to
Coontz (2005), “weddings today are the first chance a couple gets to announce to the world their
chosen joint identity” (p. 82). The idea of a joint identity encourages brides to utilize certain
popular trends to display this identity in the most unique way possible (Coontz). Trends in
weddings can range from smaller style trends to broader logistics trends. Each of these different
trends can greatly influence how a bride and groom choose to develop the wedding of their
dreams. This study analyzes what wedding planners believe will be the wedding industry trends
within the next five years. It will be beneficial to new wedding planners and brides planning their
weddings. Within the competitively individualistic wedding industry, any type of wedding
planner, bride or professional, can utilize this trend information to make creative, well-informed
wedding decisions.
Wedding trends. Wedding trends change throughout the years and are for the most part greatly
influenced by many societal factors. These factors and trends influence many couples’ choices
when it comes to what they want in their weddings. The following section will present
information on the different smaller and broader trends of weddings. The smaller trends
predicted for 2013 are much different than trends of the past. In particular, wedding colors,
themes, floral arrangements, and beauty styles have become center-stage trends. According to
41
Winikka and Ma (2013), a “homestead elegance” and “dinner party chic” theme has emerged for
2013 (p. 5). These wedding themes incorporate natural outdoor details with elegant,
sophisticated elements to create a unique mixed theme that can be seen within all of the
emerging trends. In particular, the themes are tied together by a neutral color palette that is set
off by lush, romantic floral arrangements of peonies and garden roses (Griffiths, 2013). The
bridal beauty styles also follow along with these popular themes. Brides are now most likely to
be seen in fitted silk 1920s style dresses complemented by a refined rustic hairstyle that displays
the mixture between "homestead elegance" and "dinner party chic" (Winikka & Ma, 2013). The
smaller, popular trends can seem the most important to brides, but the broader trends are just as
important to consider when planning a wedding. Trends like the budget allotted and venue
location can greatly affect the decisions made regarding the wedding planning (Daniels &
Loveless, 2007).
The wedding budget can be the biggest limiting factor for a bride when planning a wedding. The
budget is considered in every decision about the wedding and determines how big and

2) Technical Feasibility
3) Operational Feasibility.
Economical Feasibility:
In economical feasibility, analysis of the cost of the system is carried out. The system should be
only developed if it is going to give returned the current manual system user can get the price
only by purchasing the newspapers. In addition if he/she wants to see archives of particular
equity then he has to refer to all the old newspapers. For research reports he has to buy another
magazine. So Instead of buying no of magazines user has to just go online and with a single click
he can get whatever information he wants. So our project of online share news passes the test of
economical feasibility.

Technical Feasibility:
It is basically used to see existing computer, hardware and software etc, weather it is sufficient
or additional equipments are required? Minimum System Requirement is such that it can be
affordable by of the user who is having computer. All the user requires is compatible browser
Operational Feasibility:
Once the system is designed there must be trained and expert operator. If there are not trained
From the user’s perspective our system fully operational feasible as it just requires some
knowledge of computer. Operators only need add daily prices of various equities and there are
enough validations available so operator does not require any special technical knowledge. So
