“A to Z of the Wedding World After Google’s 2024 Core Update”
How Our Industry’s Most Personal Dictionary Proves Why Quality Still Wins
🟨 INTRODUCTION: When Google Sneezes, the Whole Internet Catches a Cold
If you’ve been anywhere near digital publishing in the past month, you’ve probably seen the tremors. On March 2024, Google rolled out one of its largest and most disruptive core updates in years, with a clear message:
“We’re done tolerating lazy content.”
The target?
-
AI-generated spam.
-
Rewritten fluff.
-
Websites pretending to be useful.
But the collateral damage hit wide. Tens of thousands of blogs — wedding blogs included — tanked overnight. From Pinterest-style “20 wedding tips” to generic planner websites, anything that lacked depth, originality, and soul got swept into the algorithmic ocean.
But what if you weren’t playing that game to begin with?
What if, instead of producing content for bots, you wrote for brides? Grooms? Curious guests? Culture lovers?
What if you created… a wedding dictionary?
🟩 WHY WE BUILT A WEDDING DICTIONARY — AND WHY GOOGLE ACTUALLY LIKES IT
You read that right. At a time when the internet is cluttered with AI essays and spammy listicles, we went the opposite way. We built a living, breathing “A to Z of the Wedding World” — a handcrafted glossary of wedding terms, feelings, philosophies, and cultural gems from across the globe.
Think of it as a dictionary with a soul, written by people who actually plan weddings, attend them, and pour art into each one.
We didn’t just list definitions.
We designed emotions.
We explained words like “Afterparty” and “Zardozi” with stories, not summaries.
We made each letter stand for a feeling, a tradition, or a personal touch that makes weddings unforgettable.
And here’s the twist:
Google noticed.
Our bounce rates dropped. Time on page skyrocketed.
Why? Because the dictionary wasn’t trying to rank — it was trying to resonate.
🟦 A CORE UPDATE THAT VALIDATED REAL BRANDS
The March 2024 Core Update came with some clear algorithmic shifts:
-
More weight on original content from real people and businesses
-
Less tolerance for pages that exist just for traffic
-
Demotion of thin affiliate pages and copycat blogs
We survived — and thrived — not because we gamed the system.
But because we didn’t.
We built our dictionary for couples who:
-
Wanted to know what a Haldi ceremony really feels like
-
Didn’t know the difference between Anand Karaj and Nikah
-
Googled “what is Barat?” while attending their first Indian wedding
-
Wondered why Thai weddings involve water rituals and golden strings
-
Cried reading the meaning of a First Dance, even before having one
This wasn’t “content.”
This was culture turned into context.
And that’s the kind of work Google now rewards.
🟥 A DICTIONARY DESIGNED BY PLANNERS, NOT COPYWRITERS
Let’s be honest:
Most wedding glossaries are written in 15 minutes by someone who has never attended a multicultural wedding. They define “Sangeet” as “a party” or “Nikah” as “a ceremony” and move on.
We went further. Every entry is layered with:
-
The cultural origin
-
Its modern evolution
-
What it means to families, couples, and guests
-
And how we, as planners, bring that word to life in Thailand
We included Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Western, Thai, Islamic, and Indian entries. We didn’t limit it to religious terms either — we included words like:
-
“Backdrop Design” (and why it’s not just decoration, it’s storytelling)
-
“Guest Journey” (and how it changes everything from mood to memory)
-
“Scent Design” (ever heard of personalized oud diffusers?)
It became something bigger than expected:
A mirror of the wedding world, told one letter at a time.
🟧 WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN A POST-UPDATE WORLD
If you’re a planner, photographer, or venue reading this — don’t panic because of the update.
Rejoice.
Because Google isn’t punishing creators. It’s punishing shortcuts.
If you create original content with deep insight and emotional clarity, your ranking won’t vanish. It’ll grow. You’ll see more time on page, more backlinks, more shares, and most importantly — more trust.
And no SEO tool can manufacture that.
So now that you understand what our wedding dictionary is and why it matters, let us give you a little taste…
✅ COMING UP IN PART 2:
We’ll take you through a few of our favorite letters from our A to Z Wedding World — with emotions, color, and a few surprises (because some of the best wedding terms… aren’t even real words).
And then in Part 3, we’ll show you why Thailand is the most diverse, romantic, and culturally rich wedding destination on Earth — and why SiamGuest.com, ThailandPlanner.com, and SiamPlanner.com are still ranking (and growing) even after the latest algorithm wave.

PART 2: A Love Letter to a Few Letters
There’s something beautiful about alphabetizing emotion.
When we created this dictionary, we weren’t looking for keywords — we were looking for meaning. What makes a word like “Haldi” feel warm? What makes “Procession” more than just a movement? Why does the word “Zaffa” sound like music even before you hear the drums?
This part of the article is not about showing you all 26 letters (that’s what the full dictionary is for).
This part is about giving you a taste. A teaser. A touch of the art.
We picked just a few letters below to show how much culture, creativity, and originality lives inside every wedding term. Some will make you smile. Others might make you cry. One might make you want to book your wedding in Thailand tonight.
Let’s begin.
A — Afterparty
Not just the chaos after the vows.
This is where the bride lets her hair down. Where aunties become DJs. Where sherwanis get swapped for shorts. The afterparty is not a line item — it’s a release. It’s proof that the wedding wasn’t just beautiful… it was personal.
Real Use: At one of our Koh Samui weddings, the afterparty lasted until sunrise on the beach — barefoot, starlit, and unforgettable.
C — Cultural Show
Not to be confused with “entertainment.” A cultural show is an education wrapped in joy. Thai long drum dancers, Indian Kathak performers, even Chinese lion dances — all curated with deep respect.
Planner Tip: We don’t just book performers. We learn from them. We explain what’s happening to the guests in the wedding app. That’s why people remember it.
F — First Look
This is a camera term, sure. But in real weddings?
It’s the pause before the storm.
A breath.
A glance.
A flash of intimacy before the public ceremony begins.
It’s also the most Googled wedding photo request of the last 5 years.
Bonus: In Thai weddings, we often have a first-look moment at sunrise, dressed in traditional Thai silk. Trust us — it’s poetic.
H — Haldi
Turmeric. Ritual. Joy.
But also: laughter, stains, chaos, cousins you forgot existed, aunties with aim, and a yellow blur of memory.
In Indian weddings in Thailand, Haldi becomes a color therapy session. We don’t just use yellow. We use mango leaves, marigold showers, and custom Haldi-inspired cocktails.
Dictionary Definition? Too limiting.
Emotion? Everything.
K — Kanjivaram, Kimono, Kurta, Khon…
We couldn’t pick just one “K.” So we didn’t.
Because weddings — especially in Thailand — aren’t limited to one culture.
Our glossary includes:
-
Kanjivaram silks (South Indian brides)
-
Kimonos for Japanese-style pre-ceremonies
-
Kurtas for Sangeet
-
Khon dancers (traditional Thai masked performance)
We spell out what each represents. But more importantly, we tell you why it matters.
N — Nikah
Not just a “Muslim wedding.”
It’s a contract rooted in divine intention, read aloud with witnesses and sealed with prayer and respect.
We explain the terms: Mehr, Qazi, Shahid, and the soft touch of Du’a. But we also go deeper into how Thai venues adapt to Islamic weddings — from halal catering to separate seating.
Thailand isn’t just a pretty backdrop. It’s a culturally accommodating canvas.
S — Scent Design
You weren’t expecting this one, were you?
Scent Design is our secret weapon. Personalized oud oils. Fragrance diffusers that match the couple’s story.
We’ve used jasmine for Thai weddings, sandalwood for Indian ones, and even vanilla-rose blends for Western garden weddings.
Because years from now, when the couple walks by that same scent… the memory will hit like music.
T — Thai Water Ceremony (Rod Nam Sang)
A ritual where guests gently pour holy water over the couple’s hands, wishing blessings.
It’s silent. Sacred. Simple. And oddly powerful.
Even non-Thai couples fall in love with this moment. We’ve translated it, explained it, and reimagined it with global couples while keeping its spirit intact.
That’s what good planning is — translation, not imitation.
Z — Zaffa
If you’ve never seen an Arabic Zaffa, let us paint it:
Drums.
Swords.
Singers.
A groom dancing like he’s entering a kingdom, not a ballroom.
We’ve orchestrated Zaffas in Bangkok ballrooms, by Phuket beaches, and even in private villas. The word means entrance.
But what it really means?
Majestic love.
Want More?
This was just a taste of the full A to Z.

Part 3: From Dictionary to Destination — Where the Words Come to Life
Turning Language Into Legacy
We didn’t just build a dictionary.
We built a philosophy.
Every letter in our A to Z represents more than a wedding term — it represents a decision. The decision to treat weddings not as transactions, but as transformative art. The choice to say no to templates, and yes to tailor-made love stories. The commitment to serve not just a client, but their families, histories, rituals, and futures.
And that’s exactly what you get when you choose Siam Planner Co., Ltd.
