# Wedding Scene Art

I built a one‑page wedding invitation site for “Isha weds Shubhanshu” using TypeScript, Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, Tailwind v4 and `motion` for animation, hosted in a GitHub repo under @sarthaksingh17.

- Key repo structure:

I import the five main visuals (two hero backdrops, Ganesha, envelope, couple) in `lib/wedding.ts` so Next.js generates content‑hashed URLs, which prevents stale caching when the files change.

```
import heroDesktop from "../public/art/hero-desktop.png";
import heroMobile from "../public/art/hero-mobile.png";
// other imports…
```


The hero desktop image is exactly 775 × 644 px; it is up‑scaled on large screens and has a dark top strip hidden by a small scale‑up in `Hero.tsx`.

The hero mobile image is a 7 MB PNG; `next/image` re‑encodes it at request time, but a leaner source would improve first‑paint performance on phones.

Path‑referenced art is served through `/_next/image` and cached on disk in `.next/cache/images` keyed on (URL, width, quality) with a four‑hour TTL; swapping a file under the same name will not update the cache until it expires or the `.next` folder is cleared.

The Haldi function currently uses a cropped Mehendi panorama (`public/art/bg-haldi.jpg`) with a turmeric scrim; no dedicated Haldi illustration exists yet.

If I need to replace any visual, I drop a new file with the same name into `public/art/` and rebuild; for path‑referenced images I also clear `.next` and hard‑reload.

- `lib/wedding.ts` stores all copy, dates, colours and image paths.
- `lib/scenes.ts` defines scene backdrops and floating props for each function, with separate mobile and desktop lists.
- `app/page.tsx` holds the envelope‑open state and assembles sections.
- `components/` contains one file per section (scratch card, countdown, petals, etc.).
- Images live in `public/art/` and raw artwork folders (`Assets/`, `South Asian Wedding Invitation UI/`) are git‑ignored to keep the repo ~90 MB lighter.
