IT’S A WRAP!
Although the wedding season is an all year round event, here’s a quick recap of the new trends that were highlighted in 2022.
Known for their lovely chaos, Indian weddings are richer in terms of colours, laughing, music, and the lingering perfume of food. Ask specialists in the field, though, and they will confirm that there are procedures you must follow to guarantee a flawless wedding day. And all of this is done without forgoing trendy activities that will ensure that your guests are still talking about the day even after the wedding wishes have stopped.
VIRTUAL WEDDING INVITATION CARDS
Definitely the easiest and most needed new trend – E-Invites. Gone are the days when people used to spend days deciding on the wedding card, the vendor. Then the whole drill of picking up the cards from the vendor. Going on a whole adventure of meeting Rishtedars from all over India and personally inviting them for weddings. In the neo tech era, it’s much simpler, one phone and one Whatsapp E-invite. Wedding invitation message can be easily personalised on e-invites.
ECO-FRIENDLY CUTLERY
Food is one of the most important and special parts of your wedding celebration. Without food, Indian weddings would not exist. As more couples choose distinctive meals and personalized options, they also opt for compostable plates and spoons.
Selecting foods or ideas that are particularly important to your love story, such as your first date, first anniversary, favorite restaurants, or special memories. It has also become important to factor in the environmental impact. Eco-friendly cutlery not only gives your wedding a unique touch, but it also leaves a lasting impact on your visitors.
COLOUR SCHEMES
Be it your wedding lehengas, shararas, or wedding stage decorations, mandap setups, colour schemes has become the new fashion call. Making sure every guest and the wedding setup has a colour coordinated purpose. Colours are nowadays necessary for creative pre wedding shoots.
MORE DAYTIME WEDDINGS
Iconic wedding backgrounds and sun-kissed pictures have become a rising trend thanks to celebrity weddings. Alia Bhatt wedding, Katrina Kaif Vicky Kaushal wedding, Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar, Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, and many more.
The beautiful orange and yellow hued natural sky, Instagram worthy pictures have garnered a lot of attention from all young couples. Daytime weddings have better ambience and warm tones which widens the décor options.
SYSTEMATIC GUEST LISTS
Despite slowly staggering into the era of extravagant weddings, many couples have started shrinking their guest lists. Even though most wedding venues have relaxed their guest policies, families and couples still choose the convenience and hassle-free enjoyment of smaller gatherings with their closest friends and family members. Exclusive, carefully selected guest lists not only make events feel more intimate and special, but they also free up funds for your ideal location or attire, original entertainment, or other needs.
CLOSE-KNIT CEREMONIES
Big Fat Indian Wedding is taking a step back as more young people are focusing on closer connections and happy intimate weddings. Intimate celebrations are preferred rather than hectic large affairs and formalities. This trend has especially become popular after the pandemic.
Couples and families are choosing smaller, more personal gatherings where they may spend more money on a higher quality experience and less on putting on a show. The event will be more unforgettable for you and your loved ones if minor touches like personalization and distinctive tweaks are paid attention to.
EASY VENUE BOOKING
Earlier couples used to rush to book their preferred wedding planners, designers, decorators, or caterers a full year before the big day. The emphasis today is on venue booking sites that make planning simple and provide access to their own unique network of partners that are simple to contact, advise, and book. As a result, preparation time is drastically reduced, allowing you to spend more time with your loved one before things get really busy.
ITC Grand Bharat
