In India a wedding is associated with social obligation, kinship bond, moral value and huge finances. The Indian social dynamics at work reveal themselves when it is conducted. But wedding trends have evolved with time.
The traditional wedding affair which involved family and community participation for weeks on end, has given way to quainter and more personalized ways of celebration of romance. More prominently, it has taken on the shape of a get together for friends and family, the spirit of a great time. Weddings here from time immemorial have been elaborate affairs.
The tasteful and the classy, the original and the distinct have replaced the ostentatious and the garish. Sure enough, the emphasis is on quality over quantity.
Fine-tuning the earlier concept to a different level, the modern wedding lauds attention to detail, a preference for the exotic and creating memories for a lifetime. Sure enough, a professionally handled planned function meets the criteria. The reassuring presence of a wedding planner in the midst of it will ensure your wedding is a special and memorable event with delightful menus or buffets, great selections of table linen, chair covers, draping, lighting, centrepieces and colour themes, white silk ceiling draping, dance floor, guest invitations and place cards etc.
The aim is to captivate the wedding guests with breathtaking wedding décor, artistic floral arrangements, and perfect table arrangements and finally a fabulous party that has your personal mark on it. Shine, shimmer and sparkle rule. Today’s set designs replicate forts and palaces, Bollywood settings of a dream sequence and architectural marvels. The traditional mandaps with puja flowers like marigolds and roses are out.
The contemporary urban Indian culture reveals an ongoing cultural shift with a leaning towards modern urban notions and arrangements.

Locale matters

Cut to a location like a farmhouse, a more exotic location away from the city, an exotic palace and a beachside location all over the world.
Destination weddings are pretty much the norm now. The meticulous planning shows. Care is taken that there are no loose ends, so planning starts months in advance.
The bride and groom do not mind a tuck and trim job especially for this, and showcase the most regal sartorial creations. Your guests will take back huge memories of a grand ceremony.
The grandeur is recreated in different ways, though, sometimes with themes that reflect the weddings of the past. The recent years especially have shown a trend towards bespoke wedding events, which accommodate 200 to 300 people.

While earlier weddings boasted of the trappings of five star hotels, a heavy designer lehenga/suit and chunky jewellery with fancy invites, today’s weddings are much smaller but the execution has scale.
