The Big, Fat, Indian Wedding
Post-covid, weddings are getting bigger and fancier. Families are increasingly going for big, fat, Indian weddings with large setups, grand decor, themed events, and plenty of entertainment.
Fusion of Modern and Traditional
While the Big, Fat, Indian Weddings are in, couples don’t want to go completely traditional. They are looking for a mixture of Indian traditions and modern elements to make the wedding more in tune with their sensibilities. This also tends to make the ceremonies easier to execute and more interesting with destination weddings.
Heritage Weddings
The statuesque beauty and grandeur of a bygone era can be very seductive. And Indians living abroad have definitely been seduced by India’s rich heritage. That’s why they are increasingly more interested in heritage properties and the old-fashioned look and feel of hotels that remind people of a time gone by. This also ties in with the concept of a Big, Indian Wedding
Destination Weddings
While not a new concept, destination weddings have picked up in popularity post covid. Couples are looking at new destinations, new experiences and countries that promise a unique experience, the more luxurious the better. A grand tour of Europe, a scenic jaunt through California’s wine country, a spectacular ceremony in the middle of gorgeous Dubai, or an exploration of the Peruvian countryside – destination weddings are perfect for those who love to explore new destinations and want their wedding to be different from the rest.
Statement décor
While not a new concept, destination weddings have picked up in popularity post covid. Couples are looking at new destinations, new experiences and countries that promise a unique experience. As an example, think of a specialty cocktail wall set up, one doesn't just cut out the frustrating rush but also adds to the decor. A place where your guests after taking a selfie can walk away with a drink in hand.
In conclusion, weddings in 2023 will still be a reflection of the couple's personality and preferences. The most crucial thing is for couples to design a day that reflects their own love story and creates memories that will last a lifetime, regardless of whether it is the Big, Fat, Indian wedding, Fusion of Modern and Traditional, Heritage Weddings, Destination Weddings, Statement décor. Whatever the fads, the couple's love and dedication to one another should always be the centre of attention.
