How the Best Indian Wedding Planners Adapt to Changing traditions and modern trends

The Great Indian Wedding is already one in the history books. Everyone knows of the pomp and the gamlour, the rituals, the culture and the whole sentimentality of it that follows. It is no hidden fact that the wedding industry is huge and has its own impact. Or as may be apt for today, “influence”. Thanks to social media and the general increase in awareness among people, everyone is craving for that ‘Fairytale wedding’. This makes the industry highly competitive. Wedding planners need to be up to date with the industry and its changing trends if you want to last in the race. Here are a few points which we, your trusted wedding planners in kolkata today are learning to adapt and change to –

Big Indian wedding or a close knit ceremony?

The new generation of brides and grooms is here. The millennials and the Gen Z have come in with their own wave and style. Many couples nowadays are looking forward to keeping the wedding more cosy and sentimental with a close knit guest list instead of making it a treat for the whole town. We strive to give you the “close friends only” experience without setting off any alarm bells for the relatives. As it can always get tricky, we are also prepared to take it from small to accommodating the guests of guests and relatives at any time.

Demanding wedding “Themes and palettes”

Nowadays everyone wants their wedding to be special. And ‘stand out’. But what does standing out mean? Is it the celebrity pastel and floral trend or is it the vintage ‘my mom wore this for her wedding’ kind? Also, the theme of the wedding is what decides the flower arrangements, the table pieces, centrepieces and even the wedding mandaps. We have a clear discussion with our brides and grooms. We can also show you the wedding moodboards to help you understand better..

Pre and post wedding planning

Our Indian wedding is never ‘one day and done’. Thanks to our rich culture we have a good amount of rituals set which cannot be skipped. But we know that with changing time, new rituals come up. ‘Pre-wedding photo and video shoots’, ‘post wedding family pictures’ and even ‘pre and post wedding bridal/groom party getaways and dinners’ are a thing now. Some couples want to splurge on these ceremonies and keep the main wedding small, or have everything squeezed into one. Also not all couples are following the bride and groom stay separate till the wedding rule. Some weddings even have the Haldi and Mehendi ceremony with the couple sitting together. Our responsibility is to manage all this within the budget.

Everything needs to be customised

The Bride and Grooms nowadays want their wedding to leave a mark on all their guests. From customised centrepieces with their names to a separate social media hashtag being created only for them, and ofcourse, all the return gifts need to carry a piece of them. We find authentic small businesses that do such custom prints on a budget.

The D-Day live events.

The main wedding ceremony is not just the rituals and guests anymore. New trends like ‘live bride and groom wedding paintings’ ‘Guest caricatures’ ‘live customised playlist music for the bride and groom’ ‘special family performances and toasts’ are becoming popular too. Of Course not forgetting the food. All of this is to make the wedding more memorable. To both the couple and the guests.

As you can see weddings have gone through many transitions. With every new trend, another hat keeps adding up to the wedding planners already filled hands. But all in all, it just comes down to getting your expectations right.
