The Indian wedding gets big and extravaganza


Red-carpet welcome, royal treatment, glasses of Champaign and caviar at the table, dozens of delicacies to hog on, soothing ambience, kids run helter skelter laughing- an ideal India wedding has all these components. And making this dream come true is not a difficult job now. 

With the market buzzing with wedding planners, the couple-to-be has a lot of choice to pick up the perfect theme and setting for their dream wedding. Earlier, the concept of wedding was associated with panic attacks to the bride’s family because there was so much to be done, so many people to attend to, a gathering to feed, decorations to do and gifts to purchase. In a way, it was the most crucial responsibility stressing out the hosts. 

But thanks to the advent of wedding planning trend, this auspicious occasion has become more fun rather than a hefty task. This trend started in the West and Indians took it up from there. Initially, only well to do people used to hire wedding planners, but now middle class too, with disposable income are opting for this.

The host can transfer most of the duties on the planners’ shoulders, who become the family’s closest aide in making the function a success. Since the trends keep evolving, many wedding planners are venturing into the post-matrimony affair too, ie the honeymoon. They help you select the destination or if you want to go for a theme wedding say at a beach or in a villa or at a palace in Rajasthan, they’ll make it possible.
