Welcome the year of intimate weddings – ditching the big fat Indian extravaganza, hello backyard celebrations!
The pandemic brought about a shift in the world like we’ve never seen before, even to our everyday little things. And while these changes have been a challenge for the most part, some changes have actually taught us new ways of doing old things better. Weddings are one such facet, especially in the South Asian community. Our weddings are known to be a grand spectacle of multiple ceremonies and myriad little rituals, but the popularity of small intimate weddings grew during the pandemic and thankfully, is still on the up.
Here are some of the ways couples have celebrated their micro-weddings that felt like a breath of fresh air!
Familiar Places: Bidding adieu to the days of banquet halls and lavish palaces – today's couples are opting for intimate settings that reflect their personal style and connection. Remember Ranbir and Alia getting hitched in their own condo? Places with character like quaint gardens, rustic barns, radiant greenhouses, and good ‘ol sun-kissed beaches have been a popular choice among young couples for exchanging vows and creating memories of a lifetime. These idyllic locales provide the perfect canvas for couples to craft a wedding day that feels like a romantic escape in contrast to overwhelming celebrations.
Enchanting Party Themes: The idea behind small, intimate weddings is to shift the focus away from extravagant themes and elaborate guest lists, and more towards personalized ideas that reflect the couple's shared interests and passions. Whether it be a whimsical garden party, a backyard soiree, or a cozy fireside gathering, each element of the celebration is carefully curated to create an atmosphere of absolute warmth and harmony. Even the guest list is curated to include only the closest of the family whose presence would make this celebration of love feel complete.
Simplistic Wedding Wear:Keeping in tune with the intimate vibe, wedding attire choices have also taken a turn from heavy traditional pieces to more minimalistic sets with an elegant allure. Brides have been opting for sophisticated silhouettes with delicate fabrics, and modern embellishments that still feel like an heirloom ensemble. Experiments with colors like rust orange, or bougainvillea pink are increasingly picked over traditional reds. The grooms are also seen donning simplistic sherwanis with subtle bling or just tailored suits that exude effortless charm and sophistication. Customization of wedding ensembles is on the rise, and we have been acing the field here since years. It's all about embracing a relaxed and authentic style that feels true to the couples and we’re here to provide just that.

Soft and Serene Decorations:Last but certainly not the least, when it comes to decorations, less is always more in the world of intimate weddings. We’ve gone from bright backdrops, and in-the-face flower settings to soft, muted hues and well-paired textures that create a tranquil, inviting ambiance for the guests. We’re talking single-toned cascading floral arrangements, whimsical candlelight and disco balls, and soft toned fairy lights that seemingly dance in the evening breeze. These subtle touches add an air of romance and intimacy to the celebration, elevating it to a truly unforgettable experience.
There is no doubt that large extravagant weddings are always here to stay, but just maybe, these small intimate weddings will bring about a new generation of ideas that make weddings an incredible journey to experience, one Pinterest board at a time.
