How Indian Weddings Are Changing
2
  • Indian weddings have changed a lot in recent
    years, with much more money being spent on them
    and with elaborate ceremonies involving numerous
    rituals that bride and groom must perform. Guest
    lists are becoming increasingly long, and in
    general, weddings are far more lavish and costly
    than they ever were before.
  • Arranged marriages versus love marriages
  • Arranged marriages have been customary in Indian
    culture throughout the ages, and were first
    designed to help maintain and pass on family
    traditions down the generations.

  • While still customary and prevalent in many rural
    areas of India, and indeed some urban parts, too,
    peoples ideals are slowly changing. Slowly being
    the operative word, though, as many people
    struggle with such a new concept that goes
    against Indian tradition.
  • Mixed caste and mixed religion marriages
  • Until relatively recently, marrying a person who
    did not belong to the same caste as you, or who
    followed a different religion, was strictly out
    of bounds. Modern Indian society and its
    increasing social awareness however, has seen
    more people marrying outside of their caste or
    religion.

  • Wedding outfits
  • Wedding attire has also seen many changes over
    the years, with brides and grooms no longer
    restricted to traditional dress relevant to their
    religion, region or community. Nowadays, while
    traditional clothing is still worn during the
    most important of the ceremonies, other rituals
    may see the bride and groom wearing attire of
    their own personal choice. Changing fashions have
    played a role in this progression, and affluent
    brides and grooms may even hire fashion designers
    to choose their outfits for them. High profile
    weddings of business tycoons and Bollywood stars
    have inspired many to follow their trends, and
    weddings are more about looking like a celebrity,
    than conforming to religious or other norms.

  • Wedding planning
  • Wedding planning, including the engagement
    process and events, used to be the sole
    responsibility of the brides family, and the
    venue was chosen and decorated by the family
    alone. The cost of the wedding was also met by
    the brides parents, something which still
    happens today, but more people are now hiring
    professionals to make wedding arrangements for
    them and plan the entire event. This is seen more
    and more in the upper middle-class section of
    society, who want their weddings to be the talk
    of the town and an utterly extravagant affairand
    why not?!

  • To ensure that your wedding is the talk of the
    town as it so rightfully should be, you should
    consider hiring the services of an event planning
    company. They will organize every aspect to
    ensure that it goes smoothly, and will guarantee
    that your wedding will reflect everything that
    you want it to. Whether yours will be a
    traditional or more modern wedding, let them take
    the stress out of organizing it, so that you and
    your family can focus on celebrating the marriage
    of two of their most cherished family members!
