5 wedding trends that we believe will be the key to make your wedding stand out in 2022. We hope to inspire you in organising the perfect wedding that you always wanted. Here are some wedding trends and suggestions that you might find useful:
1. It’s all about making it intimate and personal
Nothing is better than an intimate wedding celebration – creating beautiful memories with your close friends and family. Covid restrictions and limited guest lists are over, but intimate weddings have really been enjoyed by many brides and grooms as it has allowed a more personal way of celebrations.
Intimate weddings have taken personalisation to the next level, without adding substantial effort and cost. From custom signature cocktails designed by the bride and groom to specially curated food and dessert menus that represent the couple, intimate weddings are becoming so much more fun for the immediate family and friends. A smaller gathering means beautiful round tables for sit-down dinners, with personalised menus displayedbesides the carefully crafted centre pieces. The bar menu reads the bride’s favourite Apple Martini, the groom’s favourite Whiskey Sour, and maybe the mother-in-law’s favourite Virgin Mojito!
It’s unfortunate that intimate weddings make it difficult to invite many guests that you would love to celebrate with, but they allow the immediate families to get together and celebrate with the couple in a more relaxed and personal environment.
2. Choose Open Air Venues – Stay Safe!
Open air venues have become very popular – whether it’s your house terrace or garden, to your cousin’s farm house, or an outdoor space in a hotel. They allow for so many unique ways of decorating the space and adding a personal touch that reflects your style.
Plan a beautiful minimally designed mandap with seating all around for your family and close friends, and have them be a part of your wedding ceremony. Have beautiful fairy lights draped around the trees and plants for an evening dinner party or minimal flower decorations scattered across the space, round tables for a personal sit-down brunch, maybe plan 2 bars instead of 1 to avoid crowding (no one likes to wait for a drink!)
Whatever the theme you decide for your open air wedding, send out invites that best reflect your special day to give your guests a little peak into what lies ahead!

3. Live StreamYour Wedding for Guestswho can’t attend
Intimate weddings have made live streaming wedding ceremonies very popular especially when you have friends and family unable to attend.
Attending a friend’s wedding virtually isn’t the same as actually being there to celebrate with them.But this new live stream way is a greatideaallowing all guests to join in the celebrations and enjoy thefestivities from home.
To make the experience more realand festive for guests, some brides and grooms sent over shagun ki mithaai and sometimes even the whole wedding meal, to their guests so that they could be a part of the celebrations from afar. Imagine your guests receiving shaadi ke laddoo, along with delicious food and maybe some wine, and watching the wedding ceremony from their couches, maybe in their pajamas if they wish too! Of course, they would rather be there in person, but something is better than nothing!
And don’t forget about the invite! Even if you’re not planning to send physical invites, invite your guests digitally to join in virtually! Share a link in a beautifully designed e-card – It’s your special day afterall!

4. Theme Based Weddings – Go all out!
The importance of weddings have inspired families to organise beautiful thematic weddings to make the event even more special for the limited guests who are attending. Why not make the most of the situation and plan a more personalised wedding theme which otherwise would’ve been more difficult and costly to organise.
Tap into your personal style and go all out with a royal vintage theme wedding, or a simpler garden wedding surrounded with flowers and fairy lights. Design your own mandap with your favourite flowers, keep it as minimal or grand as you want! The possibilities are truly limitless.
Extend this enthusiasm by inviting your guests in style with elegantly designed cards that reflect your taste and aesthetic.

5. Bachelor / Bachelorette Parties are ON!
Bachelor and bachelorette partiesare all about close friends getting together and having a blast! There are buzzing bars and nightclubs but we still have house parties, friend’s farm houses – more intimate, less expensive, and most importantly – Safe!
Many brides and grooms have planned smart and celebrated with different groups of friends on different days, keeping the guest list limited. From one big party, to a couple of smaller chill scenes, this has only added to the fun and festivities leading up to the big day.
You must invite your friends in style – Send out e-cards with a personalised note and event details, to set the tone for the big night! Browse our Indian Wedding E-Cards collection.
6. Extended Celebrations – Split Guest Lists
Many families plan smart and split their guests across functions. From 1 or 2 big functions, to a couple of more smaller ones – this allowsbrides and grooms to celebrate with family and friends across groups.
With just immediate family and best friends at the wedding ceremony, to cousins and friends at the Mehendi Brunch, and a set of relatives and associates at the Cocktail Dinner, plan well and celebrate with all!
Intimate and fun, at the same time.
7. Share the joy, Send a Gift
Many of your nears and dears may not be able to attend your wedding, it would’ve been nice to have everyone celebrate together. Since some guests can only attend virtually, it has become popular to send a token gift to guests and make their virtual experience more real and festive.
To make the experience more real and festive for such guests, some brides and grooms sent over shagun ki mithaai and sometimes even the whole wedding meal, to their guests so that they could be a part of the celebrations from afar. Imagine your guests receiving shaadi ke laddoo, along with delicious food and maybe some wine, and watching the wedding ceremony from their couches, maybe in their pajamas if they wish too! Of course, they would rather be there in person, but something is better than nothing!
