Soft Colours
Brides are moving away from bright and bold colours and going for soft hues, when it comes to bridal wear. More and more brides are opting for ‘Living Coral’ - the pantone colour of the year.
Eco Friendly
Couples are opting to go eco-friendly in all of their wedding details or some of them. Some want to ditch flowers and go for sustainable décor while others opt for eco-friendly favors and gifting options.
Personalised Elements
Couples are finding more ways to incorporate their personal story into their weddings. Through bridal lehengas, décor, mehendi, favors and even caricature style wedding invites, everything has a personalised touch.

Off Beat Destination Weddings
Though Rajasthan weddings are still a hit, couple’s want offbeat destinations like Mussorrie or even Andaman.

Intimate Weddings
We are seeing couples saying yes to more intimate weddings instead of a guest list of 1000+ people. Intimate weddings mean that you can spend more time and money on your guests instead of a diluted environment.
Guest Experience
Make your wedding interactive and more memorable and entertaining for your guests instead of having 10 cuisines in your reception menu. This way your guests will have more fun and in turn, so will you.
Raw and Candid Photography
More couples want raw, unedited shots instead of editorial styled shoots of their wedding day. That way they can be less conscious about how the pictures are being shot and have a blast!

Welcome Bags
Instead of cramming a million packets of cookies and juice packs in welcome bags, ditch them. Most guests leave them behind or even trash them. Instead, consider giving a nice bottle of wine and a handwritten note, or making a donation to your favourite local charity in the guest’s names honour.
Order of functions
Instead of going the same mehendi-sangeet-wedding-reception route, you can mix up things. You can have a welcome cocktail party or a crazy cocktail party after the wedding day!
Foot Long Mehendis
Many brides are saying no to mehendis that take 6-7 hours to apply. Brides want to relax and have fun. Check these brides who said yes to minimal mehendis!

Photo Booths
Say no to those cycle and frame-hanging photo booths! While photo-booths can still be a great addition to your wedding, think of going creative!
Over The Top Food Counters
To avoid wasting food, more couples are ditching "over-the-top" edible displays. Instead have finger food and starters that guests like to nibble on. Lot of weddings will also see inclusion of vegan options for their guests.

Traditional Settings
Weddings are becoming more fun instead of just traditional functions. Couples are saying yes to mix cultural settings, intimate parties and more personalised wedding details.
Monogramming Everything
Stop overusing your wedding monogram. If you are using a monogram, it’s important to do so sparingly and not at every touch point of the day. Keep the dance floor simple, and save your monogram for the invitation instead
