WHY INDIAN WEDDING VENUES ARE GAINING POPULARITY AMOUNG COUPLES

Hello, Everyone!

India, a country that believes in Unity in diversity with its beauty of cultural richness and splendid picturesque locations is gravitating couples towards itself to opt Indian destinations as their dream wedding spot. For Indians, a wedding is no less than a festival which holds 3-4 days of rituals, and festivities with a setting for beautiful clothes and colorful aromatic sweets.

 

Also, Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi also has urged rich families to opt for India as their wedding destination rather than opting for an International destination in the latest episode of “Mann Ki Baat”. Aligning with the “Vocal For Local “Initiative he further said that this would help keep the nation’s wealth within its borders and he also appealed for purchasing Indian goods and endorsing Indian-made goods which would help boost the nation’s economy. Indian wedding planners and vendors are enthused with joy and hail PM Narendra Modi’s appeal to Indians which they feel is not only in tandem with the “Make In India “vision but also helps promote Indian craftsmanship and tapestry.

Indian Artisans are a cornerstone of India’s rural economy who with their unique art and indigenous crafts glorifies the nation’s aesthetic sense and ancient art. Domestic weddings involve various rituals and ceremonies with exclusive requirements. Opting for a domestic wedding will help generate employment opportunities among broader sectors. A wide variety of artists, craftsmen, event planners, and decorators, will benefit from such a move. 

Another reason why domestic weddings are convenient and practical is hosting a wedding at an overseas location includes various challenges. First is the cultural difference, then next is language barriers, another is working style and pace, and dealing with logistical intricacies are only a few of the undeniable hurdles. The style and production needed for an Indian wedding are not readily available outside, requiring custom creation or purchase which in turn leads to higher costs . Stats reveal that only 10 to 20 percent of India’s affluent families opt for a destination wedding from which only 10 to 15 percent go overseas. This implies that many more grand Indian weddings are being held at domestic locations.

There is no scarcity of options in India. Popular locations in India include Rajasthan, Goa, and Himachal Pradesh to name a few.

Rajasthan is known for its historical hill forts and palaces; it is considered the best option for weddings related to palaces. One such option is the Umed Bhawan Palace, claimed to be the largest palace in Rajasthan. It is also one of the largest private residences in the world. Bollywood celebs also have chosen Rajasthan as their wedding venue for their D-Day. One example is when Veteran Actor Katrina Kaif tied the knot with versatile actor Vicky Kaushal in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan. Another example of a celeb wedding in Rajasthan is when veteran actor Priyanka Chopra opted for Jodhpur, Rajasthan as her wedding destination.

Another popular location for a destination wedding is Goa which is known for spectacular beaches and magnificent coastline. The wedding here will be a fairytale one.

What about some picturesque landscapes and serene hill stations which are truly breathtaking and majestic wedding destinations which “The land of Gods”: Devabhumi- Himachal Pradesh has in itself.
