Destination Weddings in India
One thing is for sure, destination weddings will never go out of style. But what’s in style is destination weddings in India. PM Modi’s initiative with ‘Wed in India’ seems to have encouraged Indian couples to plan their destination weddings within the country, marking a positive contribution to the economy. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merhcant’s big fat pre-wedding celebration in Jamnagar set a prime example of Indian destinations being capable of providing the magnitude and grandeur of luxurious celebrations. Hotels and resorts are also coming up with new ideas and proposals to make the destinations more attractive to couples.
Open Air Venues in Nature
Being closer to nature is the goal, and it will be even bigger as one of the 2025 wedding trends. This year saw a lot of open-air wedding venues such as Pulkit Samrat and Kriti Kharbanda’s wedding at ITC Grand Bharat, Delhi or Keerthy Suresh and Antony Thattil’s wedding in St. Reggis Resort, Goa. These open-air venues are surrounded by lush greenery, and decorated with heavy floral arrangements and in-house lighting.
Sustainable Decoration and Local Flowers
Flowers are a classic decoration for Indian weddings, but 2025 wedding trends will see a surge in floral decor like never before. And this decoration is getting a sustainable touch with the inclusion of dried flowers as they are both long-lasting and eco-friendly. Also, locally sourced flowers are being used more to support local farmers and reduce carbon footprint.
Bold and Contrasting Colour Palettes
2025 wedding trends bring a lot of unconventional colour palettes. This year already saw a surge in pink and purple wedding decoration along with multicolour lehengas. Expect to see rich and bold colour palettes featuring contrasting hues next year. Jewel tones like deep blues, ruby red and emerald green will be in trend too. Pairing them with neutrals will create a fresh and unique look for weddings in 2025.
