The Big Fat Indian Wedding concept has been nullified! All the credit goes to the unfortunate pandemic that hit the globe last year. Many couples have postponed their wedding due to covid. However, some couples are ready to take the plunge amid covid. Since there is a restriction on the number of guests, couples are hosting small and intimate weddings. No matter how unconventional it may sound, but small weddings have their charm! Moreover, decorators are transforming the gardens and homes into something majestic. Therefore, if you are also looking forward to hosting an intimate wedding, here we have listed some tips that would help you:
- GUEST LIST
Since the pandemic has not ended yet, you must cut short your guest list and keep it relatively minimal. Only sent invitations to immediate relatives on both sides. Please make certain precautions like hand sanitizers are available at every table and the wedding venue entrance. You can do a bit more and make customized face masks for everyone to encourage everyone to wear masks at the wedding.
- MAKE UP YOUR MIND
There are so many options out there on the internet about the colours, outfits, and decor. Don’t get confused, and make a properly organized list of each section. This planned drafting would allow you to simplify options and help with further budgeting.
- PICK THE RIGHT DECORATOR
It is not just enough to talk to the decorator on the phone and book them for the wedding! Please reach out to decorators personally and enquire about their previous wedding executions. Explain briefly about your vision and how you want things in a particular manner. Discuss the space at home and what material they are planning to use. After discussing everything, please talk about the budget and then hire them!
- START CHOOSING OUTFITS VIRTUALLY
Designers are up on their toes to offer you your dream bridal lehenga on your day! If you don’t need to step out from your home, the meeting can be done virtually. Discuss the designs, appropriate colors, and discounts on your bridal outfit briefly.
- BUDGET PLANNING
To begin with, you need to acknowledge what kind of wedding you want. A small tight low budget wedding or lavish wedding with a limited number of people. Once you identify this, it would be easier for you to break down the budget. Plan the budget on a micro level, for instance- how much would you spend on the venue, alcohol, etc. Identify these factors; then, it would be easy to recognize what can be eliminated.
