How Corona Has Changed the Way People Wed in India

Indian weddings are synonymous to umpteen rituals, spectacular decorations, a delectable spread of cuisines and a huge number of guest list. But all this has been put on hold due to the coronavirus breakdown. Now, with little opening up, weddings are able to see the light of the day. Couples are choosing to swap their big fat weddings into a small intimate affair. So, can we say that this will be the new normal?

Pandemic Takes A Toll on Wedding Industry

The wedding industry comprises of not only two people or families, but a chunk of people and businesses also, who are running their bread and butter with these wedding preparations and ceremonies. Various vendors, event planners, decorators, caterers, hotels etc. are dependent on these weddings for their business and prosperity. But with coronavirus hitting the complete industry, these businesses are bearing the brunt by losing on numerous assignments and projects. To successfully incorporate them in today’s guided wedding ceremonies, there are certain steps one needs to follow.  

Also, with the pandemic and various restrictions, let’s see what steps should be taken by all to enjoy weddings safely and securely.

  • Skip A Few Functions: Amid the rising fear of getting affected, people are taking necessary precautions to travel and are staying indoors to restrict themselves from attending functions that are not absolutely necessary. Therefore, rather than witnessing a no-show for most events, its better to skip a few functions for the safety of the guests, as well as you. Also, managing so many functions with necessary precautions and guidelines can be a bit tiresome and gruelling. Thus, a wedding with limited guests will be an ideal event at such times.

  • Strict Measures to Be Taken: In hosting an event amid the rising virus, everyone needs to work together and take their own precautions and be responsible. The other measures that need to be taken are:
    • Vendors to be medically assured of the safety from the virus
    • Encourage everyone to wear masks and maintain social distancing at all times
    • Ensure that the hotel room and venues are properly sanitised as per the WHO guidelines

  • The Show Must Go On: To organise a wedding in this pandemic, following tips should be catered to for successful outcome.
    • Be mindful of the venue
    • Keep the guest list low and events as intimate as possible
