Changing Trends -Weddings in Kerala

Kerala weddings have evolved considerably over the years. And so has wedding planning!

These days, the bride and bridegroom are the decision makers. They are constantly updated with trends from across the globe through social media and the internet. Wedding planners constantly research how ceremonies take place in different parts of the globe. These ideas are then inculcated into the event.

Wedding planners suggest small and intimate functions, which can deliver an ‘experience’ for the guests. Such functions also prevent wastage of food and resources. Reception parties are often planned for the evenings where entertainment is mixed with food and drink during the event. These entertainment options can range from live band performances to gazals to sufi dancers to dramatic entry sequences. Activities such as mehendi and caricature also engage the guests.

Nowadays, the bride and bridegroom are selective about the type of materials used in their wedding. With regard to colour combination and flowers for the decor, the bride and groom have their own preferences. In consultation with a wedding planner, they can choose what best suits their tastes. The wedding planners have evolved into ‘consultants’ to whom the clients can go to for advice and ideas on planning the function. They can suggest numerous options, which are cost-effective and elegant.

The Wedding Experience

People prefer five-star  properties  and convention centres for engagements and ceremonies. These properties have great ambiance that will deliver a wonderful ‘wedding experience’ for the guests. Out-bound accommodations and booking are also becoming common in Kerala.

The bride and bridegroom have a cinematic approach towards the event. Dramatic elements such as dhol and entry on elephants are used extensively at these days. The couple is comfortable doing pre-wedding photoshoots which often get converted into wedding ‘movies’ – another in-thing! Often, a story and stunning visuals of the couple are wired into a short 2-3 minute movie and circulated widely over the internet and social media.

With weddings in Kerala becoming more and more organized, a greater support and assistance is required for the bride and groom and this is provided by wedding planners.
