Wedding Trends

Posted By  Event Planet

There's a quiet shift happening in Indian weddings right now, and it's hard to miss. Big fat weddings with 500 plus guests aren't going away, but more and more couples are choosing something smaller, warmer, and a lot more personal a wedding at home.

Celebrities have helped bring this trend into the spotlight. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar, and more recently Amir Khan and Gauri, Akansha Ranjan and filmmaker Sharan Sharma all chose intimate ceremonies at home, surrounded by their closest family and friends rather than the fanfare of a traditional large-scale wedding. When people who could book out five-star resorts choose their living room or backyard instead, it sends a powerful message, a wedding doesn't have to be big to be beautiful.

What Exactly Is a Home Intimate Wedding?

A home intimate wedding is simply what it sounds like, the ceremony and celebrations take place at the couple's home, or a close family member's home, instead of a banquet hall or destination venue. Guest lists usually stay under 50-100 people, sometimes even smaller. 

Couples are choosing this route for a mix of reasons. Some want a wedding that actually feels like their wedding, not a production managed by a hundred vendors and a packed schedule. Others are drawn to the comfort of familiar walls, the ability to include only the people who genuinely matter, and honestly, the relief of skipping the logistics of a massive event. There's also a practical side home weddings tend to be lighter on the pocket without feeling like a compromise.

If a home wedding feels like your kind of celebration, here’s a simple guide to the choices ahead, from your space and décor to outfits, food, and all the little details that will make the day uniquely yours.
