Weddings in India are famous for grand ceremonies such as barat, sangeet, mehendi, haldi, amazing food, etc.
However, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many weddings have been postponed.
However now due to the COVID outbreak, some people performed wedding rituals through video conferencing.
Some organized the wedding with only a few family members of the bride and groom.
Whereas some got married at home or in their buildings.
Grand wedding are not possible now.
Some wedding planners have said that
now smaller weddings are a must, because the government has ordered only 50 guests at the function.
After the lockdown and the COVID – 19, weddings will need sanitizing, masks etc.
But that should not lessen the fun of the occasion and the enjoyment should be the same.
People just have to follow social distancing rules and be safe.
Now wearing masks has become a style statement.
Brides and grooms are matching the masks to their outfits.
Even guests are doing the same.
Masks have become a fashion statement now!
Now it will not be possible to have a destination wedding or weddings at a resort,
because of the spread of COVID-19.
Hotels, banquet halls, etc are entering into agreements with clients which make social distancing compulsory.
However only limited guests are allowed.
Many are also keeping gaps between two bookings
so that after the wedding, the venue and rooms can be sanitized.
After this the next event can be held.
Again only limited guests.
People whose earlier budget was Rs 15-20 lakh
are now spending only around Rs 5-6 lakh for these smaller weddings.
Some wedding planners are not encouraging any weddings till November or December.
They suggest that local weddings should be around November-December 2020
and international weddings around March 2021.
