HIGH DRAMA, LOW COST

The year 2020 has been one of enormous changeand the way in which weddings are being celebrated has also shifted. Along with following strict protocols on social distancing, there's a keen focus on the practical use of resources. Enter, the wedding that’s kind to your budget, yet grand in impact. We’re talking smaller guest lists, smart décor alternatives, and spending wisely on what truly matters to you. And three expert planners share insider advice on how you can host functions that score high on luxury without burning a hole in your pocket.

MAKE THE CUT

“Weddings are costly in India because of the number of people we invite. This has a rollover effect on everything from the venue to the décor, food, gifting, and hospitality,” says Delhi-based Anika Dhawan, founder of celebrity wedding design and gifting company Rani Pink. (They worked on Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s wedding in 2018).
