Bengaluru, Jun 8: Amid the relaxations in the coronavirus-induced lockdown, wedding planners are adapting to changing times and advancing themselves to provide best possible services to their clients.
Wedding planners come up with new trends. While women are matching their masks to their outfits, men who use turban for a wedding are wearing matching masks with the turbans. People are getting creative at the same time maintaining safety protocols. The live streaming of weddings for those who could not attend the wedding is also becoming a new normal.
Manisha Porwal Chouraria, a wedding planner at Color Palette Productions speaking to news agency said that Post COVID-19, weddings are performed as per the old cultures.
"Wedding Industry has impacted due to lockdown in the wake of COVID-19. Now, the concept of micro-wedding is trending in which you have guests who are close to you. Now, the old culture is back again as people who use to hold a wedding at lavish destinations are getting married in their lawns, farmhouses, terraces. Earlier, people used to get married in their 'Aangan' (Courtyard), people seem to be doing the same now. It is more personalised and expenses have come down, now. People are spending small amounts on decoration," said Chouraria.
"Following government guidelines, we are allowing 50 people at the wedding and not more than that. We are doing live streaming telecast and people can watch the wedding. We are also shipping gift boxes with a letter to 500 people who could not become part of the wedding. In the letter, we are writing that because of norms, you may not be invited but we want something to gift you on our wedding. People are planning to get married now and decide to throw a grand reception after 6 months in the hope that things will get better," she added.
Commenting upon how wedding planners are ensuring social distancing and how the fashion style changed due to pandemic, Chouraria said: "People are using matching masks. If women are wearing silk sarees, they are also wearing silk masks. Men are wearing matching masks with saafa (turban). The entire staff is asked to wear PPE kits. We are giving the guests a healthy kit comprising up of masks, sanitisers, gloves and tissues. We are doing thermal screening of the guests. We are also gifting cuddle curtains, a plastic transparent shield by using which you can touch feet of elders without physically touching them."
Mansi Porwal, Creative Head at Color Palette Productions said that it is becoming a challenging task for creative heads to plan wedding but still they are providing their best to the clients.
"Earlier people used to do theme wedding, big Indian Fat weddings. Now people are wedding with a small gathering. Now, family members are getting time to suggest the wedding planners about themes and the thing they want in their weddings. We are providing the best," she said.
"We have come up with a new theme, 'Har Din Subh hai' which means every day is auspicious. Post COVID-19 people are looking for available dates for the wedding. Now, every day becomes auspicious. This is going to be the new trend," she added.
Another wedding planner, Abhilash of Taarini Weddings said that their company is providing customised masks to guests.
"Earlier we have lots of weddings to cover across the globe. But now, we have less numbers of weddings. Budgets are reduced now. We are happy to start again. We are creating e-invites in which we are sending the guidelines to the guests. We also have a help desk to assist the clients and guests. We are providing the matching masks to the groom and we are also giving customized masks to guests too," he said.
Earlier, Karnataka's Department of Health and Family Welfare Services had issued an advisory for marriages, stating that not more than 50 guests shall be allowed and the consumption of liquor on the occasion will be prohibited.
As per the advisory, anyone found having fever, cold, cough, difficulty in breathing shall not be permitted to attend the event and immediately referred to seek medical advice.
"All persons shall wear face mask compulsorily. All persons shall maintain a physical distance of more than one metre. Hand wash with soap and water shall be provided in washrooms," adds the advisory.

Rasheeda can wear bikini in summer season it's best for you, like uncovered chocolate
In Islam TALAK(divorce) is not easy way. For Talak(divorce) should be pass from 3 stage. that's called 3 TALAK.
Some Muslims and Non Muslims thinking that, one who telling at a time 3 TALAK, TALAK is over. It is again shariya(LAW) and they donot fear Allah(s).
Muslim cannot give TALAK for simple issue. Allah(s) will punish those who are giving TALAK for simple issue and those who not follow correct way of TALAK.
Islam gives ways for couple who couldn't get together...In certain religion there is no such concept of divorce once they are married there is no way of separating till death ...In Islam talaq or divorce is discouraged...If the couple can't get together then it provide means to seperate through talaq...If once talaq is said it doesn't end in divorce in between there is way to reconcile,couples should try to keep aside their differences..Only if scuffle further continues then it is better way to get divorced rather than ending in violence..There is nothing called 3 talaqs in single setting..It is against the concept of talaq..There are people who misuse it..There is talaq and waiting time
For women there is concept of khula if the men doesn't look his wife well she can divorce him through Khula...
For those who comment with pseudoname on burkhah...Burkhah is not recommended...Islam only says cover your hair and body and be modest...If someone is unhappy they can go in khujrao style we are not forcing them..For men too there is hijab..I.e from top of navel till knee..Body of men and women are not the same.......Most of our women wear burkhah willfully..Not like a man forcing women and tying tali on her neck..which she has to carry the burden till her death
BCH & MCH .... Krishna polygamy? Venkatesha polygamy? I also polygamy. So what turkanna. Anything I am readyMCH. Rule must be same for all human beings.Every one who sticks to one God are fanatic MCH. so shut up.
Dear avinash, Your comments shows how ignorant you are. Please think and analyze. Hizab is required in public places not at home. This is for security and modesty of the women. Actually she is not suffering , the person who want to see her beauty or nudity is suffering. Please check the diffrence between the women who wear hijab and other with sari. In sari you can figure out everything about that women which usually men like you want. This is weakness of all the men.
Hijab also treats all the women at par. You can not differentiate her as white/ Black, rich or poor, what she wear costly one or cheaper one? I think hijab should applied for all the women irrespective of religion for the safety and modesty of the women.
Regarding Talaq & polygamy , We know , sometimes uncultured people misused and endangered to the life of muslim women .. but compared to misuse of human laws or any national laws , is misused very less ... even complaints by muslim women also very rare except some modern women by the influence any particular vested interests....
In a civil country , if anybody misused law , actions to be taken against them , banning it is not the solution...
Burkha , Hijab are the modest dress to pious people .. there is no compulsion to wear it , if you doesn't like , you may find , a lot muslims , who do not wear burkha or hijab... questioning others rights to wear is like..... I am prostitute ... demand for others also same....!
Now a days there is season of challenge done on Islamic rules ....
Good for NON MUSLIMS ... (Other wise there are some honest non muslims who are EAGER to know about the CREATOR, if such thing doesnt happen they will never know who is their TRUE creator)
Despite several reminders from Muslim leaders which they also quote from various religious scriptures that GOD is one and Worship him ALONE...
People are still not waking up for the message of ONE GOD. who created them and all that exists..
Now There are few leaders who challenge the GOD's law...
& We MUSLIMs expect that cos Prophet Muhammad pbuh said a Time will come when people dont know who is their CREATOR. and there will be many followers who will follow BLINDLY (Without even pondering HOW they Got this LIFE, What is the purpose of LIFE and living a life of UNAWARE)>>> It is happening infront of our EYES in the present age..
If we study sharia law.. We will never complaint on its wisdom.. But When the ignorant leaders make bow bow many who doesnt know or read about sharia law are all clapping the hand and queing up to jump in DARKNESS>>>
Study SHARIA LAW and know who is the CREATOR.
Know one thing GOD is most merciful... He gave many chances to Pharoah, the most evil person who tortured the people of MOOSA Pbuh during his time... We should read about his END
We should escape the END result... which will show the real MARKS whether you Passed or NOT.
Know the rule of the CREATOR and STop your following BLINDLY
Hmm.. Not Surprising, the Central Govt. Panel (moderated by VHP ) is keen on enforcing a law like this.
Dear Sanghis, remember the song in kannada - \ Naari ya Seere kadda, Radheya Manava Gedda, Kallara Kalla KRISHNANU..\" :-D
And they want ban on polygamy..What irony !!
With regards to muslim women asking for such law, we muslims wouldn't really have much of problem if the Govt. brings such law. We understand these women, as some men tend to take unfair advantage of the given Shariah Law. Infact, this law banning such Talaq, and polygamy, will make us more responsible of our community and discipline us.
Banning hijab, hmm don't even think of it. If these women don't want to wear, let them not be forced. and let them
also not enforce their thoughts on other women who want to wear Burkha/Hijab etc...
BTW, Can sanghis help me in identifying the names of these models in the architecture of Khujarao , Belur temples..."
Comment by so called Rasheeda looks doubtfull name. First of all there is no compulsion in islam. Any one need to follow the shariah of allah can follow ,if you need to follow satan you can do that. But always make the better choice for yourself. Choose paradise instead of hell, hell fire is much more more hotter than this worlds peak summer.
Make Islamic law a Indian law so that it will become uniform law. Since Hindus or Christians do not have any religious laws there should not be any problem for them to follow Islamic law. Hope Govt of India make Sharia law applicable to all Indian citizens. Please note Criminal Law is already applicable equally irrespective of their religion & Muslims do not have problem with that. 1400 years of research has been done on Islamic sharia law and is practical law unlike man made laws.
