All the Wardrobe Inspiration You Need for Your Intimate Wedding

The warmth and closeness that intimate weddings contain are mesmerising. While intimate weddings were a choice made by the couples until February 2020, the post-COVID-19 period will see an undue rise in the number of intimate weddings owing to the government rules and regulations. The pandemic that led to the lockdown throughout the country has affected the trends in the wedding industry in several ways - one being the types of small weddings that are happening now.

The experts are now guiding the couples on how to host a post-pandemic wedding while abiding by the safety requirements laid down by the authorities. Many couples have postponed their wedding and send out their Change The Date cards until the situation starts looking promising, while the others took their leap of faith and celebrated their love even in these testing times. The stories of the lockdown Weddings in The Times of Corona are not only enthralling but inspirational and might even be the future of weddings.

While the new normal in the wedding industry shifts to intimate weddings, the cap of approximately 50 guests attending a wedding has made many couples choose an intimate wedding by default too. Couples have picked day weddings and have even downsized their guest lists to ensure that the curve is flattened. 

The decor trends, wedding planning process, ways to hire different types of vendors, etc have changed drastically. From visiting the venue to picking a virtual tour, couples and their families have been very sporting and positive about the changes. Even the bridal outfits for intimate weddings are different from the outfits that the brides would otherwise pick for a big fat Indian wedding.

As intimate weddings gain momentum and become popular among the millennial couples, we have curated a list of outfits for all the wardrobe inspiration you need for your intimate wedding. Read to know more!
