In recent months, there have been a series of high-end weddings, a combination of two Bollywood- Hollywood cultural platforms ( Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas) to one of the most expensive weddings in history (when Isha Ambani, the daughter of the richest man in Asia, married Anand Piramal, the son of a technology billionaire.)
A large sum of money was spent on the bride's high-end outfits, dishes from the world's top chefs, and the rental cost of luxury palaces.
People are looking for high quality at a wedding instead of quantity, says Priyanka Gupta, a wedding planner at My Shaadi Wedding Wale. and In India, large, lavish weddings last from a few days to a 10-day celebration.
All of India's recent major weddings have sparked a wave of social media reactions both domestically and internationally for being too flashy, in complete contrast to the poverty and poor living conditions seen everywhere across India.
Unfortunately, todays upper class seems to want to show their strength through taking on their privileges and status, paying extra for a wedding is considered an effort to achieve a higher social status and receive greater respect in the community. Bhandari, a lecturer at the University of Cambridge who specializes in wedding culture, shared.
