Candid Indian Bride

It is said that wedding is “Once-in-a-lifetime” affair and there have been trends that are dragged along since ages and some trends that are added each year with every new wedding season.
Photo Booths and destination weddings were two major trends last year witnessed. Following year, along with drastic rise in destination weddings, a few more trends are expected to be inculcated walking along the footsteps of different stylists and wedding experts.
This year will certainly see fresh changes in the wedding bout  leaving out no room for languor.

Here we are spilling the beans over the most-picked trends not only in Indian wedding scenario but looking at International wedding trends too.

1. Candid Photography:

Moments to cherish

This one is not the latest of the trends but it does have a lot of value. It’s already ruling the wedding world. Wedding photography is no longer just limited to photography. It has grown itself in a storytelling… An art.
A story where you and your better half are the heroes and the unsung tale of you both is sung in melodious harmony.
The world falls short when it comes to capturing moments – not just people. Weddings are much more than just food, people and venue. Sure these things do count . But at the end of the day, it’s all about laughter, bliss, happiness, joy, colours, tradition, rituals and most of all – LOVE.

2.Camera is in the air: Drone

Drones is the buzzword this wedding season. The flying camera has taken the wedding world by the wind. More and more photographers and couples want to capture those blissful and joyous moments from above the divine angle.
With the rising trend of destination weddings where the venue is royal like in Rajasthan, or a scenic place like in the mountains or the beach; whatever the choice – Drones are totally in this season!
Imagine having an out-of-the-world venue and ending up with pictures that do not match the standards set by you, how far will the memories last? Perhaps a few years! Spare yourself such horror and go for Drones if you haven’t considered them as yet.
Because

“Memory is a way for holding on the things you love,
The things you are,
And the things you’d never want to lose….”

3. A monologue of Style:

Ethereal beauty

You would rarely find any bride who wouldn’t want her pictures to look like a magazine portfolio… As Pablo Picasso puts it  “Whatever you can imagine is real.”
Your wedding is a time when you both are styled, groomed, glamorized and wearing things that make you look like prince and princess. What they do in magazine editorials is put a lot of deliberate effort on details and place both you stunners at places to create that visual impact on the reader!
Editorial style shoots are perfect amid the wedding days  to make you look beautiful and pleasingly gladening.  Intrigued enough? We bet!
Okay now, jumping to detailed structure of these shoots, there are two ways to go about this kind of photography:
An indoor studio photoshoot with lights, cameras, all the posing, glamour, vigour and Passion  like that Vogue magazine cover you saw?!
The other way is extensively photographing naturally with surreal background and you both. Love, Romance and Intimacy being the content of the photographs.

4. The return of Monochrome:

Monochrome and Marvellous

As Dominic Rouse puts it “Colour is everything. Black and white is more.”
Photography, when it got introduced to the world was in black and white. Later with technological advancements, colours did came into play but Monochrome didn’t fade at all! Infact, photographers from around the world consider black and white photography to be the purest form and it has been flourishing more than ever in the wedding scenario lately.
Monochrome is also unsurpassed for portraits, architecture and landscape. Bringing close attention to eyes, face, expressions and details, Black and White picture stands out much more. Colours can be distraction. Let’s put it this way –  Colours speakout reality while monochrome is the interpretation.
The vintage factor it gives to the wedding creating an indefinable aura is what monochrome strives for.

5. The selfie station

The aim: To be trendy, funny, out-of-the-box and classy all at the same time!Every corner and nook of this world has some person taking selfies. What’s better than giving your guests a place to get crazy selfies at? Get those photobooth props and the selfie station has the selfie train running!
Not only will they have a great time clicking themselves all suited up but this will also give them some private time to express their hearts out which will give you memories of lifetime.

6. The Social media fodder

The world is ruled by social media and there has to be some fodder for it.  There’s no way you can stop your friends from posting about your wedding on social media platforms. It’s time after the wedding  that you relax and browse through the photos your friends and family tagged you in.
Digital media has a lot to offer. Animated pictures and GIFs are in trend nowadays. GIFs strikingly make a certain part of picture come out alive.
Those tech-savvy folks have digital frames at their shelves, these cinematographs look great on digital photo frames and keep the observer hooked onto the pictures.
Another trend getting popular among people is a candid wedding teaser. A video of about 3-5 minutes telling your lovely story in a nutshell.

7. Smoke Bombs:

Party crackers are out while smoke bomb is the whole new ball game. If you have seen the bride and the groom standing in the middle of colourful smoke, you certainly have a fair idea what smoke bombs are.
These come in different hues and add that dimension and intrigue to the photographs. Some choose single colour bomb while others opt for multiple deep plumes.
The new blood, also known as smoke grenades, injected in the wedding scenario has been rapidly gaining attention of most wedding planners, photographers and couples. Due to the imbibition of dramatic colours and that haze factor, this trends most certainly gives some really dreamy and surreal images which people dread for…
Warning : Extensive care has to be taken to incorporate smoke bombs in your wedding album. The grenades get real hot, so it’s essential to give them time to cool down before disposing them off.

8. Food Trucks

We certainly do not have a crystal ball but what we undoubtedly have what’s going to be trending this season!
Massive surge about food at weddings lately has been Food Trucks around the world. In India, trucks have just made their baby steps in the food industry and in the whole wedding scenario it’s so fresh that it almost sounds absurd.
But come to think of it, everything at your wedding is worth the million bucks. And when it comes to food catering; what you have is old-school boring buffet!
With the world going west, it’s high time that we bring seriously sophisticated and high-class food services. Incorporate a food truck at your wedding. Why?
Because you get a plethora of options about how you want the truck to look like. It can dramatically add to that facet of uber classiness.

9. Let it be the Groom’s show

Talk about a wedding..
So what did she wear? How did she look? So passé!
Weddings are no longer just the bride’s affair. Bridezilla is the word for the days gone by.

We have grooms that are seriously involved in making their wedding day the most beautiful one, they can offer their brides with.
More involved handsome grooms are leading the race. These heroes take total participation to blend in the colours and celebrations of the weddings. 

10. The Seating

You may say, Who cares!? But wait! This is what  is on the  top charts this wedding spell.
More and more couples want  their weddings to be Bride-groom centric – LITERALLY!
The seating is no longer desired to be in “time-honoured” conference sorts. Instead – KEEP GUESSING…
People around the world are better inclined towards having circular seating where everyone faces everyone. This not only leads to making the couple the life of party, which they never-the-less already are, but makes the atmosphere more gay and happy.
