- Riya Sharma riya.sharma@hindustant­imes.com

Whenever we think of weddings, we think of venues with huge chandelier­s, fancy curtains and stunning table decor. However, the pandemic has completely changed the way we look at weddings now. A big fat Indian wedding is a distant memory for many. Covid-19 has taught that you can do a lot with minimalism, and home weddings are trending. And who says home weddings have to be boring and the decor has to be all about garlands? You can have a wedding with some eyecatchy decor either on your terrace, backyard or simply in your living room. Psst, it does not even cost you a fortune!

COSY MANDAP, MAYBE?

Who says you need the old school way, when you can simply add a gorgeous backdrop and curtains? You can simply turn around your living room into the perfect setting for the couple with a couch and flowers.

ADD A LITTLE GARLAND

Yes, we know we said garlands are not always required, but a little added to your haldi decor never, ever hurts, right?

LIGHT UP YOUR WORLD!

If your wedding space is sorted, how about this set up for the sangeet? Add lights to your terrace, and make it picture-perfect with colourful curtains.

PERSONALIS­ED CORNER

Imagine all your girlfriend­s in a personalis­ed corner at your mehendi function, doesn’t it sound like a deal? A corner with fun activities, photo booth, snacks et al.

HIJACK YOUR BALCONY

How about adding little charms to your balcony? Fairy lights, bright colours complement­ing the earthy tones make it all you had imagined.
