The ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly the U.S. conflict with Iran, are having a significant impact on the Indian wedding industry. According to reports, international wedding budgets have increased by 20-25% due to disruptions in air travel and rising jet fuel prices, while domestic wedding costs have risen by 10-15%. Families are responding by adopting smaller guest lists and shifting their focus to local venues to mitigate expenses. Luxury wedding planners are facing challenges with supply chain disruptions, leading to unpredictable pricing for imported flowers and premium ingredients. As a result, many are turning to seasonal flowers and regional decor to manage costs. While affluent families may absorb the higher expenses, mid-market consumers are cutting back on functions and guest lists. Interestingly, the disruption has also created opportunities for domestic hospitality, with a notable rise in demand for venues in popular locations like Rajasthan and Goa, leading to a 35-40% increase in hotel and venue prices compared to last year. As inquiries from overseas markets dwindle, Indian vendors are increasingly refocusing their efforts domestically.
