"Indian weddings are all about sustainability. We suggest the following things to keep in mind for a couple looking to tie the knot in an intimate, minimal and eco-friendly wedding:
a. Keep your guests limited to only close friends and family.
b. Select a venue which is already aesthetically pleasing to you and also different areas that could be used for different functions. This would help in using minimal décor.

"A lockdown wedding of any kind has to be planned differently. We arranged for RT PCR tests to be done for all guests and vendors before they arrived for the wedding. We had a special team in place to only coordinate with the guests and vendors to organize their test and also to coordinate with the lab for reports. At the venue, we had a sanitization process for all guest luggage and other items required for various ceremonies. We also had sanitization stations set up at multiple common areas. Being a high profile wedding, we also had to ensure that we had enough security in place to maintain privacy."
