Inflation might have burned a hole in the aam admi's pocket but the Indian wedding is as big and fat as ever. From exotic, freshly flown-in orchids to a "varmala" in Phuket, Delhiites are ready to spend crores for a unique idea, say Royal Wedding Planner.
At 10,000 weddings a day over this weekend - in an auspicious three-day period from Saturday - Delhi's band-baja-baraat industry expectedly raked in the crores.Elaborate theme props have been erected in playgrounds - it could be the beaches of Hawaii or a royal carriage - banquet halls are tasselled in customized colour schemes and the florists are working round-the-clock with blooms that might well compete with the bridal trousseau on the price tag. "Though the cost of importing goods has gone up, people don't mind paying for it. They still want the venue to be decorated with exotic flowers. This is the only industry which is untouched by inflation. It is business as usual,'' says Anil Tondon, owner of Cloud 9 Hospitality.
