Maximising personalisation and having mostly the closest loved ones around are some of the many reasons that went into this increasingly popular wedding decision.
Meet Ajay and Praneeta, a dynamic duo whose love story blends the worlds of data analytics and fashion styling. Ajay, a meticulous data analyst, and Praneeta, a creative fashion stylist, recently tied the knot in a decision that resonates with their unique personalities and values. Opting for an intimate wedding over a grand affair, they chose to prioritize intimacy, personalization, and meaningful connections.
Today, they graciously share their journey and insights into why they opted for a smaller, more personalized celebration—a decision that reflects their love for each other and their desire for a wedding day that felt authentically theirs.
Weddingkart: Hello Ajay and Praneeta! Thank you for taking the time to chat with us about your wedding. Let's start with the big question—why did you decide to have an intimate wedding?
Ajay: Hello! It's great to be here. Well, when we began planning our wedding, we both felt strongly about having an experience that was personal and meaningful. We wanted our wedding day to reflect who we are as a couple and to be surrounded by our closest loved ones.
Weddingkart: That sounds wonderful! Could you tell us more about how an intimate setting allowed you to personalize your wedding day?
Praneeta: Absolutely! One of the things we loved most about having an intimate wedding was the ability to personalize every detail. From choosing a picturesque vineyard for our ceremony to handpicking the décor and menu, every decision was made with our story in mind. It allowed us to create an atmosphere that felt authentically 'us'.
Weddingkart: It must have been a beautiful setting! How did having a smaller guest list impact your wedding day?
Ajay: It made a world of difference. Instead of worrying about accommodating a large number of guests, we were able to focus on spending quality time with each person there. Our wedding felt like a gathering of our closest family and friends, and that intimacy really added to the joy and warmth of the day.
Weddingkart: Many couples find planning a wedding stressful. How did having an intimate wedding affect your planning process?
Praneeta: It was surprisingly calming and stress-free. With fewer logistics to manage and fewer expectations to meet, we could truly enjoy the planning process. We were able to focus on what mattered most to us—creating a memorable experience for ourselves and our guests.
Weddingkart: Did you face any challenges or concerns about opting for an intimate wedding?
Ajay: Initially, we did wonder if some people might feel left out. However, once we explained our reasons for choosing an intimate celebration—to focus on meaningful connections and create a personal experience—our loved ones were incredibly supportive. In the end, everyone who attended understood and appreciated our decision.
Weddingkart: Lastly, what advice would you give to couples who are considering having an intimate wedding?
Praneeta: Follow your hearts. Your wedding day should be a reflection of your love and your journey together. Don't be afraid to prioritize what truly matters to you as a couple, whether it's choosing a destination that speaks to your hearts or sharing your day with your closest loved ones. An intimate wedding allows you the freedom to create a day that feels uniquely yours.
