An Indian marriage is not less than any festival. The upcoming wedding season in India will not only be fun and fascinating for the bride, groom but also for the wedding industry, as according to Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), 32 lakh weddings scheduled to take place between 4 November to 14 December will generate business of at least ₹3.75 lakh crore.
