Catering and entertainment companies who are members of the directory have reportedly marked surge in couples adding a Bollywood flavour to their special day.
Jon Stebbings, Sales & Marketing Director at Party Offers Ltd said: "We’ve had lots of feedback from our members over the last twelve months who have noticed an increase in couples from different ethnic backgrounds picking specialist Asian caterers and musicians."
With weddings now costing on average £17,000, couples are looking for areas in which they can economise without sacrificing quality.
Jon said: "The trend is definitely towards more towards a mix and match approach, couples want to spend their money on ‘wow factors’. Aromatic, spicy food, or the sort of music you don’t traditionally hear at English weddings – these appeal to couples who are telling our members they are looking for something a bit different."
Two of the most successful British films of recent years, Bend It Like Beckham and East Is East, featured colourful Hindi and Muslim wedding scenes and led to headlines celebrating Britain’s melting pot culture.
Jon explained: "The Asian wedding planners in our directory have long been providing an essential service to members of the Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities. They need their help in organising traditional weddings – and they will continue to do so.
"Now people are combining elements from different cultures. It’s not that unusual at a reception to find a bride in a classic white dress, snacking on a bhaji, while tapping her feet to flamenco music."
