Fake Weddings: Fun Trend and New Revenue Stream or End of Real I Do's?
Description
The fake wedding trend is taking over social feeds and it’s not just happening in India anymore. From luxury venues in Dubai to campuses in the US, these full-scale wedding events have everything… except the actual marriage.
In this episode, join Katie and Roxy as they unpack exactly what a fake wedding is, where the trend is headed, and their thoughts on whether it’s an opportunity or a threat to the meaning of weddings.
We’ll share how suppliers can turn this into off-season wedding bookings, fresh marketing content, and collaborative events that generate real revenue. Plus, we get into the big debate – does this undermine the emotional and cultural significance of marriage, and should it even be called a wedding?
