About 60% of couples mix tradition with digital elements in their wedding.

In 2025, weddings are no longer just about exchanging vows. They’re about creating immersive, shareable experiences. Nearly 60% of couples are combining tradition with technology, using hashtags, QR codes, and digital touchpoints to redefine how guests engage. From scanning QR codes that reveal seating charts and playlists to posting memories under a custom wedding hashtag, technology is streamlining logistics while adding a playful, inclusive layer to the celebration.

QR Codes as Storytelling Tools

“In today’s digital world, most couples are redefining the guest experience by incorporating QR codes into every facet of their wedding,” said Nirav Thaleshwar, Founder of Allegiant Events.

“What was once just a convenient way of submitting RSVPs has evolved into an engaging, interactive trend. Couples are using QR codes to unlock playlists, video notes, scavenger hunts, live polls, and even digital wish walls and turning weddings from something guests attend into experiences they actively shape,” Thaleshwar explains.

Social Media & Shared Moments

“These days, weddings are as much about experience as they are about tradition,” added Anjali Tolani, Vice President – Celebrations at Tamarind Global.

“From hashtags for live social media posts to QR codes for event updates, playlists, and video messages, nearly 60% of couples are finding ways to make their guests part of the narrative. Weddings no longer end at the mandap. They live on Instagram, TikTok, and in shared memories that extend far beyond the day,” she notes.

Personalisation at Its Core

“Weddings today are deeply personal, and couples are exploring new ways to create meaningful interactions,” said Vicky Tulsyan, Founder & Creative Director of Mirage Weddings and Events. He recalls curating an Arabic Souk–inspired welcome lunch at Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi, where guests selected Middle Eastern and Indian spices to take home in personalised wedding kits.

“It wasn’t just décor. It was a cultural and emotional connection that made the experience unforgettable,” he says.

For planners, leaning into these tools means delivering weddings that are not only beautifully curated but also interactive, memorable, and authentic reflections of how couples celebrate today.
