Why Do You Need A Bridal Retreat?
Through extensive research and her own personal journey as a bride, mother, and bridal stylist, Ekta Shah realized that the wedding industry is full of resources for shopping, jewellery, clothes, and venues, but there is no one to answer the crucial questions about marriage. She pointed out that everyone places all the importance on the wedding day and none on the marriage, leaving brides feeling lost after the wedding festivities are over. This is where a bridal retreat comes in.
With face-to-face sessions with several experts, brides can have all their questions answered, whether it's about marriage, self-care, intimacy, or their legal rights. But don't worry! Bridal retreats are not all serious. They also include a grand bridal shower, downtime to relax, and the opportunity to bond with other brides who feel the same way.
How Much Does A Marriage Retreat Cost?
A bridal retreat is typically a 2-3 day lavish affair or a getaway to a luxurious estate, where the bride can relax and indulge in various activities while creating unforgettable memories.
As per expert Ekta Shah, the cost of a bridal retreat can range from INR 65,000 to 1 lakh, depending on the location, duration, and activities involved.
