Weddings can be a lavish and expensive affair. While one might want to keep it larger-than-life, others prefer minimalistic and environment-friendly. Bollywood celebs, who can spend the big bucks for their big day, here are some who steered away from excessive expenditure and took the economic and simple route, setting the minimal trend.

Yami Gautam-Aditya Dhar

Yami Gautam married filmmaker Aditya Dhar in June 2021. The two have worked together on the hit film 'Uri: The Surgical Strike'. The actress opted for a low-key wedding in her hometown Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. "We don't like wastage of food and never wanted a DJ wedding. We are both traditional, we did our rituals which we loved. We played traditional Pahadi and Kashmiri songs, Punjabi folk tracks… There were just 20 people but it was really memorable," she told PTI. Interestingly, Yami's wedding saree belonged to her mother. Her makeup and hair were also done at home with the help of her sister.

Dia Mirza-Vaibhav Rekhi

Dia Mirza married Vaibhav Rekhi in February 2021. She shared that the ceremony was conducted using completely biodegradable and natural material. "The garden where I have spent every morning for the past 19 years was an absolutely magical setting and the most intimate and perfect space for our simple and soulful ceremony! We are so proud to have been able to organise a completely sustainable ceremony without plastics or any waste. The materials used for the minimal decor we went for were completely biodegradable and natural," she wrote on Instagram. Instead of a heavy lehenga, Dia wore a simple red saree by Raw Mango.
