The resurgence has also impacted related sectors, including hospitality, travel, and retail. Hotels report higher occupancy rates linked to wedding guests, while designers and jewelers note increased demand for customized attire and accessories.
Economists say the wedding industry’s rebound is contributing to broader economic activity, particularly in service-driven markets. In Pakistan and other countries, wedding-related spending remains a significant cultural and economic factor.
