Another year and another wedding season is here! Kerala’s 2026 wedding season is witnessing a lovely shift among priorities. Food has become the main focus of every party, while luxurious settings and decor are becoming less common. Couples are selecting minimal decorations, simple and less crowd events and more personal get-togethers, but they demand perfection when it comes to dining. These days, the flavor, quality and experience of the food offered define a memorable wedding.

Another important trend is the rise of themed weddings, in which everything, from decoration to outfits, follows to a specific concept. Naturally, food continues to reflect these ideas. Menus for conventional day weddings and special evening celebrations are carefully planned to match the mood, timing, and style of each event. Live counters, specialty delicacies, and well-planned presentations are becoming staples of modern Kerala weddings.

Kerala food remains the main attraction despite all of these changes. The traditional Sadya is everlasting due to its rich flavors and cultural significance. Alongside it, the most popular options are still traditional foods like Malabar biryani, appam and stew, seafood specialties, and real vegetarian options. Even when fusion or global components are added, they are frequently combined with or influenced by regional tastes.

While wedding concepts change every year, one thing remains constant is the emotional connection people have with good food. Trends may come and go, but taste, tradition and quality never lose importance. In 2026, Kerala weddings perfectly balance modern ideas with culinary roots, proving once again that no matter how celebrations evolve, great food will always be the heart of a wedding.
