The Big Day is a reality show on Netflix featuring six different Indian couples from diverse backgrounds, as they plan and execute their dream weddings. Each couple has a distinct love story which makes their special day even more significant, and as they take the next step in their relationship, they desire nothing less than a perfect wedding. In each episode of the series, the show gives audiences an inside look at how each couple's big day is being planned, the wedding designers behind the scenes and the stress the couples and their families experience in the lead-up to the momentous event.

Professional makeup artist, Daniel Bauer, creates breathtaking looks for the brides, while fashion and beauty planning expert, Prerna Gupta, helps make each couple's vision of their big day a reality.

The series highlights the various customs and rituals of Indian weddings, such as the pre-wedding ceremonies, such as Mehndi and Sangeet, which are held a few days before the wedding. These pre-wedding events are essential in Indian culture, and The Big day gives insight into what they represent and the role they play. Additionally, the series showcases the celebratory and busy atmosphere surrounding the weddings with the Indian wedding décor, fashion, music, and the incredible union of two families.
