It also marks an exciting new chapter for Manifest Life magazine with a refreshed identity and renewed editorial vision that headlines the official relaunch of a brand that's been making a firm footing in the modern wedding industry.
Held at the Constellar ballroom, the soirée will bring together the country's most influential names—in weddings, celebrations, fashion, photography, design, hospitality, jewellery, beauty and experiential luxury—all under one roof. Think of it as the industry's biggest reunion—with everyone in their ethnic best, where the ideas flow, so do the coffee and cocktails, and every conversation packs the potential to spark the next unforgettable wedding! If you’re already thinking Pinterest mood board-come-to-life, you’re bang on! Wouldn’t you love to just be a fly on the wall here as the conversations flow about one of India’s biggest economy drivers—the Indian wedding industry?
In Stellar Company
One of the event's biggest highlights is the opportunity to meet the people shaping India's celebration economy.
The excitement unravels at 7.30 pm with a panel discussion helmed by Cyrus Sahukar, with industry doyennes and those responsible for India's most spectacular celebrations. Sharing insights on the dais will be Queenie Singh, beauty entrepreneur and founder of Jewels by Queenie, Sandhya Shekar, founder of Mokae and someone who has created conic red-carpet looks for stars, Ankita Asthana, co-founder of WeddingNama who's lenses capture moments that feel intimate and emotionally honest, Jai Sharma of Envelop known for crafting story-led, deeply personal celebrations and Vaishali Shadangule of Vaishali S couture, who has become one of India's most influential couture designers. Engaging? Yes! But also spelling 30 minutes of fun as the doyennes reveal their insights and inspiration on what’s next for the evolving shaadi landscape—how today’s bride values storytelling over opulence, are grooms more indulgent with skincare now than ever? And, if 'Wed in India' is about bringing the world’s attention to celebrate here, we have to ask the question on everyone's minds: Are weddings today, India's biggest luxury export?
Whether you're a planner looking for collaborators, a designer seeking new partnerships, a luxury brand entering the wedding space or a venue showcasing its latest offerings, it is these conversations by Wed in India that will lead to future collaborations.
Post all the insights, it will be time to move into a totally fun unwind as singer Maahi Mukherjee takes over the space and takes everyone into a music and masti mood. Alongside, the night also sees guests indulge in a lineup that is fit for a luxury wedding by Four Seasons, with the likes of artisanal cheeses and tapenades, burratini bowls, saffron risottos and more, ending with brulee gulab jamun with cardamom rabdi and tiramisu.
As Manifest’s ‘Wed In India’ readies to make its impact, one thing is certain—this is the space that will envision the perspectives of tomorrow while also quietly lauding the multi-fold roles played by the wedding industry today.
For Manifest Life magazine, the day will herald a step into its next era—one that's bigger, bolder and more formidable, in the world of weddings. Get ready for a wedding celebration that is redefined.
