    The bride shared on Instagram that she chose to structure her entire outfit around the dupatta her mother-in-law wore to her wedding. She enlisted the help of Rano’s Heirlooms to restore it and create an outfit she could wear with it. Not only this, Mawra also chose to wear Ameer’s grandmother’s wedding jewellery for the nuptials. “Rano Aunty & Jahannoor you two literally curated my dream Nikkah outfit.. absolutely magical.. Thankyou so so much (sic),” wrote Mawra, on Instagram.

    Restoring heirlooms and including them in wedding outfits is an evergreen trend that would remain top tier. Closer to home, Sonakshi Sinha, too, chose to wear her mother’s bridal sari on her wedding day in 2024.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
