With an exhibit featuring over 40 participants — from Manish Malhotra’s exquisite showcase to the late designer Rohit Bal’s designs, one of a kind without a doubt — to jewellers across India… The FDCI Manifest Wedding Weekend did not just offer a one-stop shop to couples who are going to tie the knot but brought forth the kind of experience that makes wedding shopping a cakewalk. but an exclusive insight for guests into the vibrant wedding fashion world and its many facets.
Designers and brands such as Tarun Tahiliani, JJ Valaya, Namrata Joshipura, Jayanti Reddy, Shantnu & Nikhil, and Shanti Banaras (to name a few!) showcased bridal collections ranging from timeless lehengas and sarees to contemporary silhouettes for mehendi, sangeet, and reception celebrations.

Runway to aisle: FDCI Manifest Wedding Weekend brings couture to lifeManifest India
Complementing the couture were exquisite fine jewellery labels, such as Archana Aggarwal and Isvari Jalandhar, D’zor Perl, Amrapali Jaipur, Shree Jewellers, Kishandas & Co., Gems and Jewels Palace, and Shree Jee Jewellers, which displayed everything a bride would need for her bijoux — emeralds, rubies, polki, jadau, and diamonds.
An event spearheaded by Manifest in collaboration with the Fashion Design Council of India, with hydration partner Vedica, the exhibition, in many ways, paid homage to love, luxury, fashion, and legacy. As brides, grooms, and their squads took turns trying on lehengas and sherwanis, looking to build their trousseau. What set this event apart was how effortlessly it blurred the lines between runway spectacle and real-time shopping.
Many of the showstopping pieces unveiled at India Couture Week 2025 were made directly available to attendees at the FDCI Manifest Wedding Weekend — bringing couture from the runway straight into the hands of eager brides and grooms. It wasn’t just a showcase of dream-worthy couture — it was also a space where aspirational fashion became instantly accessible.

Whether it was finding the perfect reception look or styling jewellery with an outfit, the event truly captured the ramp-to-retail spirit that defines the new age of experiential luxury.
The event saw a footfall of about 2500 people across the two days, with brides and grooms trying on garments and ensembles, as well as the exquisite jewellery pieces put up by the participants.
