    We often find ourselves gravitating towards the Romancecore aesthetic. The aesthetic that makes anyone look like the human embodiment poetry. If you too, love all-things-romantic like pastels, pearls, lace, pink, and bows, and would like to embody that aesthetic, here's how to do it.

    Nothing says romance quite like pearls. Pearls instantly add a layer of elegance and old world charm to any look. Sure, you can pair your cute pastel lehenga with diamonds, but you should consider pairing it with a dainty string of pearls, or even layer multiple pearl necklaces for a really romantic, vintage, old-school look. Or, wear a sari or a lehenga delicately embroidered with pearls all over it!



    Lace

    You can not talk about the soft romantic aesthetic and leave lace out of the discussion. It’s delicate, soft, and very feminine. Whether you go for something like a delicately embroidered lace lehenga, or a pretty lace sari, it’s one of the easiest ways to channel romance and old-world charm without trying too hard.

    First rule of channeling romance? Soft colors. Peach, ice blue, sage green, butter yellow, bubblegum pink, lilac! And not to forget, all shades of red! Seriously, red and pink are your best friends when aiming to channel this vibe. 



    Delicate florals

    There are a few things more romantic than flowers. I mean, there is a reason why men get flowers for women, after all! And we aren’t talking about the big, in-your-face kind of flowers. We’re talking about the delicate, dainty, barely-there kind of flowers. Like a sheer organza sari with floral print, or a monotone blouse with a subtle 3D floral pattern all over it!



    Ruffles

    Ruffles will never not be romantic. Think: a sheer ruffled blouse with a vintage printed sari, or a shirt with a ruffled collar paired with a cute pair of pants!



    Bows

    Bows are as cute and romantic as it gets. It can be as simple as wearing a cute little ribbon bow in your hair with an elegant monotone lehenga!

    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.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
