    We are knee-deep into the wedding season right now, and if you are a fashion girlie planning your bridesmaid looks last-minute right now, we feel you; last-minute look planning as a fashion girlie can be overwhelming. Especially if you are the maximalist kind, someone who likes to go all out on the drama, someone who is always dangerously close to the line where you start overshadowing the bride! We suggest taking a cue from Bhumi Pednekar on how to nail the maximalist bridesmaid aesthetic this wedding season.

    One thing we know for sure about Bhumi’s style is that she loves to channel the boho energy—from OTT silver jewellery to outfits with earthy prints, tassels and shells, she loves to embody the bohemian, carefree aesthetic. Case in point: this brown Nitya Bajaj look. From her jewellery to the earthy print on the draped skirt, and the shells hanging from the hem of her halter neck blouse, everything about the looks screams big boho energy.

    This purple saree look on Bhumi Padnekar is another testament to her penchant for all things boho. She wore this bright purple saree in the double pallu drape, paired it with a matching mini bag, simple jewellery, and a bindi. She also wore her hair in a braid, and adorned it with tassels. We’re loving how the tassels on her pallu, braid, as well as the bag reiterate her love for the earthy, boho-chic aesthetic.

    Micro-blouses are having a major moment right now, and Bhumi also hopped on to the hype train with this beautiful Masaba lehenga. She styled it with minimal hair and make-up, and a kundan choker. Bridesmaids, you might want to take a cue and get a cute micro-bag this wedding season.

    This Ekaya Banaras look is perfect for some haldi inspiration this wedding season. It’s rich, elegant, and fuss-free. With Bhumi, best believe that this will be as minimalistic as it will get.

    If you are looking to take up the drama by several notches this wedding season, we suggest taking inspiration from this ivory Rohit Bal look on Bhumi. The jacket is reminiscent of Dior’s bar jacket silhouette, and looks super well crafted. She has paired the outfit with a matching headgear similar to the Tarang, or the traditional Kashmiri hat worn by brides. We’re also loving how she takes up the drama even further with those long, dramatic earrings. Love! 

    One trend we’re loving this wedding season? OTT embroidered blouses paired with printed sarees. Exhibit A: this Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla look on Bhumi. She has taken the drama of this look even further by pairing it with a Navratna haasli and a huge Navratna ring. We approve!

    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.
