    Shivan & Narresh just showcased their new collection, Couture Series IV. And while we do love an opulent, traditional Indian wedding, this collection makes a strong case for the fun beach wedding.

    Their signature sexy, fun aesthetic was on full display. The collection had lots of sheer. There were a bunch of embellished sheer gowns, pants, skirts, and even saris that were perfect for a beach wedding party. Another cute trend spotted was the micro bralette.

    While the women’s looks mostly had stuff like sexy sheer saris and risqué bralettes, we also saw a couple of traditional saris and lehengas for the brides who like to take the conventional route.

    The collection had a varied colour palette. The initial looks were all grey, then pastel pink, red, black, and a bunch of looks with green and yellow.

    If there’s one thing we’ve noticed this season, it’s that brands are willing to experiment a lot more with menswear. At Shivan & Narresh as well, the menswear looks quite strong (and fun). With embellished sheer vests, embellished kurtas paired with matching skirts, chic pink co-ord sets, cute mini bags and mesh shirts, men’s looks were a cut above. One look that stood out, in particular, was a co-ord set made with long panels of fabric held together with pipe beads.

    All in all, if you’re a fun, sexy, edgy bride (and groom)  and wish to steer away from conventional, traditional aesthetics, this collection is for you.

    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.
