    The colour of your bridal ensemble isn’t just about style—it’s a subtle reflection of who you are. While red remains a classic choice in many cultures, today brides are choosing from a wider palette... Think soft pastels, rich jewel tones, and minimalist neutrals.


    Colour theory suggests that every shade triggers specific emotions and reveals aspects of personality. So, whether you’re drawn to a bold maroon, soothing blues or even calming ivory, your bridal hue may be saying more about you than you think.

    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.
