    The multi-day ceremony saw the bride and groom don beautiful ensembles, including their custom Anita Dongre outfits for the wedding day. While the couple leaned towards minimalistic style for their pre-wedding and wedding looks, the reception outfit saw the two pay homage to Vrishank’s Nepali roots with their looks.

    Like a mangalsutra, a tilhari symbolises the marital status of a woman in Nepal. It is made of beads, known as pote, and a cylindrical gold pendant, known as tilhari. The two parts of the necklace are brought separately and assembled together later. It’s considered sacred and auspicious for brides to wear the tilhari to symbolise their marital status and bring good fortune to the couple’s married life.


    Through their wedding wardrobe, Prajkata and Vrishank have made a strong case for brides and grooms to stay true to their story and celebration of love.

    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.
