    Picture this: a wedding straight out of a French fairytale, where château backdrops meet floaty pastels, pearl-dusted fabrics, and just the right amount of old-world drama. This mood is all about soft romance with a couture twist—think corseted gowns, whisper-light lace, and silhouettes that feel equally at home in candlelit halls or blooming garden courtyards. It’s vintage charm reimagined for the modern bride who wants elegance without feeling overly formal. The palette leans dreamy (blush, champagne, powder blue), the details stay delicate, and every look feels like it belongs in a slow, sweeping montage set to a love song. Bridal designers are embracing that French-girl ease: refined, feminine, and effortlessly chic, with pearls, florals, and gentle drapes doing most of the talking. Whether you’re planning a destination celebration or just love the idea of château-core romance, this aesthetic proves that sometimes, the softest styles make the most memorable statements.

    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.
