    Indian weddings have long been synonymous with a symphony of meticulously curated details…from custom ensembles to precious jewels and the guest list to gastronomic journey. Yet, the true mark of a grand affair lies in the alchemy of aesthetics. The convergence of a flawless theme, colour palette, sculptural centrepieces, and breathtaking floral installations are key to the bespoke wedding of your dreams. Manifest has recognised one such idea that will help you make a grand statement through wedding decor: the interactive corners.

    Weddings that once used to be all about rituals and traditions are now taking a more fun shape as the newer decor elements steal the spotlight. While most decor elements have their roots somewhere steeped in traditions, there is one decor trend that is transcending ritualistic boundaries at weddings and stepping into a more quirky zone: the interactive corners. From DIY booths to interactive bars to a play zone or mini amusement park setup like the one at Netra Mantena’s Udaipur wedding, these corners translate attending a wedding into a rather fun experience where guests actually become a part of the celebrations instead of just being a witness to a celebration. 


    But what has led to the emergence of this trend? Couples now want spaces that spark conversations and create memories not just for themselves but also for the people who join in on their big day. They want their guests entertained and not just on the dance floor or near the food counters.


    These interactive corners have taken various shapes, while at some these take the form a cute message wall, at others they come in the form of mixology corners. These corners, across weddings, have been ice breakers for people who are meeting each other for the first time and letting them make their own memories whilst being an active part of the couple’s.

    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:
