    Fit Like a Glove

    Jayanti REddy

    The corset has reclaimed its rightful place as one of the most celebrated garments, especially within the realm of weddings. It features meticulously done boning that makes for a silhouette that accentuates the curves and hugs the body like a glove.

    Peekaboo

    Delicate fabrics like tulle, organza, and mesh, embellished with surface ornamentation like crystals, beadwork, pearls, appliqués, or lace, are the flavour of the season. From sheer corsets to diaphanous skirts paired with bodysuits, this trend offers romanticism with the right amount of risqué.

    Little Mermaid

    Hugging the body just a little below the knees and flaring out ever so lightly at the bottom, the fishtail or mermaid skirt offers drama while beautifully embracing your curves, quite literally!

    Classic Case

    Elegant and romantic, pearls have always been a symbol of timelessness. However, they are now being reimagined in ways that amalgamate classic and cool. No longer confined to your heirloom pearl strings and necklaces, they’ve got an upgrade this season.

    In Full Bloom

    Flowers are blooming all across the runways in the most romantic, whimsical ways. Not as prints or subdued embroideries, but as bold, sculptural 3D appliqués. From big, larger-than-life roses nestling on the waist of a gown, to countless tiny peonies trailing all over the garment, this season, romance is taking center stage with florals that are anything but shy.

    Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

    Metallics are sparkling their way through the runways and to the closets of brides-to-be. From warm golds to cool silvers, a head-to-toe metallic look lets you go easy on the embellishments and still shine on!

    Bare It All

    Whether it's an extravagant lehenga or a sleek sari, a blouse with a delicate, off-shoulder neckline that bares your shoulders and collarbone adds a feminine, sophisticated touch to your look. We would suggest pairing this romantic neckline with minimal, dainty diamonds.

    Stardust

    While we love a simple, plain veil with an embroidered border, this season is all about veils with embellishments all over. Delicate tulle peppered with beadwork, pearls, mirrorwork, crystals, and even appliqués is gaining spotlight.

    Emerald Isle

    While all the rich, saturated jewel tones—from ruby red to amethyst purple—are having a major moment right now, we are particularly loving emerald green. Whether it's a futuristic Amit Aggarwal outfit, or a classic Shanti Banaras handloom sari, this vivid hue lends itself seamlessly to both contemporary and traditional outfits.

    Poles Apart

    One-shoulder necklines, diagonal necklines, and necklines with different draping on each side are having a moment, especially with delicate, romantic gowns.

    A Cut Above

    The drama of a high collar meets the flirtiness of a décolleté cut-out neckline. The high collar lends a regal, statuesque aesthetic to the ensemble, while the cut-out revealing the collarbones adds a hint of sexy. This beautifully balanced neckline marries.

    The High Road

    Tony Ward

    Let your regular skirts and gowns get a sultry, playful upgrade with a slit this season. And not just any slit, but dramatic, thigh-high slits that make every step feel like a strut down a runway.

    A Li’l Extra

    SnapInsta

    When it comes to sleeves, forget about keeping things subdued this season. Go all out on the drama, with exaggerated balloon sleeves that refuse to be ignored. Whether it’s a lacy, off-shoulder gown, with dramatic enveloping sleeves, or a sleek cape with full-volume sleeves—this season it’s all about either going big or going home!

    Swinging By

    Fun and playful, fringes have been gracing both Indian and International runways, of late. Once reserved for the Flapper Era, fringes are now making their way to bridal fashion, lending edge and movement to the garment.

    A Royal Affair

    1294-Show-_PunitBalana10years

    Beautiful, regal, and unapologetically bold, Rani Pink is having a major moment. Besides, you cannot walk into a room wearing this stunning colour and not have everybody take notice. Rani Pink commands attention without being too loud, and is perfect for a bride who refuses to play by the rules.

    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.
