    Weddings have always been an extravagant affair, with numerous lists of things to remember, guests to invite, and plans to execute. But what truly makes a wedding a grand affair is its ambience. A culmination of aesthetics, it takes more than just a venue and guests to make a wedding a success. 


    From that perfect theme to the right colours to match the theme, the correct centre pieces to the perfect floral arrangements and even to the right chandeliers and hanging decorations, each of these elements comes together to curate that perfect wedding of your dreams. These are not just decor elements but a part of the wedding that, if missed, can make your big day feel incomplete. While there are several such decor elements that make up for just the perfect vibe for your special day, there is something undeniably unique about the archways that welcome you into a wedding.

    Lifelike Installations


    Big, bold and quirky installations are officially the new stars of wedding decor this wedding season. Think giant hanging structures, oversized art pieces and dramatic stage setups that leave everyone awe-inspired. Couples today are stepping away from the usual floral arrangements and decor pieces and stepping closer to that big moment that instantly sets the mood and vibe of their wedding day. “Couples want weddings that feel immersive and emotionally transportive. It’s all about the story! That’s why sculptural pieces of decor and interactive experiences take centre stage,” shares Vedika Mohan, Creative Director, The Wedding Design Company.

    With a focus on creating more immersive backdrops and making one strong statement, these installations transform the entire space and make it look like a scene straight out of an art gallery. Massive installations are not just decor elements, rather they become a central point of attention, a detail that stays with the couples and the wedding guests for years to come. Besides, it has become a favourite not just for couples but also for the wedding designers who work on these pieces for their wide variety fits every vibe and mood. One oversized decor moment that makes the whole event feel grander and yet does not feel over-the-top.

    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.
