Bridal and wedding shopping can feel overwhelming with so many destinations across the city. To […]
Red doesn’t whisper at an Indian wedding. It arrives, it commands, and it stays in the photographs for decades. But no two reds are alike. One designer’s red is a smouldering, sindoor-deep heirloom shade, another’s is a sun-warmed vermilion, and a third is a rebellious tomato-pop that makes the mandap look underdressed. Choosing a red […]
For decades, the bridal lehenga was the default. You said “wedding,” and everyone pictured the same silhouette: a heavy skirt, a fitted blouse, a dupatta draped just so. It worked, and for a lot of brides, it still does. But Gen Z brides are rewriting the brief. They’re not rejecting tradition so much as they’re […]
Some looks arrive like a whisper. Alia Bhatt’s finale walk at Manish Malhotra’s 15 Years of Mijwan show was exactly that: held in Mumbai on September 26, hushed, luminous and impossible to look away from. Think ivory silk caught in candlelight, with chikankari doing the talking. The Saree That Made Ivory Feel Extraordinary This […]
There’s a thread running through Indian fashion right now, quite literally. Not the neon sequin, not the pastel organza but the metallic gold-and-silver filament that’s been embroidered into our clothes since the Mughal courts. Zari, the craft your grandmother’s wedding saree was made of, is back on runways, red carpets, and reels, except this time it’s […]
Every wedding season leaves behind a residue, a phrase, a silhouette, a shade that lingers in every trousseau conversation for years after. 2027 is shaping up to be one of those seasons. The bridal wardrobe is moving away from safe, expected choices and toward pieces that argue with tradition a little, a corset laced over a […]
Gone are the days when the Punjabi bridal suit was believed to be the quiet cousin of the lehenga. They were neatly packed and saved for the sangeet, the courtyard functions, the days between the “big” events. But the same bridal kurta sets found a new meaning. Somewhere between the sharara’s comeback and the gharara’s second act, the suit […]
There’s something undeniably romantic about a monsoon wedding. The overcast sky, the petrichor in the air, the sound of rain against marigold-draped mandaps — it creates a mood that no other season can quite replicate. But getting married during the rains also demands a sharper eye for fashion choices. The wrong fabric, the wrong footwear, […]
There is a particular kind of magic that happens when a bridal outfit is perfectly calibrated to the woman wearing it. Not just the embroidery, not just the color — but the proportion, the structure, the way the fabric falls. For the petite bride, that calibration is everything. Great bridal style has never been about […]
Something quietly radical is happening at Indian weddings. Brides are trading in centuries of red for something quieter, cleaner, and frankly more cinematic-white It feels especially of the moment in a year where soft, understated tones are dominating fashion conversations alongside Pantone’s Colour of the Year. What was once considered inauspicious is now the most aspirational shade on the shaadi circuit. And […]
