From Our Desk to Your Big Day: The Wedding Edit
This is a special moment for us the very first time we’re putting together a Wedding Special Issue, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. Weddings, after all, are not just ceremonies; they are grand celebrations of love, family, and togetherness. And in true Indian style, they often come with all the splendour, emotion, and joy that make them unforgettable.
In this issue, we bring you “Trending Now: The Big Fat Indian Wedding 2025” a complete guide to what’s hot, stylish, and essential for the year ahead. Our Fashion & Style section features Shantanu & Nikhil, who are redefining men’s wedding wear with bold, contemporary twists, while Manish Malhotra takes us through the latest bridal couture trends. We also have Sandy’s expert tips for timeless bridal makeup and styling, and of course, the sparkle of jewellery that ties it all together.
Décor and experiences are at the heart of any wedding, and we’ve got Dinaz sharing her vision of dreamy wedding spaces. Top wedding planners reveal what it takes to curate flawless celebrations, while photographers talk about iconic frames and the 10 bridal poses every couple must capture. Food, beauty, wellness, entertainment, and travel we’ve packed it all in, with insights from some of the best names in the industry.
But here’s the one thing I want every bride, groom, and family to remember: weddings are not about perfection. They’re not just about that perfect lehenga shot or that picture-perfect mandap. They’re about the laughter, the tears, the hugs, the dances the little moments that stay with you long after the guests have left. Don’t overwhelm yourself with details or stress about getting everything right. Take a breath, look around, and truly be in the moment.
Because at the end of the day, weddings are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And perfection lies not in flawless planning, but in the joy of celebrating love.
Here’s to the start of something magical.
