Harper’s Bazaar Bride is the ultimate guide for luxury weddings. Here is every modern bride’s ‘go-to’ magazine for the best in Indian and international couture, trousseau shopping, jewellery, wedding décor, gifting, beauty and much more.
Determined, consistent, and not ones to be shackled by patriarchy, our cover stars are breaking all the rules in their newest venture— Veere Di Wedding. Having worked with Kareena, Sonam, and Rhea a number of times, I’ve come to respect their irreverence for gender roles and their intolerance for male balderdash. And that’s why, they made for the perfect choice for this all-black cover—our way of supporting and cheering on the #MeToo campaign. This issue is also significant because Veere Di Wedding depends on its all-female cast to work and the film doesn’t stick to a mass-appeal, slapstick formula. Instead, it encourages conversations among women and the people around them. Sticking to the theme of strong women from different fields, we’ve also shot with names such as Nafisa Ali Sodhi,…
Q: What is the ideal location for your dream wedding? I would love to take my near and dear ones to a château in Tuscany! The beautiful picturesque gardens in full bloom would be ideal for a summer wedding and the rich architecture would certainly evoke that romantic picture-perfect feel. Q: What kind of décor would you like? I would follow a pastel and white palette that would look beautiful against the lush and green Tuscan countryside, using white as the base and periwinkle blue and onion pink to add some colour. Q: What kind of clothes, accessories, and jewellery should the bride and groom don? For me, it’s all about pastels, like champagne-coloured hand embroidery on raw silk. But the most important thing is comfort. If you don’t enjoy…
Q: What is the ideal location for your dream wedding? Somewhere by the sand and water for sure. So, probably the Maldives. A wedding set up on the beach, with low-key, summer vibes, where everyone can just chill, drink, and lay on the sand. Q: What will the décor be like? Very minimal; I want wild flowers and fairy lights. A wedding by the beach means that half the décor is already done! I want big pillows on the sand, vintage tables, lots of lanterns and candles. Q: What kind of food would you like at your wedding? Mini-burgers, hot dogs, pizzas, basically junk food because I like to keep it real. Q: What would you like to wear? I want something simple, elegant, and fuss-free. I want to look…
Q: What is the one ingredient the bridal beauty industry is currently obsessing over? Right now, everyone is in love with argan oil. Q: What are the steps to follow while washing one’s hair? Always shampoo twice—the first shampoo focusses on the scalp, the second on the scalp and hair lengths. Emulsify and massage the scalp while rinsing to make sure all the shampoo is rinsed out. Follow up with a conditioner or a masque on the hair and not the scalp. Q: What are the post-wash and pre-wash products you use and why? Before washing, I use a scrub or clay for deep cleansing of the scalp and hair. I also oil my hair pre-wash for moisture. Post wash, I use a leave-in conditioner or cream to (sun and…

Fawaz Gruosi, the genius founder and creative director behind the brand de GRISOGONO, likes to acknowledge the huge role of luck along with passion and dedication behind the meteoric birth and rise of the brand in the last 25 years. A journey that began with cleaning counters at a jewellery store in Florence led him to climb his way up to being the top salesperson in the store, to working for the most renowned jewellery brands around the world. “The desire to unleash my creative ideas and design my own jewels became stronger and stronger, until I was finally able to establish de GRISOGONO in 1993 with two partners, and subsequently take sole control of the company two years later,” says Gruosi. His vision and the ability to take risks…
