MUSE OF SUMMER As the weather beats down on us hard this June, we bring you relief in the form of The Summer Skin Haul—a skin special with over 90 steals for every bride to look and feel her best on D-day. And while we’re discussing great skin, my personal go-to is 10 litres of warer a day to keep hydrated and to make my skin glow from within. It’s something our cover star, Jacqueline Fernandez, swears by as well as she turns up the heat in the cool climes of London (pg 128), in breezy Anushree Reddy ensembles with a touch of Nirav Modi shine. Glossy hair, dewy skin, and perfect nails—the June-July issue is a glossary of all things that will help you achieve that dewy bridal look.…
FLIGHT OF FANCY Parrot prints and motifs with their vivacious colours and magnificient looks take flight this season. The tropical bird makes a bold statement fluttering between baubles, bags, and bag charms. Paradise comes calling in the form of curious birds perched atop Dolce&Gabbana’s top-handle straw bag and Prada’s bag charm with fluttering feather wings. Boucheron’s Nuri the cockatoo makes an appearance on a pink gold pendant set with diamonds, orange, yellow and pink sapphires, and pavé round tsavorites. Italian jeweller, Roberto Coin’s beady-eyed parrot ring set with diamonds, orange, blue, pink, and yellow sapphires, natural green garnet, and rubies steals our heart. Wing-shaped panels in rainbow hues, inspired by the 60s, steal the show as you slip into Sophia Webster’s fire bird leather sandals. Free-spirited and stylish, this is…
DIAL ‘P’ FOR PINK Sparkly, but with muted sophistication, millennial pink steals the show this season with its retro-kitsch personality. As the sober cousin of bubblegum and a close friend of rosé, it’s taking over the bridal accessories scene and making us experience summer weddings with rose-tinted glasses. ?…
WE FOUND LOVE Pop sensation, Rihanna boasts of an impressive resume when it comes to fashion collaborations, turning her innate sense of style into objects of desire. Cultivating her extraordinary eye for design, Chopard has partnered with the Barbadian popstar to create a dazzling Haute Joaillerie collection. Titled Rihanna Loves Chopard, the collection combines the singer’s vivacious personality and eclectic style with sparkling gemstones and diamonds. The Garden of Barbados collection is inspired by her home island and its colourful foliage, while the Carnival collection captures the vibrancy of festival life. Bringing light into our bridal boudoir is this necklace with rubies, blue, orange, and yellow sapphires, spinels, and tsavorites—all highlighted with turquoise beads for a dramatic impact. Rihanna, Chopard, and us—this is a love triangle meant to last the…
BEAUTY EXPERT PICKS Q:One haircare rule every bride must know? Start thinking ahead and treat your hair like it’s the most precious thing you own. Begin with treatments and regimes at least six months before D-day because healthy hair always looks beautiful. Q: What hairdos do you suggest for the wedding? A hairdo needs to be comfortable and flattering. Something that feels as good as on your head as it does when you run your fingers through it. Opt for our signature sewn hairdo. We don’t use pins and actually use needle and thread to stitch hair together. It’s super comfortable, there are no pins to irritate you, and it can last all day. You can later snip off the thread and have beautiful waves for the reception! Q: Tell…
Designer Decor Dish Create a ‘white wonderland’ in the Maldives with accents of peach and rose gold running throughout the setting. I also recommend an open tent to do justice to the location’s natural beauty. Decorate the structure with chiffon drapes and exotic, locally-sourced flowers. Add dashes of off-white and eggshell to the décor with elements like candles and votives. Don’t forget to highlight natural elements such as the palm trees and the sparkling white sand. Uplift the sit-down dinner table with crystals, candelabras, and flower wreathes. All-white plates, rose gold chargers, and jewelled napkin rings will lend to an idyllic mise en scène. For the menu, opt for the day’s freshest catch and Mediterranean cuisine. Only serve rosé champagne and white wine in crystal flutes with rose gold rims.…
