According to Bandana Tewari, Fashion Features Director, Vogue India, “The Ludhiana ladies are delightfully fashionable. They make no bones about their love of fashion and seem to embrace international and domestic trends with equal ease. Their happy and optimistic personalities are clearly attracted to all things bright and beautiful with some extra attention on bold, statement jewellery and clothes with dollops of shine. There is also a trend towards looser bohemian silhouettes which I thought was wonderful given their culture of dance and songs- a big part of what makes them such happy people. Of course, like most fashion lovers, they are also very aware of the season’s best bags and shoes and aspire to have them in their closets. So there is no doubt that the Ludhiana bride wants the very best the fashion world can offer her, especially on her big day. Since we are quite confident she will not compromise on aesthetics and quality, the Vogue Wedding Show will bring, amongst many other key bridal services, private consultations from the very best of bridal designers like Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Tarun Tahiliani, JJ Valaya, Anju Modi, Shantanu and Nikhil, Gaurav Gupta, Gaurang and Monisha Jaising. We are there to ensure that the bride is at her best on her wedding day.”

Speaking on the evolving trend of wedding trousseau for grooms, designer JJ Valaya adds, “The residents of Punjab are cultured, affluent and fine purveyors of luxury. They are amongst the top 5 communities that actively patronize Couture and Bridal collections. Forty percent of my turnover comes from menswear. That’s where the real evolution has come.”
