ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD. High on team spirit
and a never give-up attitude, summer 2016 seems to be a new
innings for both the Indian Cricket team and team HARPER’S
BAZAAR BRIDE! Both have eyes set on gold. Keeping up with
the constant chant for India, we open newer avenues in couture,
jewellery, and décor to keep you rooted. Temple jewellery, marigold
accents, and traditional saris form the focus of our cover story with modelof-the-moment,Archana Akil Kumar (pg 138), while the nation’s new heartthrobs
cricketer Yuvraj Singh and actor Hazel Keech reveal all about their love in a
romantic rendezvous with us (pg 60).Take cue from the opulence of jewels
adorned by erstwhile Indian royalty from across the country to build your own
majestic trousseau (pg 31), and dip into a selection of charming bridal extras that are
gilded and gold, and glittery and bold for all your special occasion needs (pg 78). Fashion
meets travel, as we round up the most luxurious properties for your stylish honeymoon.
Designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee to Karl Lagerfeld, there’s something for every kind of
bride (pg 116), and then, we present curated gifting guides that would make the entire bridal
brigade bauble-happy (pg 172).With plenty to look forward to this season (big cricket wins, included),
here’s wishing you a summer of love, passion, and creativity. ■
