Editor’s LETTER R E P T PLANN C E F AUTUMN I SPELLS LOVE. And this season, we fall in love yet again with our ethereally beautiful cover NG girl,Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Her external appeal can be intimidating for N U P U R M E H TA P U R I any woman, but her warm persona is quick to put anyone at ease. Having one of our favourite couturiers to come in and style the cover was an easy choice, (pg 188) as Sabyasachi and Aishwarya’s love affair with fashion has inspired many for years.Whether you’ve been on the market for months or engaged and eager, organising goes a long way in making the occasion memorable. Planners, photographers, caterers, florists, cake artists, makeup artists, and couturiers, we ask over 20 connoisseurs in what goes into creating the perfect wedding (pg 93).
