Editor’s LETTER N U PUR M EHTA PURI Charlotte Olympia bag. BRIDAL BRUSH IT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN a proposal or three for me to finally agree to settle down, but that moment of saying YES will always be close to my heart. It’s in this one masterstroke that you agree to embark on a jour ney as husband-wife, and we at BAZAAR BRIDE endeavour to make it a special one. For our marriage of art and fashion special, we rope in Amit Aggarwal and Amit Hansraj from the label AM.IT to paint an eclectic palette for the girl of the moment,Athiya Shetty, as she gears for her debut (pg 172).This issue art appropriates fashion as creative minds meet to create thought provoking and fabulous collaborations that ensure the uniqueness of your trousseau (pg 162). Delve into the darkness with big occasion baubles (pg 29) or take a breezy, bright route to summer jewels (pg 190); there’s no keeping the bride away from her bijoux. Break the rules as you bag yourself a one-of-a-kind jewel piece from Buccellati’s Art Collection.The theme runs strong throughout giving the creative brides a wide palette of abstract accessories (pg 72), artistic home essentials (pg 90), and decadent wedding décor (pg 82).The thinking bride balances the classic with the current, as she picks from the hip new brigade of bridal designers and couture IMAGE COURTESY: CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA; ANYA HINDMARCH; KOTUR; JIMMY CHOO. monarchs (pg 48). So give in to a lifetime of adventures, and say yes, yes, yes.To love. Anya Hindmarch bag; Kotur bag; Jimmy Choo bag (from left).
