Innholdsfortegnelse for June 2017 i Brides Today

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.…

The result is an enchanting medley of delicate daytime jewels such as necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, and rings.

Each season in fashion we eagerly await collaborations that bring together creative minds in unprecedented ways. None comes close to the announcement of a partnership between New York’s heritage brand, Coach and Los Angeles’ luxe favourite, Rodarte. Unlike most collaborations with high street retailers the capsule collection brings forth an amalgamation of quality and design unique to both the designers. The idea was incepted when the two fashion labels were scheduled to showcase their collections on the same day at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) in 2016. “We got to know Stuart (Vevers) during NYFW and found that we had a lot in common and that friendship resulted in a desire to work together,” recall the Rodarte sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy. The label known for its signature embroideries, appliqué…

THE FINAL CHECKLIST Here’s the wedding breakdown. • Bride’s jewellery: DIACOLOR, New Delhi • Wedding Choreographer: Shiamak Davar • Wedding Caterers: Ritu Dalmia and Marut Sikka • Event Planner: Efactor4u • Bride’s Outfit: Ambika Jain and Divya Kapur, Dabiri Couture For Anushree Tongya, the next-generation of fine jewellery house DIACOLOR, designing and making jewellery for her own wedding happened quite matter-of-factly. Theirs was a sweet and simple love story. Anushree met her man, Varun Chaudhary, an entrepreneur, and his mother at an event and even exchanged business cards without least suspecting that they were destined to be together. From a proposal set against the soothing waters of Lake Pichola, Udaipur, to a grand wedding spanning five ceremonies and spread out over three days in the City of Lakes, the gradiose…

as time passes and trends come and go, few people and even fewer achievements remain etched in our memories. One such memory is when fashion doyenne, Carolina Herrera stunned her front-row guests at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Club when she sent a series of evening gowns down the runway some 35 years ago. And as A-listers such as Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger, and Bill Blass cheered her impeccable vision as it was translated on cloth, the designer was instantly catapulted into the limelight. That collection, an instant hit, was the kind of watershed moment many designers seek but fail to achieve. And regardless of whether we like it or not, that memory takes us back to an era when a fashion royal was born. Three-plus decades and many a celebrity fans later,…

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.

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…

The Literary weekend What could be more fitting for a midsummer literary festival than a look described by its creator as ‘magical fairytale couture’? Redken’s global creative director Guido Palau constructed these ‘wood-sprite waves’, woven with dried grasses, to lend a spirited yet romantic mood to the hair at Dior. The classic beachy curls of summers past are more textured, and pinned back for a soft ethereality. SR The art party ‘We wanted the makeup to create a fantasy feeling; Maria Grazia used the word “painterly”’, says Peter Philips, the creative and image director for Dior Make-Up. Such picture-perfect beauty requires the careful use of colour: brush pink blush across cheekbones, the Cupid’s bow, and the bridge of the nose. A stipple of creamy tinted balm applied to the centre…

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.…

She became ubiquitous on the social scene when the then Kate Middleton stepped out in a simple blue dress to announce her engagement. It was the Sapphire London dress from Daniella Helayel’s former label Issa, which then received orders amassing to millions and leading to the brand’s designs selling out in over 45 countries. After her depature from Issa, Helayel went on a two-year hiatus and came back refreshed with a new label in tow. This year, the designer enters Indian shores with a collaboration with Koovs, an online portal known for its international and local collaborations that capture the imagination of millennials. In an exclusive with BAZAAR BRIDE, Helayel reveals her plans for the country, what inspires her, and the biggest challenges she has faced in her career. TELL…

The future seems closer home as Nicholas Ghesquière unites sci-fireferences with the style of a savvy Parisian for Louis Vuitton’s spring-summer 2017 presentation at their soon-to-be launched flagship in Place Vendôme, Paris.

A parure of intricately woven jewellery with a modern and graphic twist, the collection pays tribute to the city of love but with Ghesquière’s futuristic twist. Reinterpreting the textile straps from Louis Vuitton’s historical trunks, the jewels from the Parure Sangle collection play on the idea of movement with designs that entwine around a woman’s body. Crafted in copper with a golden finish, these braided pieces mimic a knotted strap but with the laidback cool of a woven beach bag.…

Childhood sweethearts, best friends, and partners-in-crime are just a few of the many ways to describe our new couple crush: Sahej and Pratiek. They first met through common friends 10 years ago when they were still teenagers, even though they studied at different institutions.

Fast forward to today, Sahej is the founder of The FairyDust Studio —a creative label designing lifestyle accessories for women, whilst Pratiek is the director at watch giant, Kapoor Watch Company. The couple tied the knot in a grand yet intimate series of celebrations that ensured each function was unique and every experience…

When you think of “natural” or “sustainable” beauty, a manufacturing giant like Oriflame is likely to come to mind. As environmental concerns gain mileage around the world, the brand strives to bolster a growing business that is in harmony with nature. Dr Natasha Williams O’Hanlon, the sustainability advisor for the beauty brand sheds light on the need for the beauty industry to significantly reduce its ecological footprint and how to lead by example. “Oriflame has a commitment to become a sustainable company and what I really wanted to do was to actually develop a range that embodies sustainability. So, for me, sustainability in a product is about looking at natural, ethical, and environmentally responsible products. The brand already knows how to develop natural products. We needed to build a range…
