This one is a special post because it's Confessionz of a closet's first wedding story. Featuring bride, Sumaiya Ali and groom, Kamran Khan. They met at work, instantly fell in love and said, "Kabool hai" after 2yrs of dating. I stole these shots from her personal album because I thoroughly enjoyed stalking her wedding album. And Sumaiya being the darling that she is, was more than happy to share her wedding images with contact details of her makeup artist, designer and wedding photographer. I'll be more than happy to share the same with you guys, drop your query and email id in the comments and I shall get back to you :)
Coming back to their nikah.. it was planned by both, Sumaiya and Kamran. A lot of research went into zeroing down the outfits for the wedding, designer, wedding photographer, and bride's make-up artist. Sumaiya's outfit was inspired from a Pakistani designer's creation. Kamran customized his outfit keeping in mind Sumaiya's Lehanga. Her makeup was just right, no cakey base or glittering eyelids. Their wedding pictures turned out so dreamy and perfect that I fell in love with weddings. Hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did and cannot wait to share more such posts with you guys!

Immensely applauded for his Sawariya collection, Sumit Sawhney gave IFFD’s Fashion Summit a pious end. Overwhelmed by the response, he commented on the occasion, “The colors that I have used in the collection depict pure love and unrelenting beauty. The idea was to reinvent the sanctity of that era and reflect it through the delicate jewelry without losing its essence. I loved designing this collection and I am glad that the jewelry was appreciated and liked by the audience.”
The designer fused hand painted miniatures over gemstones that are framed with real kundan.Handcrafted in silver with precious and semiprecious gemstones with 22kt Gold layering, Sumit Sawhney passionately recreated the era of deep attraction and pure love with this collection. The innovative jewelry designer used festive colors like, red, the color of passion and love, lapis blue and turquoise, color of Krishna. Stone carvings of the idol in red coral framed and ornamented around gemstones had a dramatic charm to them and created a majestic aura. The collection also included a few pieces portraying Kanha or Bal Krishna in oxidized frames.

Last Week..Delhi witnessed Tarun Tahiliani's Glamorous Couture Exposition-'The Jewel Box ' at DLF Emporio
The Venue itself sepaks of Luxury and the concept of Couture Exposition by Tarun Tahiliani and Jewel Box by wasAIS Glasxperts like the PERFECT combination of Royalty , Luxury and Class..
India has always associated with the Concept of Couture with Indian Bridal/Wedding wear
This Couture Outfit in the Special Glass Box is designed by tarun and embellished with Swaroski's thousands of Swaroski Crystals.. and Behind this you see the "Jewel-Box" where all the other Couture Pieces by the designer were displayed..
It is this philosophy that continues to shape our view of luxury and has guided our vision for this collection.“Bridal is about the bride. It shouldn’t be about trends. Women are still making polarized choices when it comes to couture, but clearly they must be true to who they really are,” says Tarun Tahiliani emphatically as he discloses nuances of his new collection.
Speaking about the Exposition, Tarun Tahiliani added “The Tarun Tahiliani Couture Exposition has been made possible due to the support of our partners and I would like to thank AIS Glasxperts, DLF Emporio, SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, Diageo – Johnny Walker Gold Label Reserve, Forevermark, VU Technologies, Entertainment Design Company and JH Jewellers for each bringing their offerings and area of expertise to the exposition and ensuring a true luxury experience for the viewer.”
