In India, weddings are far more than ceremonies, they are identity statements. They serve as milestones where heritage, aspiration, and design come together with the grandeur of global luxury. With over 32 lakh weddings every year and an industry valued at nearly Rs. 4.7 lakh crore, weddings are not just personal celebrations but the very heartbeat of India's cultural economy. They also stand as the ultimate stage for luxury, shaping and influencing couture houses, jewelers, hotels, automotive brands, and spirits companies alike.
Resonating with the opulence of India's wedding industry, The Great Indian Wedding Book and its flagship annual platform, the India's Best Wedding Makers (IBWM) Conclave, stand as both a showcase of excellence and a benchmark of credibility, filling a long-standing gap for an authoritative platform that honours creativity and innovation with objectivity. More than recognition, they offer permanence documenting the finest talent, setting new standards, and elevating Indian weddings onto the global stage of luxury and influence. Much like cinema has its festivals, fashion its runways, and literature its prizes, Indian weddings now have their own true marker of prestige.
