7 reasons you should visit the Vogue Wedding Atelier 2026
Timepieces are treated as jewellery, with Charles Oudin’s Parisian heritage dating to 1797 and Porte Bonheur’s diamond-set designs that double as bracelets offering a reason to see horology as adornment up close.
Those accustomed to bottomless bags may find Judith Leiber’s crystal-covered minaudières a test of discipline, although practicality is hardly the point of a clutch shaped like a lobster or lipstick. If crystalware is on the moodboard, Baccarat has the pieces for the ceremonies and the home you build afterwards.
4. The groom’s wardrobe extends beyond the sherwani
Grooms move across dress codes and silhouettes with the same fluency as brides, and the new menswear landscape is building around it.
Kanakavalli’s veshtis woven in Kanchipuram silk and Kunal Rawal’s layered kurtas, bandhgalas and embroidered jackets suit ceremonies where traditional attire is expected.
For cocktail evenings, Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna offer sharply cut suits and evening jackets. Sarah & Sandeep’s Triunity concept uses cross-pintucking and geometric construction across bandhgalas and tuxedos, with separates that will hold a place in your wardrobe long after the wedding is over.
Ridhi Mehra brings Persian and Mughal motifs to wedding couture with kurta sets and sherwanis designed alongside her women’s collection—ideal for those who want some coordination without matching motif for motif.
5. Spotlight on heritage and limited edition saris
The beauty of Kanchipuram silk, real zari woven through Banarasi saris and handspun khadi is best seen up close. You can feel whether Kanchipuram silk will hold the pleats you want or turn over a Banarasi sari to inspect the workmanship on the back.
Walk through Kanakavalli’s collections in jewel tones and softer pastels, Tilfi’s saris developed with master weavers in Varanasi and Shravan Kummar’s handspun 100-count khadi to find your next heirloom.
6. Engaging masterclasses with celebrity experts
The experts leading the masterclasses at Vogue Wedding Atelier 2026 have played a part in some of the country’s most viral celebrations, giving them first-hand knowledge of what survives the actual day.
Makeup artist Namrata Soni, stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania, photographer Joseph Radhik and wedding designer Devika Narain’s experience covers the months of preparation and the wedding itself–including which ideas work better in theory.
The closer a wedding gets, the louder the advice about skin, food and hormones becomes. Dr Jaishree Sharad and Rashi Chowdhary sort the useful information from the pre-wedding noise, from when to begin skin treatments to how gut health and hormones can affect the way you feel. A guided scent trial by Ajmal Dubai also gives fraying nerves a fragrant reprieve.
7. Vogue Café makes its India debut
Vogue Café gives the formal business of wedding planning somewhere to relax. Its first Indian edition will open inside the Taj Palace, with rugs underfoot, hand-painted murals and jaliwork throughout the space. Stop by for coffee and baked treats between appointments or stay longer for intimate conversations with Sara Tendulkar and Gauravi Kumari. Previous editions in London, Milan, Paris and New York have welcomed Anna Wintour, Pharrell Williams, Paloma Elsesser, Tory Burch and Alex Consani.
