Brides Today May 2017 | Page 3

Editor’s letter ART OF LIVING NU P U R M E H TA P U R I A candlelit table for two, an array of delectable nibbles, and a lifetime of memories made over glasses of merlot—date nights are always special. This May, we take dating to a whole new level with specially curated activities for couples. Take a culinary tour across the globe that promises to cover the shortest distance to your loved one’s heart (pg 102). The scorching weather often leads me to the cool corridors of art galleries to soak in the works of the hottest new artists while I muse about the correlation between art and fashion. Taking art out of the galleries, we explore themes and moods that offer an experimental look at wedding ensembles (pg 52), accessories (pg 66), and even makeup (pg 87). We revisit the golden era of cinema with the effortlessly beautiful Shraddha Kapoor playing muse as she dons a sultry-yet-innocent persona (pg 130). We also travel down under to the isles of Sri Lanka, the gem island, to discover a world of brilliant jewellery on offer (pg 32). Tokens of love can manifest in many forms and it’s the perfect month to indulge your favourite couple with some luxuries (pg 164). Closing this issue, my thoughts go to an “One should either be a work of art, or wear a Chanel bag. work of art.” And this issue we plan to do a bit of both. ■ Follow us @BazaarBrideIn and @nupurmehta18 on Instagram; and @BazaarBrideIn on Twitter and www.facebook.com/HarpersBazaarBrideIndia AND DETAILS.
