One of the most eagerly awaited and sought after destinations for festive and bridal shopping, Bridal Asia, celebrates its tenth anniversary this year with two evenings of haute couture fashion by India's leading names in bridal design, on the 4th and 5th October 2008 at the Hyatt Regency, New Delhi.

The evening of 4th October saw bridal finery by couturiers, Tarun Tahiliani, Shane & Falguni Peacock and Ritu Beri. Sub-continental bridal fashion were showcased by Honey Waqar of Pakistan and Maheen Khan of Bangladesh, both of whom are exclusively showing their collections only at Bridal Asia in India. Adding luxurious shimmer to Ritu Beri's bridal ensembles were jewels by Amrapali and to the Peacock’s line was Ghanasingh’s jewellery.

5th October was also a soiree of fashion with shows by stalwarts Pallavi Jaikishan, Meera & Muzaffar Ali, Raghavendra Rathore, Sabyasachi and Bhairavi Jaikishan. Queenie Dhody's jewels beautifully complemented Pallavi's bridal couture creations while Alpana Gujral's precious baubles with Meera & Muzaffar Ali's designs created sheer magic on the ramp.

Shital Bajaj’s jewellery added the glitter to Bhairavi’s creations. An apt celebration of the Great Indian Wedding breathtakingly captured over two elegant evenings of drama and poetry on the ramp. The ethereal Indian bride was beautifully showcased in various forms and design styles with each ensemble more striking than the last and almost every Indian technique being presented in a grand amalgamation of tradition, style, colors with modern day silhouettes and forms.

While India's leading models elegantly walked down the ramp for Bridal Asia, upping the occidental glam quotient were models Mehreen Syed and Nadia Hussain from Pakistan. Asha Kochhar and Harmeet Bajaj lent their expertise in choreography to make each presentation a stunning showcase of the myriads moods of the modern Indian bride while the event has been decorated by MAPSOR. 

Bringing the audience alive were known faces from Delhi and around, like the High Commissioner of Pakistan Shaid Malik and his wife Ghazala Malik, Sunil Sethi, Ayesha Thapar, Lali Singhania, Shabnam Singhal, Latika Khaneja, Mona Anand, Dilshad Sheikh, Queenie Dhody, Kavita Rathore, Cheena Vij, Alpana Gujral, Jona Roy, Neeva Jain, Amol Vadhera, Naina Balsavar, Shovana Narayan & Herebert Traxl, Payal Kapoor and many more.
