In India, weddings are a big affair. Today people have a very refined taste for the wedding costumes, decoration, make-up and accessories they need and the trends are changing. Earlier, weddings were a time when people chose to go for traditional styles but now they a lot of them are opting for indo-western designs. Also, the Indian wedding fashion is leaving a mark globally with its increasing popularity in different parts of the world. Thus an exhibition like Bride & Exhibition is a relevant platform.
