Being at the India’s Best Wedding Makers Conclave was an incredible

luxury at weddings.”
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.
