Wedding Affair: Where wedding planning meets luxury lifestyle, bringing expertise, trends and timeless inspiration to every bride and groom-to-be for over 25 years.
In 1999, when the Indian wedding industry was still finding its modern voice, Mr. Rajnish Rathi saw a gap. Weddings were grand, traditions were rich, but there wasn’t one reliable space that brought everything together: planning, fashion, jewellery, beauty, destination and evolving trends, under one roof. That vision became Wedding Affair.
What started as an ambitious idea soon grew into one of India’s pioneering wedding magazine platforms. Mr. Rathi believed that weddings were not just events; they were narratives; stories of culture, identity and celebration. As he has often expressed, “A wedding is not just about rituals; it is about preserving emotions, heritage and personal style in a way that lasts way beyond the wedding day.” And that thought continues to define us.

Filling the Gap in the Wedding Industry
Over the past 25+ years, Wedding Affair hasn’t just reported on weddings; we’ve actively filled a vacuum that once existed in the industry: Brides and grooms needed clarity, direction, and inspiration grounded in expertise, not guesswork. From decoding intricate rituals to curating the latest bridal couture trends, we made it easier for couples to navigate the overwhelming world of wedding planning. We became a guide, a confidante and often the first reference point in their journey.
As the first wedding magazine in India, our approach has always been holistic. We understood early on that planning a wedding isn’t about selecting a venue or picking an outfit; it’s about creating an experience. That’s why our pages have consistently brought together planners, designers, makeup artists, jewellers, photographers and hospitality experts into one cohesive narrative.

Beyond Planning: A Complete Wedding Universe
One of the reasons Wedding Affair has sustained its authority is simple: we never limited ourselves. Yes, we talk about wedding planning in depth. But we also dive into bridal makeups, skincare routines for the months leading up to the big day, trending hairstyles, statement bridal jewellery pieces and fashion forecasts that define each season. Our beauty and self-care segments are crafted with the understanding that confidence is just as important as couture.
Then there’s the world of destinations. Over the years, we have explored India’s most breathtaking wedding venues, from royal palaces in Rajasthan to serene beachside resorts in the South, while also spotlighting international hotspots perfect for destination weddings and dreamy honeymoons.
We don’t just suggest places; we provide real insights. What works best for which guest size? What weather should you plan around? What makes a venue logically seamless? That level of detail is what transforms a good wedding magazine into an authoritative one.
Growing With the Times
Twenty-five years is a long journey, especially in an industry that evolves as rapidly as weddings do. Trends shift, digital platforms expand and reader expectations grow. And we grew with them.
While our print editions continue to hold their charm, something tangible that brides love flipping through during planning sessions, Wedding Affair has significantly expanded its digital presence. Today, our bi-monthly digital editions ensure that inspiration is always just a click away.
We understand that modern couples plan differently. They research online, compare options and save ideas instantly. By strengthening our digital footprint, we’ve made sure our expertise remains accessible, relevant and immediate. Whether it’s through curated articles, trend forecasts or in-depth features, our goal remains the same: to offer credible, beautifully presented information in one place.
As Mr. Rathi once said, “ Authority is not built by staying the same; it is built by evolving without losing your foundation.” That philosophy continues to guide every issue we produce.

Authority Built on Experience
What truly sets Wedding Affair apart after 25+ years is experience. We’ve closely witnessed the transformation of Indian weddings: from traditional multi-day affairs rooted strictly in custom to contemporary celebrations that blend global influence with cultural depth.
We’ve seen bridal fashion move from classic reds to experimental pastels and back again with modern twists. We’ve documented the rise of intimate weddings, the boom of destination celebrations and the growing focus on personalised storytelling.
Through it all, we have remained consistent in one thing: credibility. Our editorial approach is rooted in research, industry connections and a deep understanding of what Indian couples truly seek. That’s what makes a wedding magazine trusted. Not just glossy pages, but grounded expertise.
The Road Ahead
Completing 25+ years isn’t just a milestone; it’s a responsibility. A responsibility to keep raising the bar, to keep learning, to keep adapting, to continue being the space where tradition meets trends and inspiration meets practicality.
As the wedding industry continues to expand in scale and creativity, Wedding Affair remains committed to being at its forefront, bringing readers insight that is relevant, refined and reliable.
