Inside India’s Boutique Hotels Winning Hearts of Young Couples

Boutique hotels have become the preferred choice for young couples who seek intimacy, thoughtful design, and experiences that feel unique.

Personalization at Play: Designing Weddings That Tell a Love Story

Gone are the days when weddings were copy-paste spectacles — grand, yes, but often indistinguishable from one another. Today’s couples are rewriting the rules, infusing every detail of their celebration with meaning, memory, and a touch of mischief. This is the era of personalization at play — where design becomes storytelling, and every corner whispers a piece of your love story. Think of it as the most beautiful form of autobiography — told not through words, but through experiences. A monogram that borrows from your initials and your favourite travel destination. Table settings that carry poems exchanged during your first year together. A cocktail named after the city where you said “I love you.” This new wave of personalization isn’t just aesthetic — it’s emotional architecture....
