Harper’s Bazaar Bride has indeed become the go-to magazine in the country for young, contemporary brides and the luxury wedding sector, and as it embraces another year of absolute indulgence, Editor Nupur Mehta Puri outlines, “It has been quite the journey, and the next step is to make a mark in the digital space as well. We have projects already in the pipeline for Harper’s Bazaar Bride to branch out from print solely to a wider digital medium.” Another important milestone achieved this year is that the magazine now is distributed in the UK. “We also aim at a more international receptivity in the market. Distribution in UK was a natural first step because of the strong NRI community. Next up is another large wedding expo at an international destination.”

The third year will bring forth more specialized luxury wedding content, while the primary focus of the magazine will still remain the same. From Indian to international couturiers to top experts from the wedding planning business, Harper’s Bazaar Bride continues to be well received by the fashion and luxury fraternity across the globe.
