Most urban couples who are planning to tie the knot are doing everything within their means to get the best of venues, designer wear, hospitality, etc. to make their special occasion a memorable one. At ‘Trousseau Week’, we attempt to provide all this and more under one roof, with the help of some of the best brands in the market.”

This year’s theme is Emerald Green and every aspect of the venue, The Collection, UB City will be decorated to complement this theme and add to the elegance and beauty of the event. ‘Trousseau Week 2013’ will provide the best of wedding couture, wedding planners, designers, photographers, banquets, tourism boards and international & national luxury brands, all on one platform.

The event will commence with a Grand Opening Night, which will witness a Haute Couture Fashion Show by one of the leading choreographers in the country today, Marc Robinson. The best international and national models from the Fashion fraternity will showcase the latest in bridal and groom wear from some of the most sought-after global luxury brands.

One of the biggest highlights of this event is participation by world-renowned Fashion Designer & Wedding Couturier, Tarun Tahiliani who will be presenting his much sought-after, distinctive wedding collection at ‘Trousseau Week 2013’. Those interested in meeting him personally to create bespoke wedding ensembles for their special occasion can take a prior appointment.

Another major attraction of this event will be the launch of AS Motiwala’s latest collection ‘ASM SHIEKHA’ in Bangalore. ‘Shiekha’ is an Arabic word, denoting ‘Princess/a lady with elegance and poise’. Only the best materials have been used to create each piece of this collection (VVS clarity F-colour diamonds/brilliant cut diamonds, Colombian emeralds, Burmese rubies, South Sea pearls and Radiant Cuts, among others). The most exclusive materials have been used, and therefore to maintain the opulence and rarity of each creation, this collection has been restricted to only a limited number of pieces. 18kt White, Yellow and Pink Gold have been used to craft this ethereal collection. Most of the pieces are hand-made and it has taken over 600 hours to achieve the design, casting, setting and final finishing of the product. AS Motiwala will be showcasing this exclusive collection from 22 to 24 November 2013, at Sublime Galleria.

AS Motiwala Fine Jewellery, recently reinforced its leadership position in the market by winning several coveted awards this year – ‘Luxury Retailer of the Year’ at the Economic Times Retail Awards 2013, ‘Global Achievers Award’ at the Asia Pacific International Awards 2013 and ‘The Editors’ Choice Award’ & ‘The Jury’s Choice Award’ for the ‘Diamond Vivaah Jewellery of the Year 2013 – All India’ at the Retail Jeweller India Awards 2013.
