January being renowned as the seasonal buying and browsing period for Summer brides and grooms, Aashni + Co Wedding Show will curate the latest bridal, occasion wear and couture collections from the top tier of the Indian design spectrum, with accessibility being key to the show. Not just judicious brides and grooms to be, the event will appeal to stylistas, tastemakers and the aspirational alike.

Aashni + Co Wedding Show is presented by one of the UK’s leading Indian fashion influencers, Aashni Shah, Founder and Creative Director of Aashni + Co, a high fashion, Indian concept store located in Notting Hill, London. Aashni says, “I’m delighted to be presenting to the UK some of India’s most coveted designers, curating them through a luxe exhibition concept and retail platform of this scale.
It was imperative to feature the right mix of designers and fashion houses, from older, established A-listers and luxury designers to the most hyped and desirable new generation talent. It was important to keep the aesthetic and experience for visitors fresh and on trend, with a wide range for visitors to choose from. And of, course bringing the best of Indian bridal and couture fashion and the creators themselves to London. It is time people stopped travelling all the way to India to find their wedding outfit – we wanted to bring the best of India’s bridal to our doorstep.”
