Destination Wedding

While a wedding-themed exhibition is a regular feature on the roster of events in the region these days, seven years ago it wasn’t so. That’s when Ludhiana-based entrepreneurs Maninder Singh Sethi and his wife Anupreet decided to put together a one-stop shop bridal exposition that addresses wedding purchases — from ensembles to trousseau packers,event managers,designers et al. As ‘Wedding Asia’ enters yet another edition — it’s now held in Ludhiana,Chandigarh and Delhi — the Sethis are looking to take it overseas. The first edition of Wedding Asia – World Tour,will be held in Dubai in February 2013 followed by Macau and Bangkok. “These cities also boast of a large Indian population and we wanted a platform which encapsulates the essence of the Indian trousseau and bridal wear,” explains Maninder currently gearing up for the Chandigarh edition to be held from August 3 to 5.
