The Ritz-Carlton, Pune, known for its signature sophistication and gracious hospitality, redefined the art of weddings with its first-ever Wedding Showcase, an opulent two-day affair held on August 22 and 23, 2025. At its centre was the hotel’s Wedding Studio — a curated sanctuary where weddings are not merely planned but profoundly imagined.
Blending heritage with modern artistry, the showcase brought together the brilliance of Falguni Shane Peacock, pioneers of avant-garde bridal couture, and Farah Khan, one of India’s leading fine jewellery designers. Together, they unveiled an elevated vision of the Indian wedding — regal in inspiration yet contemporary in expression.
The highlight of the event was Raj Mahal Bijoux by Falguni Shane Peacock, a couture line inspired by royal grandeur and heirloom jewels. Drawing on palatial architecture and regal artistry, the collection transformed intricate details into modern bridal ensembles. Complementing this was Farah Khan Fine Jewellery’s new Bridal Collection, crafted in 18kt gold, natural diamonds, and enriched with emeralds, rubies, tanzanites, amethysts, and pearls — envisioned to make every bride radiant and unforgettable.
