PV: Tips for brides and grooms to be? 

FP: FP: For the brides, I think every outfit should be different and it should be one from different designers because then it looks like you have done your five functions elaborately. 

SP: Tips for grooms- Avoid wearing stark pink, avoid too much makeup, Do not wear an extremely coordinated look- try to mix and match it. 

PV: The trends that brides should be avoiding this season? 

FP&SP: I think too much velvet. 

PV: What inspires your collection? 

FP&SP: Our collection is inspired by the modern Indian bride who wants to look different. The idea is that she is basically Persian, lost in Jaipur in the sheesh mahal and she becomes a bride there and that is how she styles herself. 

Tarun Tahiliani:

PV: Tell us about your association with the Vogue wedding show?

I think brides are becoming more and more secure so they don't feel like they need to be over done or over caked up and they are becoming more refined with their taste. Also, there is no pressure to be royal, all the cool kids want to be themselves. 

PV: What is in store for grooms? 

TT: All grooms wear very nice tailoring, men want to wear clothes in which they feel good and they want to dance in and look great.

1. Be Yourself 
2. Wear something comfortable do not try to be somebody you are not. 
3. Respect tradition and value things for their luxury and their finesse. 
4. And embroidery is not the answer to everything

TT: The finesse, the understated elegance, the way the designs fall on the body particularly. 

PV: What inspired your collection?

 I have had great teachers, like my own mother who loved beautiful things and for the love of beauty and things that are always going to wonderfully stand out.
