For its inaugural edition in Indore, Vogue Wedding Atelier came to the Marriott Indore hotel with an evening centred on legacy. Hosted by Rochelle Pinto, Head of Editorial Content, alongside friends of Vogue, Simran Grewal and Disha Kasliwal, the gathering moved between jewellery, craft, family rituals and the values people inherit as much as the objects they keep.
Florals by Ritika & Co. filled the room, while gifting partner Ahujasons presented finely woven pashmina shawls with ikat-inspired motifs and delicate zari work. Skincare partner RAS, India’s first farm-to-face luxury skincare brand, brought its botanical approach to skincare through formulations that champion natural extracts backed by scientific research.
The evening’s jewellery partner, GoluBhai Badalia Diamond, brought its own three-generation legacy into the room. Known for their exceptional diamonds and meticulous craftsmanship, the house creates jewellery intended to be worn today and handed forward tomorrow.
Across the room, guests wore legacy in their own way. We saw it in polki chokers, which sat alongside emerald necklaces and layered pearls. Antique gold collars, diamond rivière necklaces and heirloom bracelets paired with embroidered jackets, handwoven saris, brocade drapes and contemporary separates. Delicate minaudières, woven top-handle bags and sculptural evening clutches accompanied looks that felt collected over time.
For entrepreneur Disha Vasuwa, legacy came down to what a person leaves behind in spirit as much as in objects. “For me, kindness and glamour are something I’d like to leave behind,” she said. A creative strategist and cultural commentator, Grewal took that thought further, describing legacy as something that grows with every generation. “You add to what you receive and build on it,” she said. “The background you come from, and then you add to that story.”
Family values sat at the centre of legacy for Shweta Mittal, who spoke about consistency and the lessons learnt at home as what endures the longest. Shweta Kedia held those intangibles alongside something more tangible, the jewellery passed down by her grandmother, pieces she hopes will one day reach her own grandchildren. “Legacy is a bit of what we receive and give,” she said. “I would also like to create something for the future generations that they can be proud of.”
