Audrey Hepburn once said, “I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong, I believe that happy girls are the prettiest, I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” That is the modern Indian brides. She’s about making her bold choices, personal style, and the needlessness to conform to convention. She strives towards shaping her life story and journey in a manner that she deems more comfortable. She is determined to choose happiness over anything else. The modern Indian bride goes beyond the norm in every way. Malabar Gold and Diamonds latest campaign draws on these very ideas as it follows the journey of brides across the length and breadth of India, who lead the way in their own unique style. “She's not just the showstopper anymore, she's the showrunner as well. For she's the new-age bride of India. With her hands firmly behind the wheel of her own journey, she decides how her story is going to be. While she is paving her way to happiness, she is also inspiring everyone with her confidence. This is her moment, and she's going to have her say. From here on, she's going to #ShowTheWay,” they write.
