For the past three years, The Wedding Collective has showcased at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Our annual date with all things weddings carries on this year too, but for the very first time, we’ve added a destination to our calendar. The Wedding Collective makes its Hyderabad debut on the 29th and 30th of August at District 150 by Quorum, with a fresh, new edit, curated especially for the city.

“I’m delighted to see The Wedding Collective grow from strength to strength. Following its third edition in Mumbai, Hyderabad marks an exciting new chapter for us,” says Isha Ambani, Executive Director, Reliance. “With its rich legacy of patronage and appreciation of design and luxury, the city felt like a natural next destination. I’m confident the experience will resonate deeply with its discerning clientele.”

For The Wedding Collective team, Hyderabad was a no-brainer given the city’s history of design, fashion, jewellery and luxury. Plus, the encouragement of our long-term clients and friends, who wanted the country’s most luxurious show to pop-up in their backyard.

“When it came to deciding a second city for The Wedding Collective, Hyderabad was the unanimous choice. The city is known for its design loving clientele, a love of luxury, and an appreciation for well-curated experiences, which are all hallmarks of our show. We’re thrilled to be here and to be a part of the city’s festive calendar,” adds Priya Tanna, President, The Right Side.

This showcase wouldn’t be possible without the support of our long-time friend Pinky Reddy, who graciously opens the exhibition for us. Here’s more of what we have in store for our first visit down South:

A city-focused curation

The Wedding Collective in Hyderabad has been created keeping in mind the discerning requirements of its audience.
