Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 2: India's Best Wedding Makers (IBWM) 2026 concluded on a high at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, bringing together leading names from India's luxury wedding and celebrations ecosystem for two days of conversations, recognition and celebration.

Curated in association with Copper Events, a luxury wedding planning company, the conclave culminated in the IBWM Honours, a prestigious evening celebrating the country's leading wedding experts and businesses; recognising their contribution to shaping the future of Indian luxury weddings.

Hosted by Amyra Dastur, the IBWM Honours recognised the best and most influential names across India's wedding and celebrations landscape. The evening saw the presence of Tiger Shroff, who joined the proceedings for the unveiling of The Great Indian Wedding Book 6.0, marking the launch of the latest edition of the annual publication that features the best of the luxury wedding trends, ideas and innovations.

Speaking about the launch, Atul Pandey, Publisher, The Great Indian Wedding Book, said, 'The Great Indian Wedding Book has always been about documenting Indian weddings at their very best and bringing together the people, ideas, craftsmanship and businesses behind them. With Edition 6.0, we wanted to create a stronger reflection of how the Indian wedding has evolved today, while continuing to showcase the exceptional talent that makes this industry distinctive. Launching the new edition at IBWM was particularly relevant because the book and the conclave share the same purpose: to give India's wedding industry the recognition and platform it deserves.'

The celebrations also witnessed the presence of Mouni Roy and Wamiqa Gabbi, who presented the honours during the evening. Their presence, alongside a strong gathering of wedding planners, designers, hospitality leaders, entertainers, photographers, creators and luxury brands, added to the scale of the celebration.

Commenting on the successful conclusion of IBWM 2026, Prateek Tandon, Co-founder, India's Best Wedding Makers, said, 'The idea behind the IBWM Conclave is to bring the wedding industry together on one platform, not only to celebrate its best work, but also to have meaningful conversations about where the business is headed. The scale, creativity and influence of Indian weddings continue to grow, and so does the need for stronger collaboration across planners, hospitality, design, entertainment, fashion and every other part of this ecosystem. This edition demonstrated the strength and diversity of the industry and reinforced our belief that IBWM can play an important role in shaping its next phase of growth.'
