Manchester: The North's Bridal Capital

Manchester's British Asian community is one of the most vibrant in the UK — from Rusholme's Curry Mile to Cheetham Hill's fabric shops, this city knows how to celebrate. And when it comes to wedding jewellery, Manchester brides are setting trends that London follows.

Rusholme to Didsbury: A Tale of Two Aesthetics

The beauty of Manchester's British Asian wedding scene is its range. A bride from Rusholme might want a full traditional set that would make her dadaji proud. A bride from Didsbury might want a single solitaire that works from boardroom to baraat. Most want elements of both.
