Radhika Merchant’s gorgeous fresh floral dupatta

If you did not witness the thousands of pre-wedding ceremonies of the Ambanis, you were living under a rock. Radhika Merchant tied the knot with Anant Ambani in Mumbai in July of this year. And what was more extravagant than their stunning wedding rituals, were Radhika’s ethereal and dreamy outfits with one ensemble taking over every woman’s Pinterest boards. Radhika wore a custom Anamika Khanna yellow lehenga-choli for her haldi ceremony, enhanced with floral threadwork. While floral designs are very common among brides, Radhika went all out with a fresh floral tagar jaal dupatta by Floral Art by Srishti Kapur which was made with 90 real marigold flowers intricately sewn together. She complemented her ensemble with matching fresh floral jewellery as well. This has inspired many brides in the country to emulate this fresh floral look for their weddings.

Sobhita Dhulipala’s traditional bajuband

When it comes to Sobhita Dhulipala, tradition is always synonymous with her. She married Naga Chaitanya on December 4 in Hyderabad. At the centre of her stunning ensembles was the traditional bajuband which was a staple throughout her wedding festivities. On her big day, she paired a stunning kanjeevaram saree with a vintage old bajuband featuring embedded colourful stones, intricate enamel work, and gemstones. Even for her Gowri Puja ceremony, she elevated her look by wearing a gold pattu saree and an elegant bajuband decorated with strings of pearls, Kundan studs, and gold accents. Her impeccable fashion choices prove that tradition can be both fun and trendsetting.

Simplicity lies in Aditi Rao Hydari’s signature style and her wedding look highlighted this approach of hers. Aditi tied the knot with actor Siddharth in a secret ceremony at the historic 400-year-old Sri Ranganayakaswamy Temple in Telangana on September 16. Now, instead of decking up with extravagant mehendi designs, she chose minimalist crescent moon alta designs on her hands and feet. This design beautifully complemented her rich red bralette-style blouse and lehenga paired with a dupatta featuring a golden border.

Shweta Kapur’s stunning braid accessory

Jewellery is one of the most important highlights of any wedding look and designer Shweta Kapur’s mehendi accessory was just that. She was drenched in a long parandi featuring gold, polki and kundan pieces like rings, earrings and necklaces put together to create a stunning statement braid accessory. She got hitched to Raghav Gupta early this month in New Delhi.
