The bride, Radhika Merchant, was also wearing Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla along with family jewels that her grandmother, mother and sister wore to their weddings.
Rhea Kapoor, who styled Radhika for her wedding festivities, said that Radhika's ensemble is AJSK's "intricate interpretation of 'Panetar' - the Gujarati tradition of brides wearing red and white."
"The ghagra glitters with three borders of red, Its workmanship is the finest amalgamation of Naqshi, Saadi and Zardozi symmetrically hand-embroidered in intricate floral booties that are lavishly decorated with stones, sequins, tamba tikkis and a touch of red Resham," Kapoor's post on Instagram read.
