Bollywood Brides and their Wedding Look

Our country saw many high profile Bollywood divas donning the bridal avatar. Naturally, all eyes were fixed on their bridal looks and they didn’t disappoint. The Bollywood bridal looks of this year were not about trends, but more about individualism and very close to the each starlet’s personality and ideals.

Each bride had her own style crafted with finesse, elegance and an attempt to stay true to her traditional style. While some donned the dreamy silhouettes, others opted for the traditional nine-yard garb. Let’s take a look at the Bollywood brides.

Kareena Kapoor
It was one of the most talked about weddings in India ever. As Kareena jokingly but rightly pointed out - "Even Obama knows about Saif-Kareena wedding, and the parliament should discuss it". So, there is no surprise that it makes to our list.

Kareena looked resplendent not just on her wedding but also on the celebrations around it. On her Sangeet, she was glowing in a yellow-gold lehenga designed by her best friend Manish Malhotra. With heavy jewellery and her hair neatly set in a bun, the look made her a sure head turner.

Kareena stayed simple in a red and green salwar kameez on the day of her marriage registration. Minimal makeup and naturally glowing skin did the trick for her. Exchanging her wedding vows in her mother-in-law’s gharara with heavy jewellery and maang-tika brought forth a combination of regal poise and classic charm. A deep burgundy gharara for the reception spelt the old-world charm making her a true royal bride.

Vidya Balan
Vidya’s wedding was a non-glamorous affair sans any Bollywood celebrity. The wedding was a mix of South Indian and Punjabi traditions with littlehoo-ha.

The pretty bride stayed true to her signature Sabyasachi style. She changed her outfits thrice during the wedding. She wore a silk mustard coloured sari with a pink blouse matching Siddharth’s yellow kurta and pink turban.

After the wedding, she changed into a red colour Sabyasachi sari and the Punjabi-chooda (bangles). Siddharth wore an elegant white and yellow kurta with Kolhapuri slippers.

Esha Deol
The darling daughter of Dharmendra and Hema had a starry Sangeet ceremony where Esha wore an orange Rocky S outfit while her fiancé Bharat Takhtani, wore a blue sherwani.

Her marriage was a traditional South Indian wedding in a temple. She wore a red lehenga made of three kanjivaram saris. Traditional gold jewellery completed her wedding look. Bharat wore a white sherwani with zardozi work. Hema Malini’s close friend designer Neeta Lulla designed the beautiful outfits.

Genelia D'Souza
Genelia and Riteish had a typical Maharashtrian-style wedding. The couple wore the traditional headgears. She wore a red sari designed by Neeta Lulla.

The Sangeet was a Bollywood studded affair with Karan Johar as the master of ceremony. Genelia wore a pretty white lehenga designed by Manish Malhotra. Another pre-wedding ceremony saw her in a casual sari dancing to the beats of dhol.

Lisa Ray
Lisa married her long-standing boyfriend Jason Dehlvi in an exclusive wedding ceremony in Napa Valley. She wore a slim-fitted white gown designed by Wendell Rodricks. It was a georgette gown with satin-silk trail encrusted with crystals, delicate daisy petals, glowing pearls and shiny sequins.

The sangeet ceremony was loud and more Bollywood-like and she wore a red anarkali designed by Tarun Tahiliani. Raghavendra Rathore designed Jason’s outfits for all the functions.
