When celeb brides proved the best vows are exchanged with a red attire

A red attire has long been at the fore as the ideal bridal trousseau. Life sure has options to give and has blurred the lines by letting ivory and pink also have their moment. But, we highly doubt this hue will reserve a backseat, it swept many hearts, and floors infinite times. Need we remind you of celeb brides who swore by all things red?

It was in November 2018 that Lake Como was lit with opulent details when actress Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh tied the knot with their akin present around. The intimate wedding had the groom clad in a Sabyasachi Mukerjee ivory-hued kurta set, while the bride dressed in a red Kanjeevaram saree that was picked from Bengaluru’s renowned store, The House of Angadi that remains a hub for wedding shopping. The Advaya collection’s brocade drape entailed zari gold threads and had the motifs of a bird. It held reverence to her roots, she was the perfect Konkani bride. Her accessories complemented her regal saree through jhumkas, choker, maang tikka, and kadas. The Bajirao Mastani actress brought her love for Kohl-rimmed and smokey eye makeup along with matte skin that created the perfect base.

The Sindhi-Punjabi wedding had the couple clad in Sabyasachi Mukherjee red lehenga and Kanjeevaram sherwani. Deepika's gold-embroidered ensemble was teamed with a veil that consisted of a border that read, 'Sada Saubhagyavati Bhava' in Devnagri. The dupatta that bore heavy work in gold called for accessories that perform the same magic. From maang tikka to layered necklaces, multiple finger rings, and choora, it had it all looking majestic.

The Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein actress has always been the one celebrating handloom sarees and her wedding number made for a glorious inspiration. Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi sealed the deal one afternoon in Mumbai. The bride chose a Banarasi saree that was decked with patterns in metallic gold that ran all through the saree and a broad border that sat well. The b-town actor’s makeup stayed subtle, and a red dupatta with a gold border played as a veil which helped complete her look along with exquisite jewellery like a gold choker, jhumkas, and maang tikka with green Kundan that matched her bangles. Her husband found comfort in a white kurta, jacket, and churidar pants.

The pandemic couldn’t put a hiatus on most weddings and Singer Neha Kakkar’s big day with Rohanpreet Singh is a testament. It was every bit of lavishness brought most enticingly but did her red lehenga garner some extra attention? It sure did receive comparisons with Priyanka Chopra’s Sabyasachi red lehenga she wore at Jaipur for her wedding in 2018. Although it looked so very alike, Neha’s lehenga set was from designer Falguni Shane Peacock. Her Kali skirt and blouse bore floral motifs that were embroidered meticulously. Pearls, diamonds, and Kundan made entry through her jewellery. While her glittery eyelids made for a winning look, her kaleeras in hand looked well teamed. Her partner wore the same designer’s sherwani set, both bringing the best of red to the table.

Not all that’s swanky news proved Uri Director, Aditya Dhar and Yami Gautam who married recently surrounded the most natural backdrop. Aditya chose white embroidered sherwani, and the bride opted for her mother’s vintage silk saree that entailed goldwork and was paired with a blouse that came with floral motifs woven on it. Her maternal grandmother’s red dupatta was her veil and jewels like a gold choker, maang tikka, fingering, and kaleeras sealed the look along with Pahaadi gifted by her grandma. The Vicky Donor actress was that bride who made the simple look the best one yet.

The bride to pave the resplendent way for many to follow the suit of red silhouette was actress Anushka Sharma whose reception with Virat Kohli in Delhi made for a royal affair. She chose a red and gold Banarasi saree that had motifs in gold and a zari border that partnered to bring about a glam show. The starlet didn’t miss a chance in being decked up from head-to-toe in Sabyasachi and so did his Bridal jewellery collection also made the entrance through a necklace and jhumkas that saw the wonders of pearls and diamonds all at one go. Her Kohl-rimmed eyes looked neat and perfectly paired with a nude lipstick. The Indian cricket team’s skipper settled with a black bandhgala and styled it with an embroidered shawl and white churidar pants.
