A wedding is a grand event that’s auspicious for everyone and each ceremony of it is equally important whether it is engagement, Mehendi, or actual wedding day. The excitement from ceremony to ceremony only increases as time passes by and the nervousness is also there in the soon-to-wed couple. The planning is done with full longing and the brides and grooms take active participation in finding out the best attire for the functions so that they could make it memorable and extravagant day for life.

Celebrity weddings are nothing less and the passion is also the same doesn’t matter if it is a common bride or a celebrity. Recently Ira Khan, daughter of Amir Khan, and his ex-wife Reena Dutta got engaged to her Boyfriend Nupur Shikhare in Mumbai. For the important occasion, the bride-to-be decided to ditch the traditional attire and chose to go with the not-so-common dressing by wearing western attire on her special day.

How does Ira Khan flaunt her attire for the engagement?

The couple did not want the event to be a star-studded event so both appeared in simple yet elegant dresses. For the occasion, the bride-to-be was seen flaunting a stunning red-colored strapless gown while she walked hand-in-hand with her fiancé Nupur, who was looking absolutely spruce in his all-black tuxedo. Ira Khan complimented her look with a beautiful necklace and earrings. Her makeup and hairstyle were also not very plush yet it was looking very nice due to the way she was carrying them.

Girls that are looking for inspiration for a dress for events such as a Cocktail night, bachelor’s party, Bridesmaid dress, or a dress for club events can surely consider this as an example.

The couple looked like a match rightly made in heaven. However, it looks like some of their social media users didn’t adore Ira’s choice of outfit and trolled her ruthlessly. There were some of the users found her outfit totally vulgar; while others stated that she was quite uncomfortable with what she was wearing.

Popular female playback singer Palak Muchhal and music composer Mithun Sharma got hitched to each other on 6th November. The marriage ceremony was held in the afternoon and a celebration party was given in the evening at the Sahara International Hotel. Stars from the film and music industry were gathered at the party to bless and wish the bride and groom. Mithun donned a cream color sherwani. The style of the groom’s sherwani was common to the latkan dress worn in Rajasthan, while the beautiful bride Palak was noticed wearing a maroon dress. The stage was also having décor in cream and red color flowers.

How did the wedding go?

Both were dating each other for a long duration before their marriage happens. The ceremony was a massive success in a very simple manner.

Apart from Indian dishes, continental food was also offered at the party.

Film career of Palak Muchhal started with films like Veer, and Damadam, but did not get more popularity with those. The film Aashiqui 2 which came in the year 2013, was what brought success to Palak overnight. The songs of this movie also helped Mithun take a grip on Bollywood. In this movie, the songs Meri Aashiqui Tum Hi Ho and Chahoon Main Ya Na to which she gave her voice were quite hits.

Palak did shows with this Pyarelal group in foreign countries during her childhood. Before that Palak did several stage shows in Indore. Very few people know that Palak’s first song on stage was Choti Si Pyaari Si Nanhi Si. Later to that, Palak did shows in Indore the cause of the “operation of children suffering from heart disease”.

Destination weddings are something that we all adore. And the rituals, traditions, help to spread a spectacular vibe even at a place that is far away from your home. One such destination wedding was of Vikrant Massey and Sheetal Thakur. This can be a great inspiration for couples planning to get married soon in an intimate and eco-friendly arrangement.

 Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey tied knots recently with his long-time girlfriend Sheetal Thakur in a low-key intimate wedding affair. The couple got married on February 18 at Himachal Pradesh in the presence of their close friends and family. Vikrant and Sheetal have been dating each other since the year 2015. They met each other while Vikrant was involved in the shoot for “Broken but Beautiful”. Sheetal was playing the part of Vikrant in the web series. Later to the show, they became good friends and fell in love. The actor confirmed their engagement back in the year 2019.  

The wedding ceremony of Vikrant and Sheetal was very simple, subtle, and beautiful.

How was the wedding organized?

The reports shared that wedding took place in the hometown of Sheetal, i.e. Shahtalai, Himachal Pradesh. The couple registered their wedding on 14 February and then performed the traditional style wedding. They had a private Roka and engagement ceremony in 2019 later to which they moved to live together. The delay was of course as expected due to the Pandemic. But nothing has stopped them to get hitched this year. The couple was highly keen to go organic and eco-friendly, which is why everything, from the décor (primarily set up from locally grown flowers) to ‘Dham’ (the feast celebrated traditionally in the Himachal Pradesh) was done with that in mind.

Arrangements for Haldi Ceremony

Vikrant chose to go with a white kurta-pajama and a royal-looking Nehru jacket for the Haldi rituals. Massey on one hand was looking extremely handsome in the all-white monochrome outfit; Sheetal looked dreamlike in an embellished yellow net lehenga. Rather than going for some loud ornaments, she preferred floral jewelry with contrasting hues of pink and white. The duo looked so adorable together that all eyes were rolling on them.

The Big Wedding Day Look

For the D-day, Massey was styled in a royal ivory white-hued sherwani with classy gold buttons on them. For his saafa, Vikrant Massey decided to go with a very faint pink-hued option. While Vikrant looked debonair in sherwani, Sheetal was nothing less than a glowing fairytale bride that chose a tomato red lehenga with golden embroidery. The skirt had a pretty floral design and the blouse had vertical golden lines. The highlight of the bride’s outfit was the old-style gotta fringe dupatta that gave her a beautiful look! If we talk about her jewelry, the bride wore a traditional gold Ranihaar and a subtle neckpiece. She also had matching gold earrings, maang tikka, and a big traditional Himachali nath.

Those old days are now gone when the brides walked down the aisle nervously to her prince charming for the further ceremony and the grooms make a bashing solid entry. Nowadays, even brides prefer entering with pomp and show while the groom eagerly waits for her.

Under a Phoolon ki Chaadar

Phoolon ki chadar might be an age-old-style bride entry, but you can give it a twist or replace it with a beautifully decorated umbrella with lace and fresh flowers. Make sure the flowers on the chadar or the umbrella complement your bridal lehenga. This bridal entry will give your wedding extra enthusiasm. You can customize the colors according to your wedding theme and add a dash of fairy lights.

Enter with the gang of your Veereys

It is almost impossible to imagine your wedding ceremony without the gang of your veereys and bridesmaids. You can decide to walk down the aisle with your girl gang. You can share the color of your outfit so that they can plan and coordinate their outfit accordingly.

Enter on a royal paalki

You can make everyone feel spell bounded by arriving at the mandap on a beautiful paalki. It will make you feel like a queen and your bride entry will be a royal one like that of Princess Jodhaa did on the gorgeous paalki while she reaches the castle of King Akbar in the Jodhaa Akbar movie?

Irrespective of the style you choose, you can always add elements to make it more customized according to your own taste and preferences. We hope that you’ll think of any way out of these to make you look more effortlessly beautiful.

The solah shringar of a bride is never complete without the most precious jewelry item, which is “Mangalsutra”. People in Indian tradition call it “suhag ki nishani”. The word Mangalsutra is a combination of two words, ‘mangal’ and ‘sutra’ that signifies an ‘auspicious thread’. Once the saat pheras are done in the wedding, the groom ties this Mangalsutra to the neck of the bride, which marks an important ritual of the ceremony. The traditional mangalsutra comprised of designs made up of black beads in a thread embedded with a gold pendant. While today, most Indian brides have changed their preferences and they are stepping out of the old-style designs expressing their identity with the revamped mangalsutra designs.
