Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Viren and Shaila Merchant, wore several enchanting outfits that added to her gorgeous looks, pre and post-wedding. Let’s take a glimpse at her bridal closet.

Graha Shanti Pooja Look 

The bride-to-be looked absolutely stunning in a pristine white saree adorned with a blush pink blouse, accentuated by a dazzling array of diamond jewellery. The ‘gajra’ was a statement piece in itself which seemed to make the look more ‘put together’. The bindis over the eyebrows seem to bring back the contemporary traditionalist looks. The ‘Maangtika’ added an enchanting edge while the dainty neckpiece aesthetically completed her look.

Wedding Ceremony Look

For D-day when Radhika Merchant tied the knot with Anant Ambani, she wore a beautiful bridal ensemble also by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. The ensemble is the designer's intricate interpretation of "panetar", the Gujarati tradition of brides wearing red and white. 

Radhika told Vogue, “I turned to family heirlooms for my ‘something old.’ I wore the same necklace my sister and aunts wore at their weddings, and I truly believe it gave me a special strength and blessing as I walked down the aisle. It was actually a piece that my dad had surprised my mom with on a holiday to celebrate their anniversary." 

This family heirloom features syndicate polki or uncut diamonds, Zambian emeralds, and a centre stone of emerald-cut emeralds and emerald drops.
