Radhika, adorned with the family jewels that her grandmother, mother, and sister had worn at their weddings, wore an outfit which was a modern interpretation of the traditional Gujarati ‘Panetar’, which typically sees the bride in shades of red and white hues.
Radhika’s ivory Zardozi cut-work ensemble included a trailing ghagra layered with a second detachable trail, a five-meter head veil, and a tissue shoulder dupatta. The ghagra shimmered with three red borders, showcasing a blend of Naqshi, Saadi, and Zardozi embroidery, symmetrically hand-embroidered with floral booties and adorned with stones, sequins, tamba tikkis, and a touch of red Resham.
The head veil featured delicate jaali and cut-work, while the 80-inch detachable trail was a Zardozi marvel. The look was completed with a fully embroidered red shoulder dupatta, adding drama to the piece.
