A fairy tale that comes to life. The stylist revealed details about the bride's dress of the son of the richest man in India
Bride Radhika Merchant, who married Indian billionaire Anant Ambani, son of India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, captured the eyes of guests and the world with her luxurious dresses. She celebrated her wedding in a traditional outfit, so no white dress was to be expected, but rather every detail of her delicate images of the three-day banquet had to be considered.

The main wedding attire was a panetar, known for its iconic red and white palette. It was created by the Zardozi brand and featured ivory color and ornaments that combined centuries-old traditions and modernity. The lengu-choli (a traditional skirt and top) was decorated with a transparent cape with embroidered stones. A kind of veil stretched in a long train and was similar to the aforementioned cape.
All the clothes were embroidered with floral motifs. They were created using stones, sparkles, and patterns with a special red thread. Around her neck was the family jewelry made of emeralds, diamonds, and pearls that her mother and sister wore to their weddings.
For the pre-wedding ceremony, Merchant wore a coral-hued lehenga adorned with symmetrical bead and gemstone designs, Hello! reports. Her choli had cutouts on the back and tassels on the sleeves and bottom edge. She completed her look with a dupatta with a similar ornament.
For accessories, she chose precious earrings and a massive necklace.
