1. KATRINA KAIF
As we all know our prettiest Katrina Kaif and Vickey Kaushal tied their knots on December 9, 2021. They became a prominent celebrity wedding inspiration for all of us. Their wedding took place on the grounds of the Royal Hotel Six Senses Fort Barware, Sawai Madhopur. Their marriage was in a proper Punjabi ritual.
THE DRESS:
Both Katrina and Vicky were styled by Anaita Shroff for their special day and were dressed up in custom-made Sabyasachi ensembles. Her red bridal Sabyasachi lehenga was draped with a custom-made fabric. The red netting on her drape was handmade with Kiran in hand-beaten electroplated gold which made for the detailed border along.
ACCESSORIES:
Rahul Luthra custom-designed her Kaleera, while Mrinalini Chandra crafted them for the wedding. Each of the bangles she wore ahead of her red chooda, carried 6-7 messenger doves. The couple exchanged their rings from Tiffany & Co. for their wedding.
Katrina picked out an unusual piece in a Sapphire shade with platinum, breaking the trend of simple solitaires and diamonds. Her ring is priced at a whopping Rs. 7,41,000.
Vicky Kaushal gave Katrina a mangalsutra, which Sabyasachi crafted, resembling the designer’s iconic Bengal Tiger mangalsutra. It featured double diamonds strung along with the neckpiece.
JEWELRY:
For her wedding, Katrina exhibited a raveled bespoke choker from Sabyasachi’s bridal jewelry collection. It featured uncut diamonds in 22k gold and was varnish with hand-string pearls. Her gold jhumka earrings, elegant Nath, and matha Patti matched her statement neckpiece very well.
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal earlier had a court marriage before their grand wedding at Vicky Kaushal’s house in front of their family members. When there is a Bollywood celebrity wedding, the first fashion designer that strikes our mind is Sabyasachi.
However, Katrina pulled on the Abu Jani ensemble for Mehendi, a Manish Malhotra collection at the sangeet, and a Gucci attire at the wedding reception. Katrina Kaif along with her family and relatives will be wearing shoes from the luxurious shoe brand Joy.
2. NATASHA DALAL
Natasha Dalal and Varun Dhawan’s wedding was a highly guarded affair as they got hitched on January 24, 2022, at Alibaug’s Mansion House in the presence of family members and friends during COVID-19. They followed Hindu rituals to start their new journey. This couple became yet another celebrity wedding inspiration.
THE DRESS:
Natasha, a designer, sported a unique heavily embellished off-white lehenga from Manish Malhotra’s collection, breaking the stereotype of wearing a red lehenga. Natasha enhanced the choli with a lot of silverwork and intricate details in the front, teaming it with sheer sleeves.
ACCESSORIES:
In this, she wore a white choodie and her customized kaleera designed by celebrated jewelry designer Mrinalini Chandra. She ditched the golden ones for silver which took her to look to the next level. For the hair, Natasha went the floral route and secured her hair with a bunch of white flowers.
JEWELRY:
Natasha is a new-age bride and believes in sustainability. She chose a very subtle bridal look, opting for diamond jewelry. Surprisingly, she wore the same diamond-emerald neckpiece she had worn at Akash Ambani and Shloka Ambani’s wedding ceremony, breaking the stereotype of how celebrity weddings are typically done.
3. ANKITA LOKHANDE
Ankita Lokhande and beau Vicky Jain took their wedding vows on December 14th. A three-day affair that kicked off with a Pre-wedding shoot followed by Mehendi, Sangeet, and the wedding ceremonies. The event took place in one of Mumbai’s opulent properties – The Grand Hyatt. The couple tied the knot in a traditional Marathi way.

All glammed up for her Pre-wedding dinner event, Ankita looked regal in a maroon pleated saree. She styled the same with an embellished strappy blouse.
The Mehendi ceremony was a lively affair. Ankita coordinated her outfits with Vicky Jain. They picked their outfits from designer Siddhartha Bansal’s collection. Fifteen karigars crafted Ankita’s colorful outfit, adorning it with sequins and patches, and it took 45 days to complete.
They draped the bride’s lehenga with a tissue sheer dupatta featuring a scalloped hem. Bright, bold, and happy shades entailed her colorful look.
She manifested a glamoured look in a Shantanu and Nikhil sparkly gown which featured a plunging neckline, a waist cut-out, and a sheer cape attached to her opulent gown for her Sangeet ceremony.

4. YAMI GAUTAM
Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar started their journey on June 4, 2021, on the grounds of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh in the presence of 20 guests. She believes in simplicity, and from the beginning, she knew that setting a new bar for celebrity wedding inspiration was a new trend she wanted to establish. She solely focused on the ceremony with people who cared about her and did not try to please everyone. Yami, a Himachali bride, followed the rituals wholeheartedly.
THE DRESS
Yami Gautam pulled on a red Benarasi saree featuring gathered details of motifs and a thick zari border that belonged to her mother. While the saree remained simple, her blouse perfectly complemented it with floral motifs in the same gold embroidery all over.
To complete her look, she added a matching red dupatta that was gifted by her maternal grandmother. Yami opted for a green silk saree for her post-wedding look.
ACCESSORIES
She chose to enhance her features with subtle kohl-lined eyes, bright red lips that matched her wedding outfit, and just a bit of blush on her cheeks, for a classic traditional bridal glow. Surilee Gautam styled her hair and made her look complete.
JEWELRY
No look is complete without accessories and Yami’s heirloom jewels which involved a regal gold choker set, maang tikka, and kalire, decorated with cowries and coconut enhanced her wedding outfit. Her grandmother also gifted her the Himachali Nath, which she wore.
She paired her silk saree with minimal jewelry, including her mangalsutra, earrings, and chooda. Yami wore a traditional Kashmiri ornament made up of three ornamental elements, the door, the athoor, and the atah, which are traditionally worn by married Kashmiri women.
Not just us but even actor Kangana Ranaut had glorified Yami for her glamorous yet simple bridal look. Sharing a picture of Yami dressed in red, Kangana wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Older than tradition and time. Nothing more divine than a raw mountain girl turned bride #himachalpradesh.”
