'Something blue' for your white wedding

Image
Neither Surveen Chawla nor her husband Akshay Thakker is a Christian but they had an all-white wedding two years ago. While revealing about her hush-hush marriage recently, the Hate Story 2 actress went on to express that it was her dream to get married in a chapel. Just like Surveen Chawla many girls secretly wish to have a white wedding ceremony. I can hear that muffled yes.  Just like sangeet and mehendi, the idea of wearing the bridal gown, walking the aisle with a bouquet and exchanging rings in front of the whole world, excites them all. It would not be wrong to say that this new trend is the upshot of Hollywood influence on us. We don’t just like their movies but also imbibe their culture into our life. White wedding is just one of them. But the beauty of any ceremony, whether your own or a borrowed one, is in fulfilling the rituals. If you too are going in for a chapel wedding and is busy putting together your trousseau for your big day, do not forget...

Surveen Chawla steals the limelight from Anushka Sharma

Image
Secret marriages are not new to the film industry. But Surveen Chawla has taken it to an all-new level. She has not only hidden it from media and fans but also managed to keep it under wraps for good two years. The Hate Story 2 actress had already said “I do” in 2015 to her entrepreneur boyfriend Akshay Thakker. Mesmerised by the charm of a white wedding ceremony, the bold actress exchanged vows in a castle located in Northern Italy. And you thought only Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are awed by the Italian destination wedding!   Anyway! The Kahin Toh Hoga actress forayed into films through some insignificant roles and later, made a big kill with bold films full of skin show and sex scenes. May be in an attempt to establish herself as a sex symbol in a certain genre of movies, she delayed the announcement. But looks like when nothing went as per the plan, amidst shaadi galore in the tinsel town and the extensive coverage the new brides and grooms are enjo...

Priyanka Chopra lets her fans down at Virushka’s wedding

Image
Priyanka Chopra is riding high on her Hollywood success. But the more she’s overseas, the more her desi-ness is coming to the fore. Just recently she had posted a saree and temple jewellery look that garnered praises from all quarters on social media. Looks like she was so flattered that she showed up in an almost the same look to the Mumbai reception of Virushka. But to her dismay, her ensemble did not rise to the occasion. It was the occasion of the Indian skipper’s and Bollywood diva’s marriage celebration. The who’s who of Bollywood and the cricket fraternity were to be in attendance. What was she thinking when she decided to go the saree route? The problem is not with the saree but its ordinary design and also the plain-vanilla finish of the blouse. Especially when the Bollywood beauties have been finalising their look a month in advance to outdo each other in the best of their fineries at the country’s biggest wedding of the year. This saree may have worked for ...

Anushka Sharma's Mumbai reception look

Image
The Mumbai reception of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli had who’s who of Bollywood in attendance. From the Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Nita Ambani and Sachin Tendulkar to Priyanka Chopra, Ranbir Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, a beeline of celebrities were spotted heading to the venue. Even the next generation stars Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan made it to the do. But the star-studded eve could not take the limelight away from the star couple. The duo dazzled in the best of traditional fineries. As always, this time around too, the Phillauri actress went in for a Sabyasachi creation. With a dull golden lehenga, she teamed up a diamond set that adorned her neckline with a lavish necklace while a matching  pair of studs  and a stunning set of red choodas added the deserved sparkle to her looks. Soaked in marital bliss, the newly-wed couple was a treat to watch.   A big thumbs up to the bride of 2017. ...

Disha Patani all set to walk the aisle?

Image
While we are busy talking about Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s whirlwind wedding, spanning across Tuscany, Delhi and Mumbai, here Disha Patani is all set to walk the aisle. The bride is ready, the bridesmaids are set and the baarat is arranged too, all she needs to do is to make up her mind. So did she find her Mr. Right? Actually no. This is just a photo-shoot scheduled by a Mumbai-based boutique styling company Bridelan India. The whole idea was to create a mock luxury wedding that serve as an inspiration for wedding styling and other services. Nevertheless. Must say, the MS Dhoni actress has clean bowled us in her bridal looks. Draped in a designer silver satin saree, she looked like a vision for brides-to-be. Her jadau jewellery set that comprised of a pair of earrings , haathphool and a gorgeous necklace , beautifully complemented the laser cut-out hemline of the saree while adding the deserved sparkle to her lavish look.   Given the growing popularit...

Stop everything and catch up with Bhoomi Pednekar's bridal looks

Lavishness is not enough. Brides today wish to look not just their best but also unique on their big day. The same old red lehenga and golden jewellery do not please them anymore. Even as celebrities are distancing themselves from a typical Indian bridal look by opting for designer outfits that are borrowed from different cultures, new-age women too have taken a shine to the idea. Just recently we got to see Anushka Sharma dressed up in a light pink lehenga with floral motifs on it on her wedding day. Sagarika Ghatge too walked the aisle in her elaborate pastel attire. Even comedienne Bharti Singh had her ‘I-do’ moment in the combination of blue and pink. Brides today are well travelled, they are aware of global trends and on top of that, are open to experimenting with fashion. Using this newfound outlook of marriageable women of today to their advantage, bridal stylists have gone about exploring exotic cultures and creating fusion designs to please our brides of today. The...

Will Anushka Sharma fire her stylist?

Image
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are breaking the internet with the scoops from their weddings. So much so that they are topping the Google ranking ever since the video clips and pics have been out. No one’s talking about Padmavati row anymore. No much is being talked about the series lost against Sri Lanka. Not even Gujarat elections are interesting enough. Just Anushka and Virat’s wedding. And why not? A considerable amount of attention has gone into prepping up for not just this fairy-tale wedding but also into putting together an exclusive bridal ensemble. From a designer lehenga and lavish jewellery to a stunning hairdo, it has been ensured that everything is unique and top class. To achieve a never-seen-before avatar for the big day, the leggy lass has also ditched the traditional red lehenga and went in for an unusual pastel colour outfit. While fans are gushing over her overall gorgeous look, girls are going green in envy. But there is someone who is having the last l...

Anushka Sharma’s wedding story

Image
Hence proved. There is no smoke without fire. Since last year, the speculations of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli's wedding have been rife and when both applied for leave at their respective workplaces around the same time, the news was almost confirmed. But finally it happened yesterday. Far away in Italy, away from Indian media and fans, the power couple tied the knot. The distance could not contain the temptation to get a scoop from the grand wedding and here it is, the internet is breaking with their wedding pics and videos. Otherwise the Pakistani bridal get-up of Anushka Sharma from Aae Dil Hai Mushkil was the only picture that went well with any write-up on Virushka’s wedding. Till yesterday, as you google the keywords Anushka Sharma wedding, the same pics from different angles would be thrown at you. But it is nothing close to what Anushka actually looked like on her big day. Ditching the traditional red lehenga, the Jab Harry Met Sejal star ...

Bharti Singh and Aashka Goradia on their wedding day

Image
It is a sin to compare two brides. It’s a big day for both the brides. They both go through the same emotional journey. Above all, they both look their best. Here we are talking about Aashka Goradia and Bharti Singh who ruled the tube since many years and now, are walking the aisle with their respective Mr. Rights around the same time. While the former will always find a place in Indian Television's Vamp Hall Of Fame, the latter is an ace comedienne but on their big days, they both looked like goddesses. Aashka chose traditional red lehenga with heavy embroidery world which was further adorned by traditional gold jewellery . From three-stringed mathapatta, nathiya and choker to a set of kadas, a pair of earrings and finger ring, she was sparkling with jewels from head to toe. But Bharti personalised her ensemble with a pink and blue bridal attire that tells the story of a bride through prints along the hemline. In addition to her stone-studded bridal jeweller...

Zoom into Bharti Singh’s bridal jewellery

Indian wedding rituals are just like a countdown. As the date nears, the celebration hots up. The number of guests increases. The rituals are even more elaborate. But in the case of a celebrity marriage, it is another level of jubilation. While the couple and the family is immersed in the revelry and rituals, fans get some serious fashion goals to chase. Not just the bride and the groom, even their guests flaunt some breath-taking designer clothes and fancy jewellery to look out for. After Sagarika Ghatge and Zaheer Khan, now it is comedienne Bharti Singh who is all set to tie the knot with her long time beau Harsh Limbachiyaa and with that, we are in for another round of celebrity fashion parade. The celebrations have already kicked off in the couple’s respective households and to begin with, Bharti’s family had held the choora  ceremony where she had donned a traditional pink lehenga with golden zari work. This gorgeous outfit was further adorned with lavish temple je...
