Decoding Radhika Merchant's wedding attire

The custom Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla bridal lehenga worn by Radhika Merchant is a beautiful interpretation of Panetar, the Gujarati tradition of brides wearing red and white. The Zardozi cut-work ensemble features a trailing ghagra layered with a second detachable trail, a 5-meter head veil, a blouse, and a tissue shoulder dupatta.

The ghagra is adorned with three borders of red. Its workmanship is the finest amalgamation of Naqshi, Saadi, and Zardozi, symmetrically hand-embroidered in intricate floral booties decorated with stones, sequins, Tamba tikkis, and a touch of red Resham. The head veil has delicate jaali and cut-work, while the detachable trail has a Zardozi marvel of 80 inches. Lastly, the outfit has a fully embroidered red shoulder dupatta that uplifts the silhouette with its maximal drama.

For the glam, Rhea chose minimal makeup for Radhika, including a red lip, sleek winged eyeliner, mascara on the lashes, feathered brows, rouge-tinted cheeks, a dainty bindi, and a centre-parted bun adorned with gajra and roses.
