Sonam Kapoor is now Mrs Sonam Kapoor Ahuja. She married Delhi-based businessman Anand Ahuja in an anant karaj ceremony earlier today.
This wedding brings to mind another grand Bollywood wedding that took place in December last year - the Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli wedding.
Virat and Anushka said 'I do' in Tuscany, Italy, away from the media glare in the country. Their Tuscan wedding was marked by pastels and easy-on-the-eyes attires.
Unlike Anushka Sharma's close-knit union in an Italian vineyard during the day, Sonam opted for a sundowner in Mumbai, the place where she grew up.
Anushka, on the other hand, wore Sabyasachi from head to toe, including her jewellery. While Anushka's pastel hued outfit went well with her simplistic, fairy light decor, Sonam went for a more glamorous look to match the grandeur of hers.
Anushka Sharma wore a pale-pink lehenga with delicate embroidery by Sabyasachi, and looked more radiant than ever. What really worked for the actress were the vintage English colours of the lehenga's embroidery - it was majorly done in pink, mild green, yellow and just a dash of peacock blue. This delicate embroidery was then embellished with silver-gold metal thread, pearls and beads, which lent the lehenga the subtle vibe it boasted of.
The fact that Anushka wore a garland made of fully bloomed, pale-pink and yellow roses to complement the colours of her lehenga also worked wonders for her look.
Sonam Kapoor in an exclusive interview with Brides Today had revealed how
she would love to have a traditional wedding because it resonated with the kind of person she is.
True to her statement, the actor went with a traditional red lehenga by Anuradha Vakil.As exquisite as Anushka's lehenga was, it was her uncut-diamond jewellery by Sabyasachi that elevated her look to a whole new level of regal.
The uncut-diamond choker Anushka wore with her wedding attire boasted of pale-pink spinel stones and baroque Japanese cultured pearls.
Despite wearing three very heavy pieces of jewellery - choker, headband and long necklace - Anushka's bridal look was not even close to gaudy, thanks to the subtlety and consistency of colours throughout her attire.
Sonam, on the other hand, chose a fiery-red Anuradha Vakil lehenga with heavy gold embroidery for her anand karaj ceremony with Anand Ahuja.
The blouse was high-collared, with a choker pattern in zardosi. The dupatta covered her head and a similar pattern on it, with golden floral-gotta patti all over.
Sonam's lehenga too had floral gotta patti on it, and heavy work in zardosi all over.
The necklace on Sonam's neck was an intricate piece of art in gold and pearl. It reminded of the traditional naulakha haar. It had traditional kundan and meenakari work, in burgundy and green.
The matthapatti covering Sonam's head matched with her necklace. She chose a pair of jhumkas to complete the look.
Anushka had a winter wedding, Sonam's was a summer one. Both brides looked equally regal in their respective outfits.
