The gorgeous Bollywood style icon Sonam Kapoor and her long-time boyfriend, businessman Anand Ahuja are finally hitched. The couple tied the knot in a traditional Anand Karaj ceremony on 8 May. While for the last few days, celebrations were on in full swing at Anil Kapoor’s house — Shringar — for the wedding ceremony, the whole wedding party moved to Sonam’s aunt, Kavita Singh’s posh bungalow Rockdale on Bandstand. The dress code for the summery day wedding was Indian traditional, which saw the crème of tinsel town showing up in their vibrant best. Minimal embellishments, floral embroideries, Art Deco motifs and a pastel palette dominated the soiree. While Sonam’s bestie Jacqueline Fernandez cut a fine figure with a statement parandi tied into her Mississippi-long braided mane, sis Rhea picked a printed and embroidered Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla creation.
Sonam looked magnificent in a custom-made traditional red and golden lehenga by designer Anuradha Vakil. Staying true to her penchant for vintage textiles, the style maven accessorised her bridal look with a choker, a guttapusalu necklace and a multi-stranded matha patti. Raghavendra Rathore designed dapper groom Anand’s beige bandhgala.
The band, baja, baraat headed to The Leela, in the evening for the wedding reception. It was an evening of dance and music to celebrate the fairytale nuptials. The who's who from the industry attended the reception in their fashionable best. Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Katrina Kaif, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kangana Ranaut, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Karan Johar and many others along with the entire Kapoor clan arrived at The Leela Hotel in Mumbai.
