For her Konkani wedding, Deepika chose to wear a stunning Kanjeevaram sari gifted to her by her mother whilst Ranveer complimented her in a classic white and gold kurta dhoti. Sabyasachi’s customised outfits for the Sindhi ceremony of the regal couple were comprised of a vibrant mix of pink and red hues along with the kind of opulent jewellery bridal dreams are made of. Deepika’s vermillion red Sabyasachi lehenga was accompanied by a traditional Indian embroidered veil that had an auspicious quote embedded; ‘Sada Saubhagyavati Bhava’ which roughly translates to ‘may you always share a sacred bond of love and togetherness’.
