Revisiting Shweta Nanda’s exquisite wedding lehenga

Shweta Nanda tied the knot with Nikhil Nanda in 1997 and made headlines for her pre-noughties fashion sense. Shweta Bachchan Nanda is Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter, whereas Nikhil Nanda is a distinguished businessman and a notable figure with connections in the business and entertainment industry. He is the Chairman and Managing Director of Escorts Limited, an engineering firm, and succeeded his father, Rajan Nanda in 2018.

For her mehendi and sangeet, Shweta Nanda was seen wearing a champagne-hued Chikankari lehenga which had a minimal flare, and a decent high-neck blouse with minimal floral beading around the borders. She carried the look with grace and elegance and added a dark green silk Banarasi dupatta with detailed intricate embroidery.

Playing safe and keeping a minimal fashion balance, Shweta aced her jewellery game and wore a silver diamond choker with a long beaded necklace, matching bangles, and earrings. She wore a chained ring attached bracelet set on both her hands which exuded royalty and perfectly went with her attire.

She kept her hair and makeup game as minimal as possible which went perfectly with her mehendi and sangeet’s function. Keeping minimal kohl eyes and big lashes, she had fine eyebrows and added a tint of fine pink glossy lips with a small black bindi and was all set for her pre-wedding activities.

For her pre-wedding festivities, Shweta chose this champagne-hued wedding lehenga which also matched with the ambience of the venue. The entrance of Jalsa looked breezy with all the trees made of white tuberoses with beautiful floor-to-ceiling curtains in intricate floral jaali adorning the space. The entire space looked like a royal entourage in the shades of beige and orange which was inspired by the Bengali tradition of flowers, known as the shola work.

For her big day, Shweta opted for a classic red-maroon lehenga with a stunning heavy embroidered dupatta which she carried as a veil with an extended trail. Her dupatta had heavy thread and golden beaded embroidery with a broad designer border. Matching the border, she was seen wearing a red flared lehenga with heavily embroidered detailing in a floral bead design, whereas she added a half-sleeve designer blouse, and looked like a stunning Bengali bride.

With her red wedding lehenga, she wore a beautiful long ‘Rani Haar’ and stunning necklace with a matching heavy set of bangles and earrings with a simple maang tika and beaded headgear. Carrying a red gloss lip look, she kept pink eyeshadow and minimal strokes of liner and kohl. However, the moment was the designers of all her wedding attires i.e. Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla who designed her wedding trousseau with poise, grace, and elegance which is still the talk of the town.
