Be The Star Of The Show: 8 Celeb Bridal Reception Looks To Try This Wedding SZN
Anushka Sharma's Red Silk Saree
Anushka Sharma's beautiful wedding was one of the first to embrace the minimal clean aesthetic. We loved all her outfits, including her wedding reception look, which was this beautiful red colour saree with OTT gold motifs all over it, paired with heavy jewellery and a sleek hairdo.
Kiara Advani's Black-And-White Gown
One of the more recent Bollywood weddings, Kiara Advani looked stunning at her wedding and her wedding reception. She opted for a modern black and white gown, which quite honestly reminded me of one of the dresses from the Christan Dior 1996 collection by Gianfranco Ferre, but hers was made by Manish Malhotra, paired with heavy emerald jewellery from Manish Malhotra as well.
Sonam Kapoor's Geometric Print Lehenga
It's not news that Sonam Kapoor is considered one of the biggest fashion icons and trendsetters of Bollywood, and for her reception she wore a geometric printed lehenga by Anamika Khanna with a bold lip and a rather simple blouse. The print is definitely a statement and isn't everyone's cup of tea. If you're looking for the same silhouette but in a more conventional colour, then consider checking out this one.
Richa Chadha's Bohemian Mismatch
If you want to channel the bohemian aesthetic, then Richa Chadha's wedding reception look is apt. It's fun and colourful with immense attention to detail.
Deepika Padukone's Red Gown
Red is the colour of the moment during your wedding functions, and this OTT red gown that Deepika wore looked just so stunning. Deepika had three receptions, according to my research, she wore a gold silk saree in one, a heavily sequenced saree with a veil in the other, and this stunning red gown during her wedding reception in Mumbai. All of her bridal reception looks were giving OTT bride, which is definitely the vibe for this year as well.
Pareeniti Chopra's Simple Beige Suit
If you're a bride that loves everything minimal and want a simple look for your reception, then Pareeniti Chopra's reception look is what comes to mind. She wore a simple beige suit set with sequenced chunni and looked absolutely gorgeous.
Priyanka Chopra's Mermaid-Inspired Lehenga
Priyanka's lehenga was more tapered near her hips, which is what a mermaid silhouette is all about. While hers wasn't exactly a mermaid lehenga, we think it's great to take inspiration from it as this type of design was prominent in all the fashion weeks we've seen so far for the wedding season!
Katrina Kaif's Floral Saree
For a floral look, there's no looking further than this net saree that Katrina Kaif wore at her wedding reception with a veil. It checks all the boxes—intricate, simple, elegant and stunning.
