The bridal look of Radhika Merchant was shared by stylist Rhea Kapoor as she geared up for her wedding with Anant Ambani on Friday and oh boy, she nailed it in a stunning lehenga designed by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.
Stylist Rhea Kapoor took to Instagram to share pictures of Radhika as a bride.
The 29-year-old opted for the heavily-embroidered ivory ensemble with red and gold accents and accentuated her look with elegant jewellery.
Her outfit is a traditional interpretation of ‘Panetar’, a Gujarati tradition of brides wearing red and white, Rhea detailed.
