Wedding Look
And after stars in the sky, it was time for stars on earth. The big fat Reddy wedding guest list practically crackled with the who’s who of Bollywood, the world of industry and politics.
The nuptials themselves were beautiful and true to South Indian tradition with both the bride and groom wearing Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. The bride wore a Kanjeevaram with diamond jewellery, the groom looked like a maharaja in a heavily embellished red and gold sherwani with pearl malas and a paghdi.
Wedding Decor
The wedding décor, inspired by the temple architecture of South India was conceptualized by the designer duo of Abu Jani- Sandeep Khosla and produced by Mushtaq & Ipsita of Celebrations.
The entrance to the celebrations was resplendent with Tanjore style paintings of the Goddesses Lakshmi and Saraswati. The meet and greet corridor – the highlight of the wedding – included a gilded mirrored ceiling, a hand painted floor and elephant pillars that looked right out of a heritage temple site.
The wedding arena, a mammoth 60,000 sq ft, included exquisite embroidery work designed by Abu Sandeep for this special wedding. A breathtaking 150 ft long vidhi mandap with traditional Tanjore art was created out of real gold touched with pastel colors. The dining area incorporated a mirrored mosaic wall with high ceilings and chandelier installations evoking the Mughal Sheesh Mahal.
