For every bride, her wedding is an occasion to show off her best version and make a style statement for the world to see. That is exactly what Khushboo succeeded at with a series of stunning wardrobe choices that made her the center of attention in every click. With the talented team of WeddingSutra Favorite – Seventy By Two behind the lens, the bride was captured in stunning avatars as she posed to her heart’s content. Check out her style file below.
How They Met
Khushboo shares, “It all began in May 2015 during a family trip to Europe, and that’s where I met Akash. We fell for each other instantly, just like a Bollywood scene! After a month, he planned a dreamy candlelight dinner with champagne, flowers, and pastries at Westin, Mumbai. It was there that he got down on one knee and proposed to me. I said ‘Yes’ instantly. But like every love story, we had our challenging time when I flew off to New York for six months. The distance made our relationship grow and we realized that we just couldn’t give up on each other. Even though we come from different backgrounds, Jain and Vaishnav respectively, our parents did not oppose our relationship, and everything just fell into place.”
Wedding Planning
The couple’s stellar wedding team included Wing Craft Entertainment who organized the entire affair, Yess99 Events who were in charge of the decor, and talented makeup artists Kajol R Paswan and Varsha Gidwani who worked their magic on the bride. Making sure that the couple had memories that’ll last them a lifetime with their clicks was team Seventy By Two who captured every tender moment. Mozaic Entertainment made sure both the sangeet functions were events to remember with their energetic and fun choreography!
Gushing about her experience with her wedding team, Khushboo shared, “I’ve known Hardik of Seventy By Two in person and was always keen on working with him for my wedding. Professionally, their work is immensely creative and the sheer effort that their team puts in to execute out-of-the-box ideas was simply commendable. I would like to thank their entire team for giving me these beautiful memories for life!
I would also like to commend my makeup artists for doing a brilliant job by making my vision come true. Kajol R Paswwan made me feel very comfortable and knew exactly the kind of look I had in mind.”
Wedding Functions
Welcoming
Arriving in style on a helicopter, the couple made quite a statement as they stepped out to be welcomed by their family and friends. A vision in grey and peach pink, Khushboo’s saree stayed traditional yet minimalistic with its finely embroidered borders. Holding everything in place was a golden waist belt that sashayed with every move she made. Paired with bright pink lips and rosy eyes, this look came together seamlessly.
Cocktail
An occasion filled with glitz and glamour, Khushboo left no stone unturned to make sure she looked gorgeous in every click. Looking magnificent in a grey-blue satin gown, the bride kept her accessories to a minimum with just a pair of statement earring adorning her ears. However, she went bold with the makeup as she stepped out with dramatic shimmery smoky eyes paired with nude pink lips. Even her stilettos followed suit as the rhinestone-encrusted pair glimmered brightly with every move she made.
Sangeet
The couple was lucky enough to have double the fun with two sangeets held at Mumbai and Alibaug.
At the Mumbai sangeet, Khushboo donned a silver lehenga with floral embroidery that she paired with a ruffled dupatta. A side-swept hairdo and diamond-encrusted hairpins made thisfairytale look come alive. The makeup was kept simple with clean skin and a soft glam eye look.
For the Alibaug sangeet, Khushboo chose a look that was a little bit more on the traditional side but no less dreamy. She went for a pastel peach creation with intricate embroidery all over and accessorized it with minimal jewelry. For her hair, she chose to adorn it with fresh blower buds that added a dreamy charm to the entire look. Injecting a flair to her appearance was the dramatic smoky look that made her brown eyes stand out as she twirled around on the stage.
Mamera
A bright and colorful affair, the Mamera ceremony was made even brighter with the bride’s white and lemon yellow lehenga. Replete with floral embroidery on the skirt and sleeves, this outfit was perfect for the breezy event. The light outfit was teamed with statement jewelry as the bride chose to wear an elaborate maang tikka with a meenakari necklace. On the makeup front, Khushboo chose to go for a versatile gold smoky eye look and a subtle pink pout.
Pool Party
Keeping it light yet stylish for an afternoon full of revelry, Khushboo donned a grey saree with a matching off-shoulder blouse for the pool party. Everything was kept simple so that the bride could enjoy a day full of fun in the pool with her soon-to-be-husband. This meant almost no accessories, except for her cool blue mirrored glares and a statement ring.
Haldi
True to tradition, the bride chose a bright yellow lehenga with minimal work so that she could effortlessly wander around the venue. With floral jewelry on her neck, wrists, and ears, Khushboo looked radiant as she frolicked around the lawn with her groom. The makeup too was on the simpler side with subtle smoky eyes and nude pink lips.
Wedding
For the big day, Khushboo went all traditional in a ruby red lehenga with intricate gold embroidery all over the skirt and blouse. She paired up her stunning outfit with a bold necklace, nath, and maang tikka with dropstones. For her hair, she kept it simple with a traditional bun adorned with purple orchids. For her makeup, the bride went for ultra-glamorous smoky eyes, glowing skin and a bright red pout.
