Setting the Stage: Ceremony on Camera

With cameras rolling and family, friends and co-contestants of the show watching, every ritual from haldi to pheras was staged against the show’s sets. The unique setting meant that the styling, décor, lighting, and wardrobe all had to be camera‑ready — nothing could be left to chance.Though  the ceremonies were staged but the wedding was real.

Bridal Ensemble: A Mandap Turned into a Lehenga

For her big moment, Avika donned a one-of-a-kind creation by FLT India — a Khadi India certified handcrafted lehenga made from Eri silk, featuring traditional Kasab gota gutha embroidery. The lehenga, named Mandap-e-Gulzar, was more than just couture — it was a story.

Inspired by the grandeur of a traditional Indian wedding mandap, Avika’s lehenga transformed sacred architecture into wearable art. The base design began with the staircases of the Hal-e-Belur temple, each step symbolizing a chapter in India's rich heritage. Rising from this foundation, every kali of the lehenga formed an arch, much like a mandap’s canopy, framing a majestic guldasta that stood tall like a ceremonial kalash, overflowing with red roses and bailey flowers.

Higher still, delicate floral veils cascaded down the fabric — representing blessings, fragrance, and joy — capturing the emotional essence of the wedding ritual in a visually breathtaking ensemble.

The red hue honoured bridal tradition, while the spiritual storytelling infused into the embroidery made it a standout piece for any bride looking to embody both heritage and individuality.

Groom’s Look: Coordinated Craftsmanship with Cultural Roots

Milind Chandwani wore a coordinated sherwani from FLT India’s Mandap-e-Gulzar collection — matching the theme and textile of Avika’s bridal outfit. His sherwani, also crafted from Eri silk with Kasab gota gutha embroidery, brought masculine elegance to the same storytelling.

 The beige-toned sherwani  with peach accents allowed the story to unfold with grace and detail, while still keeping his look refined and understated. He completed his look with a safa and ornamental kalgi and mala matching Avika'a  emerald jewellery.

Jewellery: Emeralds, Diamonds & Heirloom Touches

Jewellery played a starring role in Avika’s bridal styling. She chose a mix of emerald and diamond pieces — a bold choker, cascading layered strings, statement bangles — all of which caught the light with every movement.

A maang tikka and matha patti completed the regal, heirloom-inspired look. The green of the emeralds added a striking contrast against the red and gold, giving the bride that timeless yet fresh bridal glow.

Hair & Makeup: Radiant Simplicity

Rather than over-the-top glam, Avika’s beauty team opted for luminous skin and soft features. Her makeup look spotlighted kohl-rimmed eyes with gentle shimmer, light lashes, a touch of blush, and a pink-toned lip that felt elegant and wearable.

Her hair was styled in a sleek centre-parted bun, clean and precise, allowing the jewellery and lehenga neckline to shine. This hairstyle also translates beautifully to both closeups and full-length shots — a crucial point when every moment is being filmed.
