1. Masaba Gupta

In an intimate court marriage ceremony, multi-hyphenate Masaba Gupta married her actor beau Satyadeep Misra, whom she met on the sets of her eponymous Netflix show Masaba Masaba. With her next of kin and friends like family in attendance, Masaba's nuptials were an all-heart affair. And when the photos hit social media, we were floored by the designer's ethereal ensemble! Here are a few things we believe brides should take note of.

For her intimate wedding, Masaba donned the 'Paan-Patti' lehenga- a unique raw silk lehenga in a 'barfi pink' hue with gold embroidery from her bridal collection! She paired this with a lime green dupatta with a wallflower print on it, which looked supremely feminine and beautiful. The dupatta also had small organza booties all across with a fully sequinned border. The designer went in for a double dupatta along with an extra veil attached to the blouse. The blouse of her lehenga was a basic bustier with minimal embroidery on it. The most beautiful part of the lehenga is the customised border that consists of the palm, which is the first motif from the House of Masaba, along with a bird embellished on it.

Sleek & Clean Braid

One of the best things about Masaba Gupta's makeup and hair was her clean and sleek low braid. This was a new look for her since she has voluminous curls which she usually sports. The designer opted to keep the look minimal and slicked her hair back without any stray baby hairs running amuck.

The secret behind this minimalistic glamour is the skin-forward approach that's all about natural beauty. Rooted in the 'skinimalism' trend, the actress sported a radiant glow which was a result of an amazing and strict pre-wedding skincare routine. Furthermore, to complement her empress rose lehenga, Kiara Advani wore a muted rosy makeup look which included a flawless base topped off with a wash of blush, a little bit of eyeshadow and nude lips. Brushed-up brows and mascara lad lashes accentuate her features sans overdoing it.

Love Story Kaleeras

Kiara donned love story kaleeras designed by the amazing Mrinalini Chandra. The kaleeras were designed with gorgeous stars, moon and butterflies hanging with the couple's initials in the mix. Adding glory to the kaleeras was a thoughtful dedication to a beloved pet, a favourite travel destination and a little love and mischief. Furthermore, the jewellery designer incorporated domes to the kaleeras as per the bride's instructions, a callback to the couple's love for domed architecture.

For her haldi, Hansika matched the beautiful, vibrant decor of sunflowers with a dainty white sharara set that featured yellow flowers. A soft, youthful visage and floral jewellery in hues matching her outfit complemented her bridal glow. Honestly, this is a step further than wearing white on your haldi.
