Actor duo Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal are one of the cutest pairs of Bollywood. Having dated for more than seven years now, we have seen them be each other’s biggest cheerleaders, share the big screen and give us #couplegoals on Instagram. Now, finally, after the pandemic delayed their plans of getting hitched, Chadha and Fazal are all set to get married. While the wedding took place in Lucknow, their pre-wedding festivities kickstarted in Delhi and we have all the exclusive deets. Scroll below to find out everything we know!

Introducing Richa Chadha & Ali Fazal

Mehendi & Haldi Ceremony

While the wedding will take place in Mumbai, Richa and Ali’s pre-wedding festivities took place in the capital city, Delhi. For the mehendi and haldi function Richa Chadha wore a stunning Rahul Mishra’s hand embroidered 'Parizaad' lehenga in the old rose hue along with the 3D hand embroidered 'Medinilla' off-shoulder crop top and a coordinating, hand embroidered silk organza dupatta. With her stupendous lehenga, Chadha paired a diamond choker set and matching earrings. She went with light makeup and blown-out waves for the hairdo.

While Richa Chadha glowed in pink, the dapper groom Ali Fazal donned an ivory white angrakha created by designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.

Ali and Richa went for a dry haldi by opting for flowers. The celebration was full of love and laughter with the duo’s nearest and dearest ones being present for their mehendi and haldi function. One can tell just how happy the duo is after seeing this function’s photos.

Cocktail Function

Next was their cocktail function where Richa Chadha wore a drop-dead gorgeous golden saree by designer Kresha Bajaj. She opted for a messy ponytail and a stunning gold set. On the other hand, Ali Fazal complimented the to-be bride by donning a royal sherwani designed by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.

The Nikaah

Finally, celebrating their pre-wedding functions in Delhi, the duo went to Lucknow and had a Nikaah amongst their nearest and dearest ones. For her nuptials, Richa Chadha wore a classic off-white Chikankari Kurti with a heavily embroidered yoke and borders. Worn with a net dupatta exquisitely accented with Swarovski crystals in an all-over pattern along with a trail. Chadha opted for polki and pearl jewellery to compliment her overall look. 

While Richa Chadha stunned us in an off-white sharara by designer duo Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla, Ali Fazal also opted for Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla's creation. He went with a muted gold beige slit long tussar silk sherwani with impeccably detailed Resham hand embroidery. A dash of gold at the hem gives the look a distinctly dramatic edge. 

We absolutely love the all-white looks. The intricate work on both the bride and groom's outfits is absolutely stunning. Oh, and let's also take a minute to swoon over Richa Chadha's ethereal wedding jewellery! 

Quirky Wedding Invites 

We also came across their wedding invites which are too cute to handle. Bollywood sweetheart Richa & Ali's Save the date was all about celebrating being an 80’s kid and taking inspiration from Vintage Indian poster art. 

"Ali & Richa are a lovely playful couple and hence we wanted to design something that is reflective of their earthy and fun personality. And there is no better way to represent them than a vintage Bollywood style poster," said Puneet Gupta, Founder, Puneet Gupta Invitations. 

Going all vivid for their invites the Sangeet Invite featured a handpainted play of vibrant watercolour florals and bold botanicals. Pristine lilies, soft poppies, blooming calendulas, gallic roses, vintage snapdragons and other wildflowers form a beautiful escape into the gateway of love of Ali Fazal & Richa. The brick arch gives a gauzy inkling of the wedding venue and the dreamy decor.

Final Words

We at WeddingBazaar wish them a lifetime of happiness and togetherness!
