Nita Ambani
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are all set to tie the knot. The couple will have a grand wedding ceremony today at the Jio Convention Centre in Mumbai. For the baraat festivity, mother of the groom, Nita Ambani wore a stunning traditional saree. The outfit reflects Nita Ambani's vision of celebrating the incredible talent of Indian artisans, while sharing the cultural legacy of our country with the world.
The peach silk ghagra combines hues of vintage bronze, blushing pink and pistachio green. Worn with a jaali blouse crafted in Naqshi and Saadi gold along with silver Zardozi work that is fabulously finished with a dazzling sprinkle of Swarovski crystals, the outfit emanates a regal aura.
Handcrafted by the master artisans of Swadesh, the special outfit has been paired with a traditional 'Ranghaat' dupatta in exuberant pastel shades.
