My bridal look was inspired by the beauty of regal simplicity, and a reflection of my true being. I wanted to feel like the most authentic version of myself—classic, and traditional.I didn’t want to see myself as an OTT bride, but just as me - embracing my natural beauty with grace and exuding confidence for the most special day.
My dress was highly influenced by my veil (and not the other way around)… A cathedral veil alludes to the sacredness of a Christian bride symbolising modesty and regality. This being the longest form of a veil, heightens the symbolism of bridal importance. The veil details that I chose, included creeping of flowers from the bottom up, this was the only element that featured any bead work on my complete bridal look, keeping the minimal details more amplified. I opted to wear this over my head for the ceremony which is also a more traditional way of wearing a cathedral veil. Working on this with .za was an absolute dream, she is such a perfectionist but never fails to listen to what her client wants.I appreciated you and our sessions so much .za . You made the process so easy. 🫶
Choosing my wedding dress, I knew I wanted something fitted, with the detailing focused on the panels and the train. Classic elements like the delicate buttons trailing down the back and the structured paneling around the bust made it feel refined. But it was the backless design that truly sealed the deal for me (iykyk) - the dress embodied every bit of my style and character.
Throughout the process, I didn’t have bridesmaids but I had my mom. My mom was with me for all consults and was part of the process from the inception, and honestly her opinion was the only one that truly mattered.🤍
And if you made it to the end of this post — the audio on this post was my entrance song. The original version came out in 2006 and I fell in love with it then. The lyrics are so beautiful, and as an OG Bollywood girlie, it only felt right to have some part of it on my big day.
