Sonakshi Sinha’s Wedding Outfits:

Bollywood is the single most propagator of the big fat Indian wedding aesthetic with larger than life venues (Rajasthani palaces and Italian lakes being the most popular) and decor, and of course, the most ostentatious outfits. But, Sonakshi Sinha’s wedding to long-time beau, Zaheer Iqbal, was a subversion that no one was expecting. The actors entered matrimony by signing papers in the most low-key event surrounded by friends and families followed by a reception party. Naturally, their outfits, too, were an extension of that simplistic outlook for both events, but in no way were they not statement-making.

Sonakshi’s First Outfit:

For the wedding ceremony, Sonakshi chose a cream-coloured sari embroidered with intricate chikankari work and a simple high-neck blouse. According to sources, the sari belongs to her mother, Poonam Sinha, who wore it to her wedding with Shatrughan Sinha in 1980. The motifs featured are nature-inspired, with flowers and foliage designs. She accessorized her look with a simple pearl choker, matching earrings and stacked three matching bangles in her right hand. On her left, she wore gold kadas. She kept her makeup neutral and decorated her hair with flowers.

Sonakshi’s Reception Sari:

For the reception, Sonakshi wore a handwoven Banarasi sari from Raw Mango by designer Sanjay Garg that retails on his website for Rs 79,800. Featuring 18th century-inspired buttas in the shape of crescent moon, the sari was the perfect continuation of the vintage theme of the wedding. She chose a necklace made with jade stones and meenakari detailing, and matching danglers. She wore red bangles, symbolic of a newly married woman, to finish the look.
