Master crafter Sabyasachi thoughtfully curated a colour palette for the couple’s outfit, to complement the scenic beauty of their Italian wedding venue.

To bring out the beauty of the bride in its most pristine form, the designer ensured that everything from the decor to the outfit was in sync with one another. Her outfit had a renaissance embroidery in a vintage English colour palette of subtle shades that are pleasing and yet gorgeous to look at. Anushka’s lehenga choli had all the flora and fauna from the Garden of Eden in silver and golden threads with the hints of different shades of pink and peach to add the perfect colour touch. These shone spectacularly owing to pearl and beaded details.
