The attire of the bride and groom primarily adds to the royal theme wedding. Hence, it is essential to choose the wedding attire that fits the theme of the wedding. A heavily embellished lehenga for the bride and matching Sherwani for the groom is ideal wedding finery to mark the royal wedding. Jewellery also plays an important role in completing the royal theme wedding look. Intricate diamond or Kundan jewellery will give a royal look to the couple and will match the opulence of the theme.
