Another Bollywood wedding and this time it's a heartbreaker for a million lady fans of 34 year old Shahid Kapoor. Shahid Kapoor, after much speculation, finally tied the knot with Delhi based 21 year old Mira Rajput.

On Monday morning, Shahid flew out from Mumbai to Delhi. He is currently busy with commitments to talent show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, which he is judging, and will reportedly be unable to make time just now for a honeymoon.

The wedding was a traditional punjabi style wedding with Sangeet ceremony and is believed to have been attended only by family and close friends. The bride Mira Rajput chose shades of pink for her wedding ensemble with heavy Kundan jewelry. Mira wore pale pink Anamika Khanna. Shahid was dressed in an outfit by designer Kunal Rawal, who was at the wedding. Here are the exclusive wedding pics.

Dia Mirza Wedding and Reception Photos

2014-10-21T14:21:00.001-07:00

It wasn't just any ‎Ritu Kumar‬ ensemble for Dia Mirza's Delhi wedding. The actor transformed herself into a Mughal-style bride in shades of emerald and gold. In the middle of Friday night, Bollywood actor and producer Dia Mirza publicly announced a new phase of her life on Twitter—her wedding with longtime beau Sahil Sangha via a picture of the couple at the mehendi function that took place in Delhi earlier that day. Dia Mirza's wedding planners are Erina DeAbreu and Natasha Katgara Gocal of Divinity Weddings. They are also responsible for actress Vidya Balan's wedding. We have for you Dia Mirza's wedding photos.

For her mehendi ceremony, Dia Mirza posed next to Sahil Sangha wearing a deep marigold yellow colored chanderi anarkali by Ritu Kumar, with a vintage cut on the kurta. The gold metallic taar used is of silver worked in gold thread and dori, to give it a stylized plant inlay look. Each panel is highlighted with a flowering buta. The dupatta is fuschia worked with small butis of the same beaten gold gota patti, a fuschia brocade deep sinjaf finishes the edges of the outfit

The three-day celebrations started on Friday with a mehendi function, which was followed by a sangeet the next day, where Mirza was clad in an Anita Dongre ensemble at a farmhouse in New Delhi.

Ritu Kumar designed a traditional green and gold joda for the bride, the embroidery work of old zardozi craftsmanship dating back to the Mughal era. Not your conventional bridal outfit, it was made up of a kurta, farshi pajama and a dupatta. The outfit was typically Hyderabadi in aesthetic, even the dupatta's embroidery done by master craftsmen with a lineage from the Avadh court. "The elaborate borders placed on both the paat (upper half of the pajama) and the gote (lower half) seams are finished in a style typical of the Hyderabadi court, a city which Dia Mirza has lived in for many years," says the designer.

For the wedding reception outfit, Dia Mirza chose designers Shantanu & Nikhil's lehenga in raw silk.

2014-08-12T11:47:00.002-07:00

Queen Kangana Ranaut clearly ruled the ramp at the BMW India Bridal Fashion Week 2014. The 27-year-old actress was the show-stopper for designer Suneet Varma at the BMW IBFW 2014, who aptly dressed the queen in the royal velvet red saree. Making a bold statement, the red velvet saree was worn with a sexy embellished butterfly blouse and a Rajasthani headgear.

Suneet Varma’s golden crowns quickly became the talking point of his collection. He said he drew inspiration from Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. Suneet Varma's collection was traditional Indian with a modern twist‐ As an interesting departure for Suneet, this time he used a lot of shades of red from sindoor to vermillion to gulaal and fuchsia pinks from rose to deep magenta that lie at the very heart of Rajasthan. Mirrorwork embellishment with large borders in thread embroidery was also prominent in Suneet Varma's 2014 bridal collection.

We are curious! Would you consider wearing an elaborate headgear on your special day?? Post your comments below:

If you are planning to wear a saree for your wedding there's so much you can customize. If you think the task is done after picking your saree, think again! The blouse stitching is a major decision. You want the saree to stand out but why ruin a perfect saree with a boring blouse. Here are a few ideas for some stunning blouse stitching styles that will make sure you have everyone's attention even when you have turned your back at them! ;-)

Halter neck blouse
Halter neck style is a style which holds up the front with straps at the back of the nape. It could be a single strap or more to hold up the blouse giving comfort without armhole section. The back side has a simple lower back covering in a thick or thin form.

Boat neckline blouse
Boat neckline blouse usually pairs well with long or full sleeves for the blouse. The blouse covers entire neckline and is shaped like a boat

One-shoulder or over-the-shoulder blouse
One-shoulder blouses are very sexy since they only cover one shoulder creating an asymmetrical neckline that goes across the shoulder diagonally, usually from one shoulder to the back.

Collar blouse
Collar blouse is like a boat neckline blouse or v-neck blouse but with a collar

Keyhole Back Blouse Neckline

These backlines are seen in a form of a keyhole image, being a centre hollow portion at the back. It may be a simple slit at centre line. The split is usually, secured at its top with a hook and eye or loop and button. Widely in the drop shape is more popular, but now designers brought in new fashion cuts as well modifying the shape still keeping the hollowness.

Ruched front
The ruched front blouse has a nice embroidery in the middle and is ruched outwards

Planning a Marathi wedding? If you are a Marathi bride or mother of the bride :) and looking for what to wear for the wedding - saree, jewellery etc. you have reached the right place. Here are some pointers of what actual Marathi brides wore on their weddings.
Typically, Marathi brides wear one of the following colors for their bridal saree which is usually a paithani saree - yellow, mango yellow, purple, and green. Some of our Marathi brides here have chosen to be different and wore a blue or red coloured paithani as well. The jewellery is essentially one choker style gold necklace - also called as "Thushi" in Marathi. with a few other gold necklaces of varied lengths for the heavy decked up look. The next essential thing is the traditional Marathi jhumka earrings and the nath or nose-ring which is more like a mango shaped jewellery rather than a ring. Also the bajuband or armlet is a must for any traditional Marathi bride. The bajuband usually has a red coloured semi-precious stone in the middle. The green and gold bangles or toda bangles are also a traditional favourite. Hairstyle is typically a bun. Most brides wear the chandrabindu or the moon shaped bindi. That completes the traditional maharashtrian bride's attire.

Alia bhatt the newest kid on the Bollywood block is bringing sexy back with her modern traditional twist lehenga cholis. For filmfare awards, she wore this gorgeous black Manish Malhotra lehenga choli in pink and black. Pink and black is like my favourite combination for a traditional dress and this lehenga choli totally rocked it. The bow-tie in the back and the bold choice of colors was a cutesie western touch to a more traditional lehenga. Alia Bhatt's lehenga choli is perfect for a sangeet function or reception.
For Khwaab Bridal Couture 2013, Alia Bhatt was the show stopper for Kavita and Meenu and she dazzled in the golden and black lehenga choli shown in the third photo below. This golden and black lehenga is also perfect for a wedding reception event.
I also loved Alia Bhatt's more mature look in the Sabyasachi rani pink saree below.
And ofcourse, who can forget Alia Bhatt's famous bright pink and silver sequined Radha lehenga from her movie Student of the Year.
