For her wedding attire, Radhika chose a red and white bridal lehenga, a nod to the traditional Gujarati Panetar. This exquisite outfit featured intricate Zardozi cut-work, with a flowing ghagra that included a detachable trail, a 5-meter head veil, a blouse, and a tissue shoulder dupatta. The ghagra was embellished with three red borders, showcasing a perfect blend of Naqshi, Saadi, and Zardozi techniques. The floral booties were intricately hand-embroidered with stones, sequins, Tamba tikkis, and red Resham accents. The head veil was delicately crafted with jaali and cut-work, while the 80-inch detachable trail was a masterpiece of Zardozi artistry. Completing the ensemble was a fully embroidered red shoulder dupatta, adding a dramatic flair to the outfit.

Radhika's heirloom jewelry collection included a choker passed down from her mother and grandmother, and polki earrings, a mang tika, and haath phool previously worn by her sister Anjali. She also adorned herself with a dazzling diamond and emerald necklace, kadhas, bangles, and Kaleeras, creating a stunning bridal look that combined tradition with luxury.

For her makeup, Radhika opted for a minimal yet elegant look, curated by Rhea. She wore a bold red lip, sleek winged eyeliner, mascara to accentuate her lashes, feathered brows, and rouge-tinted cheeks. A dainty bindi adorned her forehead, and her hair was styled in a centre-parted bun, embellished with gajra and roses, completing her bridal transformation with a touch of timeless beauty.

The wedding of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani was not just a union of two individuals but a celebration of heritage, tradition, and opulence, reflected in every detail of the ceremony and Radhika’s stunning bridal ensemble.
