Her outfit is a traditional interpretation of ‘Panetar’, a Gujarati tradition of brides wearing red and white, Rhea detailed.

The ensemble comprised a trailing ghagra layered with a second detachable trail, a 5 meter head veil and a tissue shoulder dupatta, the designer revealed.

“The ghagra glitters with three borders of red, Its workmanship is the finest amalgamation of Naqshi, Saadi and Zardozi symmetrically hand-embroidered in intricate floral booties that are lavishly decorated with stones, sequins, tamba tikkis and a touch of red Resham. The head veil has impossibly delicate jaali and cut-work while the detachable trail is a Zardozi marvel of 80 inches,” Rhea said.

The outfit is complete with a fully embroidered red shoulder dupatta that uplifts the silhouette with its maximal drama.
