A modern-day bride with a timeless allure, Sharmin Segal epitomised elegance and tradition in golden bridal lehenga

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s niece, actor Sharmin Segal looked ethereal as a modern-day bride. Exuding grace and elegance in a timeless yet contemporary lehenga, Sharmin made her wedding bridal look an extension of her charming personality.

Sharmin, who tied the knot with business tycoon Aman Mehta of Torrent Pharmaceutical on November 24th in Ahmedabad, celebrated the intimate wedding ceremony among close family and friends. Sharmin’s bridal lehenga ensemble comprised a delicate skirt with bejewelled peacock and floral vine motifs, inspired from the vintage 18th-century French lace fragments sourced from Rimple and Harpreet Narula’s personal archives. A mesmerising display of creativity, each motif was embroidered first followed by the intricate cutwork to create a magical illusion of jaali-like lace.

The beauty of this statement piece was the intricate craftsmanship including the signature cutwork on the opulent skirt. Embroidered with zardozi and marodi, each embroidered panel was further layered with dabka, naqshi, sequins, pearls, crystals and semi-precious stones. Following the pastel palette, Sharmin paired the exquisite lehenga with an embroidered choli and draped a sheer tulle dupatta featuring a scalloped cutwork border. The highlight of this royal look was enhanced with a 12-foot-long train, which added the finishing touch to the graceful sequin-encrusted diaphanous tulle veil. Sharmin’s bridal look also featured a maang tika, a choker and a layered necklace that added to her wedding look.
