10 Celebrity Brides Who Added Sweet Details To Their Outfits
Can’t get enough of Radhika Merchant’s love letter dress? Here are all the times celebrity brides made their wedding look extra special with some tweaks…
We’re still not over Radhika Merchant’s Robert Wun dress with Anant Ambani’s love letter printed all over it, which she recently wore for her pre-wedding festivities aboard a cruise in Italy. The words were printed in black colour, and embellished with crystals.

It was a beautiful homage to their love, and we love to see a bride give a personal touch to her wedding outfit. That way, her wedding look is only hers and nobody else’s. Here’s looking back at 10 brides who personalised elements of their wedding looks…
Celebrity brides who personalised their wedding looks
Alia Bhatt

For her wedding with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia wore a beautiful ivory Sabyasachi sari. From the colour of Alia’s sari to the wedding venue (their home in Mumbai), everything about this wedding was a minimalist’s dream, including how she chose to personalise her outfit. Her veil had their wedding date inscribed on it. It had the words ‘The fourteenth of April 2022’ embroidered in thread. We love how subtle and dainty it is!
As if this wasn’t cute enough, she gave her kaleerea a personal touch as well by adding cute little motifs of things that meant something to the couple. These motifs included clouds, waves, doves of love, butterflies, sun, sunflower, and infinity symbol (or it could be Ranbir’s lucky number 8, we will never know). Her mangalsutra also had the infinity symbol.
Arpita Mehta

For her wedding with Kunal Rawal, Arpita Mehta wore a beautiful ivory and gold mirrorwork lehenga from her eponymous label. Her veil had her and Kunal’s initials and the wedding date embroidered in French knots on the edge of the border. It’s so pretty, we might cry.
Parineeti Chopra
Parineeti Chopra wore a cream-coloured Manish Malhotra lehenga for her wedding. While some other brides on this list chose to have a very subtle approach while personalising their outfits, Parineeti took a very in-your-face route. Her veil had her husband’s name inscribed on it in big bold font. Bet you can’t miss that!
Hailey Bieber

Hailey wore a custom Off White gown designed by Virgil Abloh while getting married to Justin Bieber. Despite her unconventional choice of designer for the wedding dress, she looked phenomenal. It was an off-shoulder, backless lace gown, and her veil said the words ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ in big bold letters.
Deepika Padukone

When Deepika tied the knot with Ranveer, she wore a stunning Sabyasachi lehenga with the Sanskrit words ‘Sada Saubhagyavati Bhava’ written on the border, which translates to ‘May you always be lucky as a married woman’. It looked beautiful and earthy. It also became a huge trend for bridal outfits for months to follow, might I add.
Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra’s Ralph Lauren wedding gown had eight special words and phrases sewn on it, including Nick Jonas’ full name, her parent’s names, the Hindu mantra ‘Om Namah Shivaay’, the wedding date, the words ‘hope’, ‘love’, ‘compassion’ and ‘family’. Not just that, she also had a small piece of fabric from her mother-in-law's wedding outfit sewn into her dress. Okay, that’s super sweet.
Meghan Markle

Royal wedding dresses have some seriously high standards to live up to. Yet Meghan Markle’s Givenchy wedding dress did not disappoint. Her wedding look was not only dreamy in the most minimalistic and effortless way, but she also managed to pay homage to all the Commonwealth nations. Her veil had flowers from each of the 56 Commonwealth countries embroidered on it. Talk about paying a beautiful tribute!
Athiya Shetty

Athiya Shetty wore a beautiful pastel Anamika Khanna lehenga on her wedding but she added a personal touch to her look through her kaleere. Like most Bollywood brides, herKaleerewere designed by Mrinalini Chandra. They had sun motifs, with several sunflower motifs around them. The sun motifs had Saptpadi wedding vows inscribed on them in Sanskrit. One sun motif also had their wedding date inscribed on it. How cute is that!
Patralekhaa
Patralekhaa wore a red Sabyasachi lehenga for her wedding with Rajkummar Rao. Her veil had a border similar to that of Deepika’s, though hers had a Bengali phrase printed on it, which was written by the designer, which translates to ‘I offer my heart, completely filled with love, to you’. Our hearts are so full!
Kiara Advani
Kiara Advani also gave her outfit a personal touch through her kaleere. It had several motifs that carried a lot of meaning for the couple. Apart from stars, moons and butterflies, these motifs included her husband Siddharth’s late pet dog Oscar’s face, the couple’s initials, and a tribute to the couple’s favourite travel destination. We approve!
