Amyra Dastur Shares Her Dream Wedding Moodboard

“I’ve gotten married in so many movies,” Amyra Dastur begins as she leans into the thought. “But this one… this would be just for me and my partner-to-be. I want it to be intimate and completely ours, where we actually live every moment and savour it." 

The actress, known for films such as Issaq (2013) and Mr X (2015), has imagined her wedding in the Maldives with turquoise waves stretching to the horizon, sunlight bouncing off warm sand, and a breeze teasing loose strands of her hair. Somewhere nearby, a Bruno Mars melody drifts lazily across the shore, mingling with laughter and anticipation. “Just close friends and family. No rushing, no big parties. And I want to capture everything in my memory,” she says.

A traditional Parsi wedding ceremony forms the canvas of her imagination. Amyra pictures herself in a white Tarun Tahiliani sari, embroidered with delicate Parsi Gada motifs. For the main celebration, she envisions a Sabyasachi lehenga. “I want my wedding lehenga to tell a story, to move with me, to feel easy. I want to wear the garment, and not have the garment wear me,” she explains. 

Amyra dreams of wearing heirloom pieces that have always been close to her and carry them with her into the day. “I can see myself wearing my mother’s emerald-and-diamond necklace together with my grandmother’s Faravahar pendant,” she says. “I want them to be a part of this new chapter, little pieces of my family with me as I begin this day.” 

Her beauty mood board is light, natural, and glowing. “I don’t want a pancake face. I want my skin to breathe,” she insists. Luminous, sun-kissed skin, softly flushed lips in the lightest pink, and a radiant naturalness enhanced by beach waves or a sleek updo. Her bridal mehendi will carry her husband-to-be’s initials. She would finish the look with spritzes of YSL Libre’s sensual florals and ambergris to carry with her into the evening.

The wedding day she imagines is boho-chic, romantic and effortlessly intimate with barefoot walks across warm sand, sun dipping low, soft laughter threading through small gatherings. “And before the ceremony, I imagine sharing chocolate and pizza with my bridesmaids, these mall indulgences will make it feel like our own little world,” she says.

Even as she dreams of intimacy, she holds tradition close. A small Parsi ceremony for her parents anchors the day, and the colours and silhouettes she chooses both manifest tradition and modernity. “I want a day that feels like us, classic, warm, sun-kissed, and entirely playful in its little quirks,” she says.

And the moment she is most anticipating? “Seeing my husband’s face when he first sees me, the brief catch of disbelief, that tiny tear. That’s the memory I want to carry forever,” she says.
