Haldi special floral dupatta
Radhika wowed everyone with her exquisite dupatta made of fresh flowers for her haldi ceremony. The floral dupatta perfectly complemented the vibrant yellow lehenga designed by ace designer Anamika Khanna. The intricately woven dupatta featured 90 yellow marigold flowers and thousands of fresh jasmine buds. She paired the outfit with custom-made floral jewellery.

Chrystal lehenga for sangeet
Radhika Merchant enthralled everyone with her amazing dance number on her sangeet night. She looked dazzling in a golden lehenga adorned with 25,000 Swarovski crystals. The skirt featured 3D floral prints too. The lehenga designed by Manish Malhotra was inspired by Victorian aesthetics.

Radhika enhanced the sangeet look with a high ponytail and minimal make-up. Meanwhile, the statement diamond and ruby choker piece with matching earrings and diamond bangles complemented her elaborate outfit.

Luxury cruise date
Radhika didn’t compromise on her fabulous fashion choices even while receiving more than 800 guests on board a luxury cruise liner for her pre-wedding festivities. The bespoke gold sculpted dress that she wore for a theme party was from the Grace Ling couture. The golden gown created by merging gold and silver shades using aerospace aluminium technology created waves in the fashion industry. She completed the look with a pair of gold earrings and loose tresses. Fashion experts call this outfit a perfect fusion of art and technology.
