In Arpita Mehta
The Dagubatti-Bajaj pre-wedding festivities have begun and at her haldi ceremony, the bride to be was spotted wearing an Arpita Mehta lehenga with cowrie shell jewellery. She also wore another pink outfit by Arpita for her mehendi, although we don’t have a full length at this time.

Both outfits are beautiful. Is the cowrie shell jewelry ceremonial? The shells make her face look very square
No, the shell jewelry is not ceremonial.
Liked the outfits. Didnt like the shell jewellery, its one too many shells and somehow didnt gel. Maybe if it were just the earrings and the flower maang tikka, it mightve worked better.
Minus the skirt like thing, the pink outfit looks good. Also, what is shell ‘jewellery’ for pre wedding??? Looks more like beach bonfire attire.
why is this posted under ‘The Daily Etcetera’?
@DiptiN – No, cowrie shell jewelry is not ceremonial in either culture. This was definitely a stylistic or fashion choice, and a bold one. I think this would have looked great with beach wear (and even then it’s a bit too much of shells) but doesn’t look as good with the lehenga.
She is very pretty and that smile is genuinely lovely! I like it when people don’t “smize” on these pages 🙂
Love the yellow outfit on her, beautiful and she has a lovely smile. Initially I wasn’t a big fan of the shell jewelry but the more I look at it, the less I mind it. In a way it’s really refreshing to not see gold and diamonds and just natural materials and it goes well with the yellow lehenga which was a clever color choice.
Love the yellow outfit..subtle summery colors, no over designing..that lehenga skirt fabric looks super comfy and earthy..
The yellow outfit is by Anand Kabra?
The pink is by Arpita
Is it just me or do belts on lehengas and sarees seem overkill? I like fusion wear but when everyone wears the same thing, it loses its appeal. Give me a good old lehenga and saree without the belts and the frills.
Both outfits n styling are lovely! More pics on southindiafashion site
She looks lovely in pink n yellow… the shells r for Haldi function … just like some go for flower jewelry . She makes it work
