    • @RB perhaps the next time the actors get married, they should do a poll on what colour should they wear on their wedding day. After all they are celebrities, they cannot and should not wear what they like on their wedding day.

    • I agree, quite a bit fatigued by the washed out pink with the white and pink flowers (vs red roses and marigolds). Am begging for some color (like Katrina’s bridal…just resplendent!). Not just celebrities, all Indian brides are in pastels oflate that really washes them out, and then they dictate the theme to be pastels, and so the poor guests also arrive looking bleak, and some out of town guests scrambling to find light colors in their suitcases!.

  1. That is one hidious neckpiece.
    And if u hide the face, she looks just like Anushka, mellowed down version. No novelty. At this point, it all looks like school, sorry wedding uniform.

  2. She looks beautiful and the color suits her. Cannot see the top but the hand work on the skirt is just out of this world. Congratulations to both

  3. Lets not for once gauge her/their fashion sense…she is looking resplendent and am sure since its her day she must have thought the best for herself and moved forward,which bride does not want to look her best on her d day…..Weddings are a very personal affair and i think we should just respect and congratulate the newly weds ..its their day …a beginning of new life..just bec they are public domain does not give us the right to rip them apart?!!…..give them and any other couple who are getting married a break. ya ..the wedding pics are for us to admire and feel happy in their happiness and not decide what would have been better…my two cents with no malice to one n all…

  4. Ok
    This is a fashion blog, i assume Its ok to comment on the fashion aspect of the wedding outfits!
    no need tag every critique/opinion as being rude.
    Its just an opinion.
    People can and must wear What they want!
    And at this blog, we are invited to share our personal opinion- it doesnt mean Its correct.
    Its just an opinion.

    Peace out, gorgous Ladies!

  5. Folks who criticize this look (and others) as mere copy-paste should consider that Rakul may have genuinely “fangirled” over Anushka’s bridal outfit. I am implying that Rakul and others don’t find it wrong/boring/self-devaluing to emulate something they love.

  6. I think there is a lot of discomfort among commentators around critiquing wedding outfits, even though honestly, I think some of the comments described above as ‘rude’ are fine for a fashion blog. However, I do get where this squeamishness is coming from & that the bride shouldn’t have to wake up to such comments. Hence Payal, does it make sense to stop posting wedding pics altogether? After all, this is a fashion blog and no point posting pictures to just wish them luck, which whoever wants to can very well do on social media once celebs put their own posts. Once you post pictures on a fashion blog, you open them to, and in fact invite, commentary. Might be a thought worth considering.

    • I think it’s ok to critique the clothes, but you don’t need to compare the choice of clothes to others. So what if it looked similar to someone else? There are only so many ways to wear a lehenga or a saree or suit. If everyone wore read, people would once again say it’s copy paste/uniform etc. Critique the clothes, not the person; don’t compare. It’s like parents who compare their kids to other people’s kids, it serves no purpose because no two people are alike.

      As for color – we are fortunate that we can wear color. Imagine a Catholic bride in a green dress! Yes, red is traditional but people have been doing maroons, pinks, golds, oranges for a long time. My 90 year old mom wore orange 65 years ago, and I wore gold 30 years ago.

      Some colours are better suited to time and place. Rakul got married in the late afternoon on a beach. Maybe red would not be the best color in those circumstances. An evening wedding in an AC room – yes, sure. The color was time and place appropriate, and she was able to carry it off.

      And just for the record, plenty of people have chosen reds – Yami, PC, Sonam, Katrina, Deepika. I don’t really think pastels are a uniform. As for people being forced to wear a certain palette – that I don’t get – you shouldn’t want to wear what the brides wearing – it’s her day to shine. I don’t get mothers/sisters of the bride or groom wearing lehengas and super heavy jewelry to compete with the bride. Just my two cents.

  7. Just to let yall know, Anushka didn’t set the pink trend. Many women in the past have had different colors for bridal wear. So this “Bollywood trend” has been around for years. Let’s see some pastel blues now hehe.

    • I agree. Every 5 years, the colour in vogue changes. If you are in your 30s and older, you have seen it all.
      When my oldest cousins got married in the late 90s – they wore bronze and rust coloured lehengas/Pastel pink silk saris with some intricate work.
      The ones who married between 2000 and 2010 wore a lot of pink. Royal Blue also got a lot of love after Shilpa Shetty wore it in Dhadkan. Yellow also got a lot of love. Around 2014-2015, I saw a lot of brides wear gold saris/lehengas..
      All colours get their day under the sun with one color dominating bridal wear for 5-6 years. It’s your choice if you want to follow a trend, deliberately not follow a trend, wear a traditional red weave or wear a colour that looks amazing on you whether it is in trend or not.
