Bollywood starlet Neha Dhupia was the showstopper. She looked like quite the gothic bride in a full length eclectic outfit made of vintage laces, chiffon and net. The ensemble also featured a very “showstopper” black peplum belt.

The multi layers which gave a very tier like effect was seen on a wide array of outfits and comprised the lower part of the ensemble. The flouncy effect was highlighted by the use of thin borders.

Floral Headwear

The floral headwears gave a demure look to the models. Wearing flowers on the hair is a very traditional Indian custom for the brides; we love how the designers combined this custom with its western counterpart and made the models wear floral crowns.

The collection was truly lovely and high on the wearability factor. We can envision brides decked up in the finery from Falguni and Shane Peacock’s “Garden of Eden” line.
