Designer Sabyasachi created Anushka and Virat's outfits.
He wrote on his social media account about their outfits, "A pale pink lehenga with Renaissance embroidery in vintage English colours embellished with silver-gold metal thread, pearls and beads. Bridal jewellery handcrafted with syndicate uncut diamonds, pale pink spinel and baroque Japanese cultured pearls by the Sabyasachi Heritage Jewelry collection" and for Virat he wrote, "Ivory raw silk sherwani hand-embroidered in a vintage Benarasi pattern and signature House buttons with an old Rose silk Kota safa. Accessories by Sabyasachi."
He also wrote, "Anushka was to get married in Florence! And her lehenga just had to fit in. So we chose a colour that would blend in the whimsical Tuscan surrounding rather than stand out. It was blush pink with tropical flora and fauna, hand embroidered in silk floss. Exotic birds and butterflies were rendered with the finest quality needle craft. It took 67 karigars, 32 days to complete the ensemble. To complement her lehenga, beautiful jadau jewellery was handcrafted in uncut diamonds, pearls and pale pink spinel."
While talking to IANS, the designer spoke about her Mehendi outfit and more. He said: "Hot pink was her favourite. We created a graphic lehenga in fuchsia pink and Indian orange. It was hand-printed by the famed Calcutta block printers and hand-embroidered with gotta and marori."
She accessorised this bright look with a pair of jhumkas crafted in 22-carat gold with Iranian turquoise, tourmalines, uncut diamonds and Japanese cultured pearls. Custom juttis in handwoven brocade and zardosi completed the look.
Virat went for a signature khadi kurta churidar with a classic fuchsia pink textured silk Nehru jacket detailed with the Sabyasachi House blazer buttons. A custom tan leather jutti with a zardosi crest was created for the ensemble.
Anushka went for a velvet sari for the engagement in the label's "signature Gulkand Burgundy".
"It was hand-embroidered using miniature pearls and the finest quality zardosi and marori. She wore an uncut diamond and pearl choker with matching studs," Mukherjee described.
Her look was complemented with kohl-rimmed eyes, red roses, and the label's iconic micro-dot bindi.
