Even if you're unable to make it to Sonam Kapoor's wedding with Anand Ahuja, fear not: almost every aspect of the celebrity wedding will feature on Instagram. After two star-studded functions over the past two days, the star is finally on her way to tying the knot with entrepreneur Anand Ahuja this morning. The bride and groom are to perform the Sikh ceremony of Anand Karaj at Bandra's Rockdale—the Mumbai residence of Kavita Singh, Kapoor's maternal aunt. The key question on everyone's minds since the celebrations started has been quite the obvious one—what will Sonam Kapoor wear to her wedding? Trust the style maven to have made an unusual choice—she opted for a traditional red and gold lehenga by Anuradha Vakil.
Kapoor's unconventional choice will no doubt be remembered for years to come, and might even eventually give rise to a trend of brides choosing vintage textiles over spangled sequins for their big day. Anuradha Vakil is a noted name in textile design, and Kapoor wore her work for the mehandi celebrations as well. Kapoor's bridal lehenga was accessorised with stunning vintage style jewellery—a choker layered with a guttapusalu necklace and multi-stranded matha patti completed her look. Groom Anand Ahuja on the other hand looked dapper in a bandhgala by Raghavendra Rathore.

The most popular wedding dresses in history were made by designers who don't necessarily make the obvious choice for a wedding look. Princess Diana, for example, chose husband-wife duo David and Elizabeth Emanuel to give life to her unforgettable gown. Princess Grace of Monaco's wedding dress, which served as inspiration for Kate Middleton's dress later, was created by Academy Award-winning costume designer Helen Rose. The dress was gifted by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to the star. The most memorable thing about these looks, apart from the fact that they were worn by women of style, is their uniqueness—it truly separates them from the masses.
After last evening's mehandi festivities and the afternoon's wedding celebrations, the newlyweds are set to host a sangeet for the wedding party this evening. Stay tuned for all the updates.
