Here’s how many months Manish Malhotra took to make Poorna Patel’s wedding lehenga

Not Sakshi Dhoni or Katrina Kaif — we’re going gaga over Poorna Patel’s ethereal big day look. Watch and see all the crazy details from her custom Manish Malhotra wedding lehenga. Prepare for wedding style inspo overload.

Politician and businessman Praful Patel’s daughter, Poorna Patel and Namit Soni got married on Saturday in Mumbai, surrounded by family and friends. The pair’s A-list guest list included — Mukesh Ambani with daughter Isha Ambani, Mahendra Singh Dhoni with daughter Ziva, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, to name a few.

Like any other extravagant celeb wedding, we certainly had plenty of celebrity guests to fawn over for outfit inspo/manifest our extreme jealousy. We even rounded up the most noteworthy wedding attendants — Sakshi Dhoni, Katrina Kaif and Neha Dhupia — from this fairy tale–worthy ceremony to further add to your wedding envy.

But, while you could spend hours drooling over what celebs wore to the wedding, what caught our attention was the bride’s gorgeous wedding lehenga that really stole the day. Poorna proved she is a bride with serious style and showed her fashion prowess in an ethereal wedding lehenga from her designer friend Manish Malhotra. But there was a lot more to that gorgeous lehenga than what meets the eye.

For her big day, Poorna wore a custom made off-white and pink lehenga, which according to Manish Malhotra, who created her entire bridal trousseau, took more than three months to create. Covered from top to bottom in dainty pink floral embroidery and silver zardosi appliques, the lehenga featured a phiroze blue embroidered border. The show-stopping lehenga was also monogrammed with Poorna and Namit’s names and hand-embroidered with beautiful shlokas. With every bead, sequin, and crystal hand-sewn, the resulting look was just jaw dropping.

If you’re a feminine bride with a penchant for whimsy, Poorna’s fancy, floral lehenga from her sangeet may be perfect for you. We spotted to-die-for floral details on Poorna’s blooming lehenga. The multidimensional accents, 3-dimensional embellishment and delicate sheer floral sleeves added amazing texture and pop against an ivory canvas. The effect is dreamy while still feeling conventional.

If you think a floral ivory lehenga isn’t right for you, here’s Poorna’s boldly embroidered and elegantly appliquéd gold lehenga from her reception. There’s nothing like a bit of dazzle for bride with a flair for the bold and dramatic. Glam, showstopping, and glittering, this sophisticated-meets-sexy Manish Malhotra lehenga is the perfect choice for the fashion-forward bride looking to make a statement and turn heads.

And if you just can’t decide on which style you prefer — a lehenga dipped in gold or an dreamy and romantic floral one — Poorna’s orange and gold anarkali from her mehendi offers the perfect compromise, blending both easy and dressy for a gleaming bridal feel juxtaposed with classic silhouettes. If you don’t believe us, just take a look at how regal the bride looked.
