Actress Aditi Rao Hydari took the plunge and said ‘I do’ to her long-term beau, actor-director Siddharth, in a beautiful and intimate wedding ceremony. The couple chose a 400-year-old temple in Wanaparthy, a location holding special significance for them, to mark this special occasion.
The bride’s ensemble, custom-designed by the ever-reliable wedding designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, was a lesson in timeless elegance. Aditi Rao Hydari opted for a traditional white and gold sari, allowing her stunning jewelry to take center stage. It wasn’t about flashy diamonds or an overload of jewels; instead, she embraced the subtle beauty of temple-inspired pieces, perfectly complementing the sacred setting of her wedding.
The jewelry, a masterpiece in itself, was a true celebration of traditional South Indian craftsmanship. Delicate jhumkas adorned with polki diamonds, pearls, and rubies set in floral motifs danced with every graceful movement of her head. A stunning jadau neckpiece, featuring traditional South Indian emblems, added a regal touch to her ensemble. The bangles were a captivating mix of thin gold offerings, enamelled with polki and meenakari work, and intricately engraved khudai, showcasing a dazzling array of rubies and gemstones.
Aditi Rao Hydari completed her look with a traditional bullakku nath, a nose ring, a crescent moon mehendi detail, and a captivating pair of antique-finish ghungroos that accentuated her dainty ankles. This unique addition, often overlooked by brides in favour of heavy lehengas, added a touch of whimsy to her ensemble, perfectly capturing the essence of her nostalgic and elegant style.
The actress’s wedding look was a breathtaking testament to her love for Indian traditional clothing and jewelry, offering a fresh perspective on bridal elegance. Her choice of a simple yet impactful ensemble, adorned with traditional temple jewelry, was a celebration of her personal style and the significance of the location, leaving an unforgettable mark on the hearts of those who witnessed this beautiful union.
