Shilpa Shetty birthday special: Her wedding album (see pics)

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra lavish wedding was no less than a royal alliance. From the décor, ambience, guests and the couple itself, everything speaks volume of the magnificent royal elegance witnessed at their wedding.

Shilpa Shetty tied the knot with London-based businessman Raj Kundra in the year 2009 after dating the man for a few years.

Today, as she turns 40, we present you a quick glimpse of her wedding album.

Shilpa Shetty, a Bollywood product, became an over the night international celebrity due to her highly controversial ‘Big Brother' stint.
 

 Then after, there seemed no look back by the actress and she started dating Raj Kundra.

While the exquisite beauty's wedding locks were designed in structured ‘Bunt' traditions, she wore a Punjabi traditional ‘chuda' and ‘kalirey' too in her wedding.

The wedding saree designed by noted designer Tarun Tahiliani had the strings of gold and silver in it and it was the one completely embellished outfit that enhanced Shilpa's gorgeous bridal charm.

The groom, Raj Kundra sported a maroon ‘sherwani' with golden embroidery and a turban with his face veiled by a traditional ‘sehera' coprising strings of pearls.
