Radhika Merchant's vidai look:
Radhika's custom Manish Malhotra lehenga features a stunning backless blouse embellished with real gold Karchobi work, inspired by the traditional ‘abho’ and the rich textile heritage of Kutch, Gujarat, echoing the artistry of the late 19th century. The brocade silk lehenga, a tribute to India's timeless elegance, boasts multiple panels adorned with Banarasi brocade print in sunset hues.
Radhika completed her ensemble with a Banarasi silk dupatta and a lattice design veil. The dupatta, adorned with real gold embroidery and Resham work, was draped elegantly over her shoulder and arms. To finalise her vidai look, she wore the veil with a massive train draped over her head.

The newlywed adorned herself with a gold, diamond, and emerald choker, a luxurious necklace, polki earrings, baaju bandh, kadhas, bangles, haath phool, rings, and a mang tika. These heirloom pieces have been passed down through Radhika's family for generations and were also worn by her sister Anjali Merchant on her wedding day.
