In the realm of Bollywood, celebrities don’t merely follow trends; they are trendsetters, especially when it comes to wedding jewellery.
Departing from the conventional bridal reds, stars now favour ivories and pastels in clothing choices.
Similarly, contemporary brides and their entourage lean towards jewellery that reinterprets Indian traditions through modern cuts and styles.
