A look back at Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s dreamy wedding festivities in Rajasthan

Bollywood’s IT couple Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal took the internet by storm after they officially announced their wedding in December 2021. After keeping their relationship under wraps, the couple surprised the fans with their oh-so-dreamy wedding pictures. A sweet union started off at Zoya Akhtar’s party and it ended up transpiring at the grand Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan.

Lavish Venue

The couple chose Rajasthan to start the beginning of their journey. Till the very last minute, VicKat or their family members didn’t reveal anything about the wedding. They decided to tie the knot at the 700-year-old Fort Resort in Sawai Madhopur. The three-day extravaganza affair was all about love. The couple sent the wedding invite to 120 guests including close friends and family members. They opted for shades of pastel for the invite as it featured floral borders with Vicky and Katrina’s names embossed in gold. Since the love birds wanted to keep the celebration away from the public eye, the wedding planners put up special welcome hampers for the guests in their rooms along with the dos and don’ts note at the wedding.

 

Mehendi fun

The wedding festivities kicked off in style with the Mehendi ceremony. It set the wedding mood right in every sense. The couple was seen living their lives to the fullest. Not only they danced with the family members but they performed for each other too. Katrina looked like a ray of sunshine in her outfit. She wore a multi-coloured Sabysaschi lehenga with a patchwork blouse and an embroidered tulle dupatta. She went all out with the accessories too. She completed her look with Navaratan-inspired jewellery and subtle makeup. Her natural glow was more than enough to make her look breathtakingly beautiful. With henna also, Katrina left no stone unturned to get it perfect. She kept it traditional and desi with Vicky’s name on it. On the other hand, Punjabi Munda Vicky wore a silk kurta with an embroidered raw silk bandhgala jacket. All in all, Vicky and Katrina let their inner filmy keeda out and set the dance floor on fire with their moves. Speaking of the decor, the fort looked all things beautiful as it was decked up with lots of lights and yellow gendha flowers.

Sundowner 

Vicky and Katrina’s pre-wedding shoot was all about vintage love. For the sundowner, Katrina chose to pay homage to her mother’s British roots. She wore Sabyasachi’s pastel-hued tulle saree which was made keeping vintage-inspired couture in mind. The saree featured a silhouette like that of a wedding gown. The saree also featured hand-embroidered flowers on it. Katrina completed her look with a long matching veil, an uncut diamond statement choker and matching earrings. Reportedly, her outfit was made by 40 artisans. Vicky, on the other hand, donned a light beige silk embroidered sherwani.

She completed her look with uncut diamonds laden in 22k gold and hand-strung pearls. She also wore red chooda and custom-made kaleeras styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania. The kaleeras featured bespoke bird charms with customized messages from Katrina herself. Each bangle carried 6-7 messenger doves. It also featured words from the Bible on them. Speaking of her mangalsutra, it was all things chic. Her Sabyasachi mangalsutra came with two small drop-down diamonds. Her groom opted for an embroidered Sabyasachi sherwani.
