Day 1: An Evening in Everland
Picture this: a custom-made blush pink Versace dress with bespoke jewellery. Got goosebumps, ladies? Well, that’s exactly what Radhika wore, and Anant Ambani isn’t the only one going crazy over it. The whole world is!
March 1st marked the first night, featuring a grand dinner in a stunning glass structure inspired by Radhika’s favorite place in New York, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
The night concluded with a sensational performance by none other than Ri-Ri herself. While we all revelled in the concert through social media clips, the Ambanis experienced an unforgettable live show, setting the tone for what promises to be the wedding event of the year.
Day 3: “Hastakshar”
The D-day is the night of Hastakshar (Indian Prenuptial tradition). Radhika Merchant graced the night in her eloquent sari by Tarun Tahiliani, while Anant Ambani spread his charm in an ivory sherwani by Rohit Bahl. The couple took their walk down to the temple and signed the papers for their weddings in front of their 1500 guests.
Pre-Wedding Cruise: A Voyage of Love
The Ambani pre-wedding celebrations took to the high seas with a lavish pre-wedding cruise in May. The cruise was spanned across four days, making stops across the Mediterranean from May 29 to June 1. With 1200 guests, including celebrities like Adam Sandler, this cruise was the Ambanis’ way of giving back to the people who have given them so much.
The cruise began in Palermo, with a beautiful welcome lunch for the guests. The night was a dreamy, starry party, where Radhika sparkled in her gown designed by Robert Wun, which had a love letter from Anant Ambani printed on it. Yes, a new level of cuteness is unlocked!
As the ship sailed through Rome, the second night featured a toga party. The college sweethearts wanted to pay tribute to their alma maters, NYU and Brown, so they themed the party around it. And guess who was the DJ of this college bash? David Guetta.
The third night was a Masquerade Ball in Cannes. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant stole the show in their custom Dolce & Gabbana and Versace ensembles, respectively. But the cherry on top was the fiery performance of Katy Perry’s “Firework,” followed by an unexpected concert by Pitbull.
The final stop was Portofino, where the Ambanis transformed the main square into an open-air market with food stalls, creating a magical end to an unforgettable celebration.
