So before you book any appointments in a bridal store, check out Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath’s swoon-inducing wedding looks:
For the main wedding, Ginni Chatrath wanted a classic red lehenga, Rimple and Harpeet Narula shared in an Instagram post on Wednesday. “After a number of private consultations at our atelier, we zeroed in on a stunning antique hand-painted Pichhwai that would be the inspiration behind her lehenga’s art work,” the designers wrote. The textile of Ginni Chatrath’s lehenga depicted a stunning riverside view of the Mathura Ghats, which was meticulously translated on to each panel of the lehenga to achieve a 360-degree view of the riverfront as it was in the past. The handcrafted skirt was rendered on tulle using Kashmiri-tilla, resham, sippi and sucha gota. It was paired with a blouse featuring a tessellated dabbi jaal derived from a Mughal jharokha and sheer tulle dupattas. Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma wanted a restrained look albeit with a pop of colour, the designers shared. “His sherwani was done in a lush old green taken from the shades foliage present in Ginni’s lehenga-scape,” they wrote. Kapil’s silk jacket was first hand-pleated and then overlayed with a dabbi jaal using antique sippi and finished with a hand crafted marodi embroidery border. It was paired with a hand-printed chanderi kurta-churidar and a pair of lavish juttis.
For their Amritsar reception, designers Rimple and Harpeet Narula took a very traditional route with Ginni Chatrath’s pistachio-hued lehenga, which they paired with a classic kurti. The designers shared on Instagram that Ginni’s tulle and silk lehenga featured a jaal of gokru gotta and kachi-patti embroidery, which formed a resplendent canopy over delicate floral blossoms and peacock motifs derived from a Mughal Garden of Paradise miniature painting. The traditional Kachi Patti embroidery involves an almost origami-like technique of delicate hand folded gota petals combined with metal salma and tikkis meticulously sewn on the ground fabric. Rimple and Harpeet Narula wrote that the embroidery was combined along with resham, textured metal sequins and semi-precious stones to render the intricately detailed motifs on the lehenga and kurti. The sheer tulle odhna featured a multi-hued patchwork border and delicate floral trellises. Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma’s lush burgundy toned velvet bandhgala featured asymmetrical bursts of floral motifs rendered in dabka and kasab; it was paired with a pair of slim fit pants and hand embroidered bespoke shoes.
For Ginni Chatrath and Kapil Sharma’s Mumbai reception, the couple asked the Padmaavat designers to come up with a concept that was rich and traditional, as well as modern at the same time, Rimple and Harpeet Narula shared on Instagram. Ginni Chatrath’s reception lehenga was a lavish ode to an archival 18th century European Chintz textile from the designers’ personal collection. The handcrafted lehenga featured a melange of motifs — birds of paradise, blooming lotus blossoms, brimming Vases of Plenty — rendered on tulle using delicate resham aari embroidery, chaawal-tanka stitches, nalki and nakshi, imported sequins, crystals and multi-hued pearls. Ginni Chatrath’s lehenga was paired with a sequin encrusted corset and wispy tulle dupatta. For Kapil Sharma, Rimple and Harpeet Narula made a classic black silk bandhgala jacket teamed with a pair of slim cut pants. The jacket featured tonal resham thread embroidery, used as a painterly homage to depict an artwork of florals and foliage derived from the works of the iconic 19th century British textile designer William Morris, the designers shared. The look was finished off with a pair of bespoke embroidered shoes.
