The wedding was a blend of the cultures that each of them represented. “Rupali started getting ready at 6.30am and wore a beautiful white mekhela chador from Assam, which matched Ashish’s white and gold Mundu from Kerala. Her exquisite gold jewelery was inspired by south Indian temple art,” said her stylist Rajat. “As for makeup, she went for a simple dewy look, with her hair tied up in a bun and adorned with fresh flowers,” added makeup artist Kaushik.
The wedding was followed by a formal reception.
