WMG Red Carpet Bride with Anita Dongre : Part 1- Royalty in Blue !

Last week, we had the FUNNEST (is that a word?) time at the Anita Dongre bridal studio in Phoenix Mills Mumbai. We were like kids in a candy store surrounded by one gorgeous bridal outfit after another . The thing about Anita Dongre outfits- they walk that line of tradition and modernity with such ease, any bride would be lucky to be an Anita Dongre bride ! Better yet, three WMG Readers were chosen to to be decked up in Anita Dongre outfits, get a makeover by makeup artist Fatima Soomar and get a bridal photoshoot of a lifetime by Monisha Ajgaonkar (The Photo Diary) !!! After a day of super excitement, gorgeous gota patti outfits in the most scrumptious colors, a whole lot of girly gossip and sandwiches to munch on  - these were the results!

Meet Surabhi

A lawyer by profession and a self confessed WMG fan (yeayiii!), Surabhi is just two months away from exchanging vows. While she was busy planning every small detail of her wedding, The Red Carpet Bride came along to give her the much needed break! "My heart did a little jig on finding out that WMG Red Carpet Bride is coming to Mumbai" gushes Surabhi.

Fatima gets to work on Surabhi! Love the hair !

From the bride: "Stepping into the Anita Dongre Store was like being transported to a Bridal Trousseau Heaven. The blue lehenga looked very traditional yet edgy and the off white contrast choli looked absolutely stunning with it. The intricate detailing literally made me sigh every time I looked at myself. It all came together looking exceptionally graceful and polished, and I feel this outfit would be the perfect choice for my Wedding Reception! Infact I am kind of convincing my mom to buy me this outfit and hopefully after she sees these pictures she shall relent. Fatima was super good at her work and convinced me to go in for a messy updo which ended up looking great. Monisha was a pleasure to shoot with. She made everything seem very natural and was a whole lot of fun. Thank you sooooo much, Team Wed Me Good, for everything. This was a truly magical experience." It was our pleasure to host you Surabhi. Other parts in this series coming up soon!     [handbook] The Photo Diary, Anita Dongre, and Fatima Soomar are all members of the WMG Handbook [vendor]
