Aishwarya Rai and Abhishekh Bachchan's wedding can be said to be the wedding of the decade. Ash took it back to her roots and was the perfect South Indian bride in her rich Kanjivaram. She was clad in a six-yard yellow dress adorned with golden thread work. Keeping it heavy on the jewellery, the former Miss World went for emeralds and diamonds – and we expected nothing less.

2) Kareena Kapoor

Only Kareena Kapoor could have managed to swap between dresses. The morning of the wedding affair witnessed the Ki & Ka star in a green kurta churidaar paired with a red dupatta

Kareena changed into mother-in-law Sharmila Tagore’s iconic wedding lehenga revamped and tailored by Ritu Kumar.

3) Soha Ali Khan

Soha allowed for her natural beauty to shine and opted for a fawn coloured lehenga choli with a bright orange dupatta for her wedding reception with actor Kunal Khemu. She kept her make-up and jewellery to a minimum, wearing just one statement-making piece – a regal emerald necklace.

4) Shilpa Shetty

Tying the knot with business tycoon Raj Kundra, it came as no surprise that Shilpa Shetty went all out with her shaadi attire. The Phir Milenge star was draped in an extravagant sari designed by Tarun Tahiliani which was covered in 8000 Swarovski crystals, costing a whopping INR 50 lakhs.

Shilpa didn’t hold back on the jewellery either, channelling her inner queen with majestic kundan jewellery, festooned with uncut diamonds and emeralds.

5) Bipasha Basu

Bipasha Basu stayed true to her Bengali roots and chose a red and gold Sabyasachi dress. Her whole look oozed tradition as the lehenga choli was covered in zari work and she wore envy inducing kundan jewellery.

6) Karisma Kapoor

Karisma Kapoor got married in a pink lehenga choli, embellished with jewels and stunning embroidery. The Biwi No 1 star was all for the bling as even her nath was adorned in glitzy crystals.

Though her marriage with businessman Sanjay Kapur didn't work out, the Raja Hindustani diva made a swoonworthy traditional bride.
