In a celebration filled with love, laughter, and timeless elegance, Akansha Ranjan looked radiant in a custom-designed Arpita Mehta sari during her wedding festivities. The moments captured the pure joy of the occasion, Akansha, dressed in a vibrant red and gold ensemble, beaming with delight as her now husband filmmaker Sharan Sharma, shared heartfelt words on stage for her, surrounded by lush white floral arrangements and sparkling chandeliers.
Dressed in a bespoke creation by designer Arpita Mehta, the actor embraced the timeless elegance of an Indian bride while adding a fresh, contemporary perspective that felt deeply personal.
Styled by celebrity stylist Ami Patel, with assistance from Tanya Mehta, Akansha’s look celebrated craftsmanship over excess, proving that bridal fashion can be understated yet unforgettable.
Drawing inspiration from the delicate beauty of pressed flowers, the sari exudes a soft, feminine, and deeply romantic aesthetic. A bespoke floral print forms the foundation, brought to life with vintage dull-gold floral embroidery, intricate Falisa work, and Arpita Mehta’s signature tiny mirror embellishments that catch the light with every movement. The finely woven Banarasi drape adds a rich traditional touch, perfectly balancing contemporary design with centuries-old craftsmanship.
Akansha’s look was completed with statement traditional jewellery — a striking maang tikka, layered necklaces, jhumkas, and heavily embellished bangles that enhanced the regal charm of the red sari. She paired the ensemble with an elaborate kundan choker layered with emerald detailing and delicate haathphools bringing classic Indian bridal elements into perfect harmony.
Her mehendi-adorned hands, adorned with exquisite rings and bracelets, added a personal, cultural touch that felt both intimate and celebratory. Her wedding looks beautifully highlight the delicate craftsmanship from the heavy gold work on the blouse to the intricate mirror details and pearl tassels.
One of the standout elements of the ensemble is its finely woven Banarasi drape, which lends the outfit a distinctly traditional character. The pairing of handcrafted Banarasi weaving with contemporary floral detailing beautifully captures the evolution of modern Indian bridal couture, where heritage techniques are reimagined for today’s bride.
