Keerthy Suresh Begins Her Happily Ever After On A Stylish Note

Keerthy Suresh had a dreamy wedding to marry Antony Thattil in Goa. The fans were given pictures of her traditional Hindu ceremony, not with one, but with two special saree looks. In case there wasn’t already much for her fans to be thrilled about, she recently shared pictures from the Christian ceremony where she looked just as gorgeous. Keerthy Suresh & Her Fairytale Wedding Gown It was the fairytale white wedding in a halter-neck gown that had lace applique work in it, a creation from Zuhair Murad. The beautiful delicate lace over the pure white flowing fabric created dimension for this enchanting wedding attire far beyond the ordinary as it has been. And this dress comes in an A-line silhouette, all of which matches with each of the elements around it. Jewellery And Makeup Her equally beautiful sheer white veil matched her dress with the same embroidery. For the jewelry, she chose emerald stud earrings. Her makeup was minimalist yet elegantly chic, complete with neutral tones and her hair was styled in a pulled-back half updo. The entire wedding look was brought together with an eye for detail, minimalistic style and lots of love. South Indian Bridal Ensemble The wedding festivities began with two Hindu ceremonies. For the first one, she wore a contrasting yellow and green Kanjeevaram saree designed by Anita Dongre. The wedding saree although extraordinary in style in terms of the conventional reds, also had a special significance. The bride added personal touches to it with a poem woven into it. The jewellery was quintessential to the South Indian bride complete with the layered necklaces and arm and hair jewellery.   The Beloved Red Saree  The Indian bride, however, cannot stay away from the bridal red for too long. Another special ode on her wedding day had to do with her deep red saree seen in the next leg of the festivities. The saree, worn with a matching blouse, belonged to her mother and was the bride’s way of honouring her mother’s love and life. She had teamed it up with a gorgeous ornate diamond and ruby jewellery set that complimented the reds of the saree look.
