Dressing up for D-day

This is one wedding that is going to be celebrated in every drawing room. After months of dilly-dally, Jassi is finally ready to exchange vows with the man of her dreams, Armaan Suri. No wonder Sony Entertainment Television has already roped in some of the biggest names in the industry for this grandiose event.

Ace fashion designer Neeta Lulla, known for draping Aishwarya Rai, will be designing the bridal outfit for Jassi. Lulla has rustled up five exclusive wedding outfits for Jassi to choose from. And the lucky one is a pink lehenga-choli with an aquamarine and orange dupatta. It weighs five kg with exquisite work including zardosi, crystals and semi-precious stones.

"I have worked very closely with the Bollywood fraternity and dressed up many actors for the big screen," said Lulla. "This is the first time a leading character on television will be wearing my creations. This is going to be a special day in Jassi's life and we are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that she looks stunning."

Jassi's bridal jewellery — necklace and earrings made in white gold set with emeralds — is being provided by Neelam Jewels, owned by actress Neelam Kothari. The cost of the jewellery is around Rs 10-15 lakh. Be part of Jassi's wedding celebrations, starting Monday, 9.30 pm.
