Radhika Merchant is set to be the bride of the year, donning a bespoke custom lehenga for the ‘mameru’ ceremony. She never fails to create a fashion moment, leaving us in awe once again! For this pre-wedding festivity, Radhika wore an elegant, custom-made bandhani lehenga by Manish Malhotra. This was not just any traditional piece—the intricate detailing from the borders to the jewellery was truly remarkable.
Decoding Radhika Merchant’s Pre-Wedding Lehenga
Radhika Merchant stunned in a rani pink Banarasi brocade lehenga. Her jewellery was equally impressive, featuring a beautifully woven ‘Durga Maa Shloka’ on the borders. The lehenga exuded elegance and grace with classic gold taar zardosi embroidery. According to designer Manish Malhotra, the lehenga is a masterpiece of “rai bandhej on a Banarasi brocade in rani pink, using 35 meters of bandhej to create the Ghagra.” The heavily embroidered blouse was inspired by vintage koti designs.
To complement the look, she draped a statement dupatta featuring a story that appeared to depict a ‘baraat entry.’

Radhika Merchant Wore Her Mother’s Jewellery
Every bride wants to make each look and ceremony of her big day special. What could be more heartfelt than incorporating her mother’s legacy? Radhika wore her mother’s bespoke jewellery from her ‘mausalu’ ceremony, enhancing her bridal couture.
We couldn’t take our eyes off her choti (hair) accessory, which was graceful and stunning. For makeup, Merchant looked mesmerizing with kohl-rimmed eyes and a small bindi.
