On the 3rd of March, 2021, Jaipur played host to the wedding of fashion and luxury blogger Hanna S Khan to her longtime boyfriend Shahrukh Merchant. The two-day event took place at the historic Jai Mahal and Rambagh Palaces.
The bride’s reception gown – a one of a kind Elie Saab was curated specially for Hanna with love and devotion by Mr Elie Saab.The process was extremely personalized and took thousands of hours of embroidery work which led to a stunning outfit weighing approximately 30kgs making Hanna the first Indian bride outfitted by the famed designer.
The Haldi, Mehndi and Nikaah outfits were designed by renowned designer and sister of the bride, Ohaila Khan who has looked after Hanna as a muse to the brand. Hanna stuck to traditional theme of wearing yellow for her Haldi and a red outfit for the mehndi that usually is considered as an offbeat colour for the mehndi. Ohaila designed the outfits carefully keeping in mind Hanna’s preferences and taste ditching the similar looks and going for a unconventional bridal look that is closer to Hanna’s liking.
The nikaah was a pastel themed event that had Hanna adorn an ivory ensemble that was heavily embroidered with a veil to follow a traditional essence.
The guest list included friends and family of the Khan family.
