Beautiful Manish Malhotra Brides

What are the best shaadis remembered for?

The venue. The khaana.

Most of all the bridal costume and that's why every starry-eyed young woman, on the cusp of matrimony, wants an unforgettable outfit for the most splendid day of her life.

And when you hail from Bollywood, the pressure to look memorable on is quite, quite a bit more.

Choosing the designer is key.

Sabyasachi Mukherjee is the first choice for many.

Ankita Lokhande Jain, Urmila Matondkar and Kanika Kapoor worked with celebrity bridal fave Manish Malhotra while whipping up their dreamiest ensembles.

Well, because when the talented designer is your bestie too, he will guarantee that you illuminate the evening and you can hope for romantic frilled hemlines, flowery silhouettes in the finest zari or floor-sweeping lehengas drenched in sequins that will make for a dramatic reveal.

B-Town's A-list can always count on Malhotra to make them feel like royalty when they tie the knot and create a look that will supersede all expectations.

At Kiara and Sidharth's wedding, the designer will not only outfit the bride and groom, but also the Advani and Malhotra khandaan.

But K & S needn't worry. Malhotra always delivers.

A peek at the most iconic Manish Malhotra brides.
