‘Mr. & Mrs. Dhawan’: The official announcement
The 40-year-old ex-opener shared the news on Instagram, posting beautiful snapshots from their special day along with the caption, “Mr. & Mrs. Dhawan”. The images showed the couple celebrating joyfully, sharing tender moments, and engaging in traditional wedding customs, including a significant moment where Dhawan placed sindoor on Sophie’s forehead.
Both looked stunning in outfits designed by Manish Malhotra. Dhawan wore an elegant white-on-white sherwani with intricate tonal embroidery and accessorized it with a layered emerald necklace, which stood out against the ivory fabric. A classic white turban with a jeweled kalgi completed his royal look.
On the other hand, Sophie chose to wear an ivory lehenga instead of the traditional red, highlighting the growing trend of pastel bridal wear in contemporary Indian weddings. Her outfit featured delicate floral patterns in soft coral, peach, and sage green on an ivory silk base, giving a beautiful garden-like effect. The high-neck blouse adorned with cascading pearl strands offered a unique twist, as it served as a piece of jewelry, reflecting the current couture trend of intricate garment designs.
