Young, independent, confident – an entrepreneur from New Delhi, India named Sanjana Rishi recently surprised her followers on Instagram when she posted her wedding day pictures wearing a powerful light-colored pant suit instead of a heavily embellished ‘lehenga choli’.
Sanjana made quite a statement wearing a net dupatta over her smartly stitched and comfortably loose-fit modern outfit and looked awe-inspiring in elegant makeup, amritsari mangtikka and statement jewelry.
On Instagram, the Punjabi beauty captioned her images as:
Unprecedented vibes

Who says bridal looks have to fit a mould, cultural or otherwise? The only thing a look must fit (other than your body) is your personality! I wanted to choose a wedding outfit that encapsulated my style but also stayed true to my commitment to supporting sustainability, local artisans and ethical shopping. I think I did great! Something old: These earrings I stole from @salonikotwal & @_rangana
Something new: My stunning jewelry, put together by @anumerton and talented artisans in basically 4 days & this custom made-to-order #veilpatta by @toraniofficial Something borrowed: My bustier, which belonged to my best friends’ (@instagirma + @stop_youplay2much) mom, hand dyed by a frantic me the night before the wedding using old coffee. Something blue: The beyond gorgeous Pre-owned #GianfrancoFerre powder blue pantsuit of my dreams. I’m never going to get over how I look and feel in this outfit!
She further shared the details of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue : Sanjana gave credits to everyone who contributing in achieving her D-Day look!
From a white bustier borrowed from a friend to a gorgeous ‘pre-owned Gianfranco Ferre powder blue pantsuit of her dreams’, while finishing the look with a pair of designer juttis.

She’s certainly going to be remembered in the history for being the bride in a pant suit. Standing out and creating a bold statement, Sanjana didn’t just turn heads on her wedding but also plundered loads of praises from her friends, followers and even, celebrity designers.
While Instagram followers flooded the comments section with praises, celebrity designer Masaba Gupta and Bollywood producer Rhea Kapoor too could not hold back their words of appreciation. “Omg how Great do you look!! (sic)” Masaba gushed while Rhea commented, “Hi I love your outfit (sic).”
Sanjana’s outfit was surely eye-grabbing but also represented her personality fully : a stunning combination of contemporary and traditional, and a powerful, independent woman who has the guts to just be herself!
We wish Sanjana and her beau a very happy married life ahead. The duo has certainly broken traditional wedding stereotypes!
