In an exclusive interview with Brides Today, Natasha Dalal revealed that she donned her own creation for her pheras with actor Varun Dhawan. "For the wedding ceremony and dinner, I designed a light gold tulle lehenga which was inspired by one of my favourite design styles of the 20s Art Deco. The design details featured geometric and abstract florals. It had two dupattas—one, floor-length head dupatta with delicate floral details, and another draped dupatta with geometric triangular motifs. My favourite aspect of the outfit was the back of the blouse, a cut-out back mimicking butterfly wings, a shape that was again a nod to the deco era. The wedding lehenga was prepared in layers of light gold tulle, with shades of gold and silver embroidery. It had alternate layers of floral and geometric embroidery in sequins, beads, and crystals to create a shimmery effect," she said.
