For her wedding, Grover chose a gorgeous green Sabyasachi lehenga with floral embroidery. “I am a sucker for rustic floral aesthetics and knew that I wanted minimal foliage garden décor at the wedding. Both Arjun and I coordinated our Sabyasachi outfits in green to complement the décor,” explains Grover.

For her mehendi, she picked a more fun theme, and wore an aubergine outfit from her own label, and got her bride squad to wear stunning Sukriti & Aakriti outfits.

At the sangeet, Grover wore a white lehenga she designed herself, because she likes how “elegant and serene” it looks.

“I am a beach bum so it had to be a beach-front destination,” smiled Grover, talking about their wedding. “We wanted it to be an intimate affair, so we knew we wanted it to be a destination wedding. Antalya has lots of elements of nature, such as splendid Mediterranean beaches, hypnotising sunsets, sparkly blue skies and green forests spread over great properties; plus a high-quality wedding service,” she said.
