At the vibrant Haldi ceremony of Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben, which kicked off their dreamy destination wedding celebrations in Udaipur earlier this January, the bride turned heads not just with her joy
but with her impeccable fashion sense. The celebrations, which preceded the couple’s Christian and Hindu wedding ceremonies in the regal city of lakes, combined tradition, texture, and modern panache.
For one of the most colourful pre-wedding rituals, Nupur chose a bespoke custom Gota lehenga by Sukritiandaakritiofficial that perfectly encapsulated the effervescent spirit of Haldi functions. The ensemble embraced a palette of bright yellow and cream, evoking the joyful auspices of turmeric traditions while staying deeply rooted in contemporary bridal fashion. The intricate Gota work, a hallmark of artisanal Indian craftsmanship was complemented by delicate embroidery and subtle shimmer, making the outfit both festive and elegant.

Accessories played an equally important role in elevating the look. Nupur paired her lehenga with meticulously selected pieces from Tangerine biojewelry, Binnis wardrobe, Raabta by rahul, and Preeti Mohan official, layering delicate chains, jhumkas, and mehndi-safe hand adornments that danced with every gesture. These jewelry accents added a textured richness to the sultry yet soft outfit, keeping the focus on both tradition and personal style.
Her hair was styled in loose, flowing waves, a perfect balance between relaxed celebration vibes and bridal glam. The understated, effortless hairstyle allowed her jewellery and outfit embroidery to take centre stage, framing her face with softness.
Makeup for the event embraced a fresh and natural palette, sun-kissed cheeks, warm golden eyeshadow, and a dewy finish that celebrated her natural radiance. Coupled with a soft, neutral lip, the overall look felt like a modern reinterpretation of timeless bridal beauty, luminous without being overly done.
Throughout the celebrations, Nupur’s Haldi look stood out as a testament to how traditional silhouettes can seamlessly blend with contemporary aesthetics. It was a sartorial moment that reflected her personality: joyful, bold, rooted in culture, and effortlessly stylish, a perfect prelude to her big day.
