As Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are all set to tie the knot on July 12, the celebrations have started in full swing. On Wednesday, the family organised a spectacular mausalu or mameru ceremony at Antilia in Mumbai. Radhika looked stunning as always in a beautifully embroidered lehenga. She accessorised her appearance with traditional jhumkas, maang-teeka, and choker necklace. Her hairpiece elevated the glamour up a notch.

Radhika was styled by Rhea Kapoor, who decoded her look on Instagram. The bride-to-be wore a Manish Malhotra ensemble and completed the look with her mother's jewellery.

The mameru or mausalu ceremony is a Gujarati wedding tradition where the maternal side of the bride visits her with sweets and gifts.
