The Ambani weddings have set new benchmarks for opulence and grandeur. From Isha Ambani's fairytale celebrations to Anant Ambani's intimate ceremonies, every detail, including the attire, has been nothing short of spectacular.

While the Ambani couture choices might be worlds apart, the spirit of celebration is universal. You can, therefore, always create a fairytale wedding of your own on your big day.
