The interesting story as to why the actor wanted to get married was interesting. She revealed that she never wanted to get married initially but when she saw the wedding album of her uncle and aunt, the idea stuck to her. She thought that if one day she had kids of her own, how would she show them what her wedding looked like? So that became the inspiration behind her wedding.
While showing her mesmerising collection of gowns, Shama Sikander was asked to show her famous wedding gown which she was very excited to show! Talking about her wedding she said, “I always wanted to do a white wedding. Even when I didn’t know what weddings were, I used to say casually that yes I want this because it looks so dreamy. And I then ended up marrying an American so it was good.”
Explaining the story behind her wedding outfit she said, “Not many people make these kinds of gowns in India, so I was very confused. And this was around Covid time when the world wasn’t open to you. So I went to special designers who were famous for making white gowns. I got in touch with two Israeli designers and I even went to Millanova.” She further said, “I didn’t like the first collection they showed me, I saw a lot of other designers but nobody had a collection that I liked and nothing was quickly available because I decided to get married in one month.”
Getting further into the detailing of the dress she said, “The dress has a slit and it is all chantilly lace and there’s a lot of pearl and Swarovski work done on it. There’s a bodysuit on top of it which goes inside and then it turns into a full peace. This is one of my wedding dresses, and there’s another one which I wore for my reception which I love which is from my dear friend Nivedita. She designed James’ wardrobe and my reception as well as Sangeet’s outfit. But I love this reception dress because it’s so me.” She further showed her beautiful pink and golden reception dress made of Swarovski stones which we loved!
When asked about what the inspiration was behind such a modern yet traditional piece, she said, “I wanted a very our wedding to have a mixed vibe. So our Sangeet outfit had a Jungle vibe. It had feathers, gold, everything. And I ran to my friend because I didn’t want to have a wedding without clothes so I went just two weeks before.”
