Like Deepika, Priyanka Chopra also had two different wedding ceremonies.
For her Indian wedding, she wore a custom designed Kanauj rose lehenga with heritage jewellery created by Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
'The colour red is probably the most evocative of North Indian wedding attire and is traditionally worked upon with gold or silver,' the designer wrote about his inspiration on Instagram.
Priyanka Chopra's neo-traditional bridal lehenga was the result of an active collaboration between the designer and the bride,' he added in the post.

'The baroque wedding lehenga in ivory silk is first hand dyed, then embellished with resham embodying colours of roses and layered with finest of zardosi, rose gold dyed crystals, nakshi, beads and sequins,' it posted on its website.
'From start to finish the entire ensemble took over 4000 hours to finish, giving it the old world charm with the right balance of contemporary,' Maple Leaves media wrote about the outfit.

Like Deepika and Priyanka, Isha Ambani had one of the most expensive and fairytale weddings this year.
