1.Here is a look of Arpita’s Mehndi Outfit-
Arpita Mehta wore a beautiful shade of pastel sage green and golden. She choose a very offbeat yet out of the box colour for her mehndi. The outfit is by the bride herself and she totally did justice to it. It seems like she knew clearly about what she wanted. Her lehenga had horizontal lines with detailing consisting of colours like pastel blue, silver and golden.
Her dupatta consisted of sea shells with mirrors which is a very unique idea.
