Actress Priyanka Chopra tied the knot with American singer Nick Jonas in a grand wedding ceremony in Jodhpur's Umaid Bhawan Palace, and it has been the talk of the town ever since. A month later, Ralph Lauren has shared unseen pictures of Priyanka and Nick’s wedding and has also spoken about the process of making exquisite clothes for the celebrity couple.
In the video shared by the designer, you can see many phrases that have been embroidered on Priyanka’s dress for the Christian wedding, which had a 75-feet long veil. Words like compassion, Om Namaha Shivay and 1st December were hand-embroidered on the gown by 15 artisans in Mumbai.
He said, “This isn’t about a dress. It’s about a woman and a moment. Priyanka knows exactly who she is, and so I wanted the dress to reflect, not only her love story and the romance of India, but also her unique sensibility: strong, smart, and beautiful.”
On his social media account, he revealed that one of the fittings for Priyanka's wedding dress was held in Paris, where she saw the full look come together for the first time, complete with a veil. He said, "135 satin-covered buttons, 700 spools of ivory thread, 5,600 pearlized seed beads, 11,632 Swarovski crystals, 2,412,000 high-luster sequins, Totaling 1,826 hours of handwork by 15 skilled artisans. All with the impeccable attention to detail and authenticity that have defined five decades of Ralph Lauren design."
