Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebration in Italy was a multi-day extravaganza that combined luxurious events with heartfelt tributes. The couple kicked off the festivities with a welcome lunch in Sicily, followed by a star-studded formal party featuring a surprise concert by the Backstreet Boys. A “throwback” toga party with a David Guetta DJ set paid homage to their college years, while a formal masquerade ball at a historic chateau saw them dressed in custom Versace and archival Yves Saint Laurent for Dior.
The celebrations culminated in a magical evening in Portofino, where guests enjoyed an open-air market and a performance by legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli. Throughout the festivities, Radhika’s outfit choices were a thoughtful blend of couture and custom creations, including a gown featuring a love letter from Anant and a unique “toga” designed by a fellow New York fashionista. Radhika Merchant’s wardrobe for the pre-wedding festivities in Italy was a mix of couture pieces and custom creations, showcasing her personal style and commemorating her relationship with Anant Ambani.
Throughout the cruise, Radhika accessorized her outfits with statement jewelry. For the masquerade ball, she wore a bridal fascinator as her mask and a blue opal necklace with diamonds (her birthstone and Anant’s, respectively)..
