Quite truly, the team bride and her brigade notched up the ante at the Mehendi ceremony last night. The big fat Indian wedding of Sonam Kapoor and businessman Anand Ahuja is touted to be a gala 3-day affair. The venue for the wedding is the plush Bandra bungalow that reportedly belongs to Sonam's aunt Kavita Singh.

A close-knit family affair, the wedding brigade included sister Rhea Kapoor, brother Harshvardhan Kapoor, cousins – Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor, Akshay Marwah and Mohit Marwah. Additionally, fashion designers Shehlaa Khan, Kunal Rawal, fashion stylist Tanya Ghavri made their fashionable presence felt.

The trending #SonamKiShaadi was captioned with a cute tagline, every day is phenomenal and we couldn’t agree more!

Shunning all that jazz and extravagance, the simple and elegant affair endeared us endlessly. Here is a closer look at the subtle style play that bride Sonam Kapoor, bridegroom Anand Ahuja and her feisty brigade.
