After being together for 6 years, when they finally decided to become the man and wife, it was like witnessing a dream come true! Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are all about love whenever they are seen together. And when their much-awaited wedding news was made official, literally everyone was blown out and just can’t wait for their big day. Here we bring you the complete story of the dream wedding; all the way from the land of dreams itself- Italy!
The Wedding Venue
Ranveer and Deepika announced their wedding details a month ago on their Instagram handles and chose to wed in Italy. When asked the reason behind it, Deepika answered that privacy was their main priority and when they went around, the place felt correct for them. They got married at Villa Del Balbianello at Lake Como in Italy.
Mehendi Ceremony
DeepVeer’s mehendi ceremony looked like an absolute reverie. They both were seen twinning in pink and red outfits from the house of Sabyasachi. While Deepika looked no less than a princess in a thread work bandh gala kurta, Ranveer looked the quirky groom in a cotton angrakha and an embroidered silk Bundi. Interestingly enough, Ranveer’s mehendi had the design of the diya, along with Deepika’s name! All the hearts for Ranveer!
*The power couple tied the knot twice; once in the accordance with the Konkani traditions and other as per the Sindhi rituals. *

For the first reception, Deepika donned an ivory and gold chikankari ensemble by the designer-duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla and accessorised her look with fine pearl and kundan necklace. Ranveer was dressed in a Rohit Bal couture creation of the same colour. He wore an intricately embroidered sherwani with an angrakha and draped it with heavily embroidered dupatta.
For the last and final reception, the couple ditched the traditional wear and switched on to western attires. While Ranveer opted for a black suit, Deepika went for a long thigh-high slit red gown. Their dressing gave a hint towards a theme-based party.
This couple is the epitome of love, loyalty, trust and companionship! All we can say is that, there is an extra-ordinary love in every extra-ordinary jodi! *All the hearts for them* <3
