Istanbul is going to be 2019’s most sought after wedding destination thanks to fashionista and entrepreneur Pernia Qureshi’s wedding to Sahil Gilani that took place there over the past couple of days. Set against the backdrop of the Bosporus, the pheras and all the functions were a beautiful melding of style and tradition. Here, we’ve rounded up the pictures from the three-day extravaganza that best capture her stunning wedding.
Wearing Faraz Manan for her Sangeet, Pernia was every bit a minimalist princess.
Beautiful flushed cheeks, rose gold lids, and a pink lipstick alongside a strong highlighter – makeup artist Namrata Soni kept her look subtle and stunning.
A simple choker with a long diamond necklace is the trend du jour, and Pernia chose to adopt it.
The low-neck blouse whose embroidery or the cut weren’t loud at all.
Stylist and friend Tanya Ghavri attended the Sangeet in style. Seen here with Pernia’s Sangeet backdrop of pink roses.
The draping and the high-neck blouse are a new trend, and the veil is back once again (remember Priyanka Chopra?).
The silhouette by Elan Official is stunning and the muted metallics were all over Instagram.
The bridal entry with Norah Jones’s ‘Come away with me’ playing was a beautiful way to make an entrance.
