The Most Spectacular Weddings 2011

Three weddings which India’s rich and famous refer to as the decade’s most spectacular weddings– Steel Baron Laxmi Mittal’s daughter’s wedding in Paris, the twin celebrations Diamond magnate Vijay Shah hosted for his son and daughter’s wedding in Antwerp. And the most glamorous wedding Rashmi Mehta organised for his daughter Grishma in Mumbai. If the three weddings set the benchmark, every year more weddings make big news and set a new standard for opulence and innovation. WeddingSutra presents the most spectacular Weddings 2011.

Destination Hyderabad
Mallika Reddy & Sidharth Indukari@ GMR Arena, Hyderabad

Amitabh Bachchan was the star guest and the glitterati tweeted that it was the best-organised private extravaganza. Fashionistas commented that they had never seen so many people in the most exquisite designer wear under one roof. Pinky and Sanjay Reddy of GVK Industries organised a dream wedding for their daughter, and there was so much buzz about the wedding not just in Hyderabad, but all over India.

While the Sindhi community around the world exchanged notes on the dream wedding which Billionaires Kamal Fabiani and Madan Assomull organised for their daughter and son, the wedding managers Monte Carlo Weddings and Percept were besieged with requests from the media for pictures and more information on the hottest destination wedding, the highlight of which was a performance by Akon.
