Sonakshi Sinha celebrated her marriage with Zaheer Iqbal in a quintessential vintage saree and jewellery from her mother, Poonam Sinha’s wardrobe. The ivory embroidered saree exuded minimalism and enhanced Sonakshi’s bridal glow.

Borrowing your mom’s favourite saree or jewellery is not a new tradition, however, incorporating it on your wedding day is an emotional and precious moment. In Bollywood, Sonakshi is not the only one who has borrowed something beautiful from their mom’s wardrobe, celebrities such as Yami Gautam too draped her mom’s saree on her wedding day.

Similarly, Parineeti Chopra repurposed her nani’s challa and included it in her bridal look. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja styled her bridal red lehenga with her mom, Sunita Kapoor’s traditional jewellery.

Kareena Kapoor Khan who got married to Saif Ali Khan, restored her mother-in-law, Sharmila Tagore, bridal sharara ensemble and wore it for her wedding. Similarly, as per reports Priyanka Chopra included a piece of Nick Jonas’ mother’s wedding gown sewn into her own Ralph Lauren wedding gown.

Here’s looking at celebrity brides who borrowed from their family heirlooms on their wedding day.

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

Style icon and actor Sonam Kapoor got married to Anand Ahuja in 2018. For the Anand Karaj ceremony, Sonam enhanced her Anuradha Vakil red ensemble with timeless jewellery from her mom, Sunita Kapoor’s collection. The vintage statement jewellery pieces adorned by Sonam exuded royalty, making her one of the most beautiful Indian brides.

Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra wanted to pay a heartfelt tribute to her nani, who used to wear a challa in her saree with the keys, a symbol of being the lady of the house. For Parineeti, the sound of the challa when her nani walked around the house, was a melody of strength and grace. And that’s when Manish Malhotra who designed the statement piece knew he had to add that piece of legacy to her lehenga.

Yami Gautam

Yami Gautam married filmmaker Aditya Dhar in an intimate wedding ceremony in Himachal Pradesh. Yami looked radiant in a deep red silk saree with intricate threadwork. Interestingly, the saree Yami draped on her special day belonged to her mother. Keeping it simple and timeless, Yami looked ethereal as a bride. Handcrafted with love, the sari featured an array of motifs and was paired with an embellished red veil which added sparkle to her overall look
