In January 2023, Japinder Kaur and Harpreet Singh Chadha celebrated their engagement with a stunning ceremony at Burj Khalifa. Japinder captivated the audience in a fairytale princess gown with intricate lace and a 5-metre-long trail, embodying royalty. The engagement rings were equally spectacular: Japinder’s 12-carat diamond ring with a golden band, and Harpreet’s 6-carat diamond ring on a platinum band.
The Glamorous Roka Ceremony
The roka ceremony took place at the luxurious Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, themed in white, gold, and pastels. Japinder dazzled in a pastel pink Swarovski gown, complemented by a diamond tiara and matching jewellery, including a delicate necklace, solitaire sets, and bangles encrusted with diamonds. Harpreet, in a velvet dark-wine suit, added to the glamour of the event.
The Stunning Mehendi Celebration
Japinder and Harpreet’s mehendi ceremony set new standards for luxury, hosted on a private yacht in Dubai. A helicopter showered 350 kilograms of rose petals on the yacht, adding to the extravagance. The event highlighted their commitment to opulence and grand celebrations.
A Grand Finale: The Wedding and Reception
The wedding concluded with a grand ceremony at three prestigious Dubai venues: Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, and Palazzo Versace Dubai. Japinder wore a pastel pink high-fashion gown from Dar Sara, embellished with multiple gemstones, and a 120-carat polki necklace featuring Burmese rubies and emeralds. For the reception, she chose a Manish Malhotra gown, adorned with an actual gold crown set with rubies, diamonds, and amethysts. Harpreet looked regal in a royal blue sherwani and a golden sword with ruby and emerald detailing.
A Record-Breaking Celebration
Japinder and Harpreet’s five-day wedding, estimated at around ₹600 crore, surpassed even the grandeur of high-profile weddings like those of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal. From the choice of venues to their elaborate outfits and extravagant celebrations, their wedding epitomised opulence, setting a new benchmark in the world of lavish Indian weddings.
