Geeta Basra's Lehanga for the Mehendi
"Geeta wanted an extremely traditional look for all the important occasions, so we decided to go with lehengas, attached dupatta and a crop-top blouse with an Indian work on it" reveals Archana Kochhar, in charge of creating the wedding outfits for both the bride and the groom.
She further ads that Geeta and Harbhajan knew exactly what look they wanted for the wedding. While Geeta was specific about her colours, Harbhajan's brief was classic and simple.
