See all of the nuptial details concerning the biggest Indian wedding of the year.

Following the fabulous pre-wedding party featuring a special performance by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/yellow-lens-sunglasses-shopping-rihanna-tinted-sunnies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> in March 2024, another wedding celebration prior to the biggest Indian wedding of the era&mdash;f&ecirc;ting groom and bride Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant&mdash;is in the works for the coming weeks.
The son of Mukesh Ambani&mdash;one of the most high-profile business tycoons in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/shwetambari-mody-indian-savoir-faire-artisanal-collaboration-interview-designer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a>&mdash;and Merchant celebrated their engagement in early 2023, and kicked off 2024 with a lavish pre-wedding weekend celebration in March. The event was the first of many pre-wedding parties and was attended by many of India's most renowned celebrities, who mingled with famous figures like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/karlie-kloss-styling-tricks-fashion-age-instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karlie Kloss</a>, among others.&nbsp;
For the next stage of the pre-wedding celebration, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/boho-wedding-dresses-are-a-brides-dream" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bride</a> and groom will set sail on a cruise around Europe's picturesque coastline accompanied by friends, family, and a guest list with over 800 distinguished names. The cruise, which has touched down in Genoa and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/louis-vuitton-cruise-2025-collection-runway-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> so far, is set to make a stop at Cannes on May 31, where guests will disembark for a short period to attend an extravagant masquerade ball at a &pound;40 million seaside estate. 
Although this event celebrating the Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani wedding clocks in at only five hours, attendees will enjoy a special performance from beloved American singer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/katy-perry-reveals-reason-she-hasnt-married-orlando-bloom-yet-wedding-plans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katy Perry</a>, who is reportedly walking away from the set with $6 million in compensation. A source close to the couple shared further plans for the evening with <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/28197407/katy-perry-sing-billionaire-wedding/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sun,</a> and said that "Afterwards, guests will watch a huge fireworks display from a small armada of ships waiting in the Bay of Cannes. When they say there&rsquo;s been no expense spared, they really mean it."
Perry comes in as the latest in a long line of iconic performers who have headlined an Ambani event, with Rihanna and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/blue-ivy-mufasa-the-lion-king" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyonc&eacute;</a>, who sang at Isha Ambani's 2018 wedding.&nbsp;

Although the Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani wedding is still several months out, recipients of the happy couple's wedding invitation have shared details on the itinerary for the July 2024 Indian wedding. The series of marital celebrities is set to begin in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/liza-koshy-dior-pre-fall-2023-show-mumbai-india" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mumbai</a> on July 12 with the Shubh Vivaah, the traditional auspicious wedding ceremony, and will continue into July 13 for the Shubh Aashirwad, divine blessing service, and will conclude on July 14 with the Mangal Utsav, or the wedding reception. All three events politely request that guests arrive in formal Indian wedding attire, so keep your eyes out for plenty of vibrant colors, finely crafted <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cartier-nature-sauvage-high-jewelry-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jewelry</a>, and intricate embroidery on guests at the ceremony.&nbsp;
Bride Radhika Merchant is expected to don a bespoke designer look in line with traditional Indian wedding styles of fashion, given her custom <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/versace-fall-winter-2024-mfw-show-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Versace</a> and Dolce &amp; Gabanna looks seen during the March pre-wedding affair. During a formal ceremony at the buzzy celebration earlier this year, Merchant wore a custom sari by Tarun Tahiliani, and explained her design vision further when she told <a href="https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/anant-ambani-and-radhika-merchant-wedding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a>: &ldquo;I wanted to represent a traditional Indian bride but infuse the look with a fresh and contemporary reinterpretation." Given her deep appreciation for fashion trends and traditional styles around the globe, style aficionados expect that Merchant's Indian <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/umar-kamani-wedding-naomi-campbell-custom-dior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wedding</a> attire will be even more extravagant.&nbsp;
