Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani spent Rs 830 crore on daughter Isha Ambani’s wedding, was it more than Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding?

When it comes to Ambani weddings, the celebrations never truly end. Even after several months, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s grand affair remains the talk of the town — from Anant’s eye-catching diamond brooch to Radhika’s mesmerizing bridal appearances. But before this, it was Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal’s lavish wedding on December 12, 2018, that set the bar so high, it’s still unforgettable today.

Isha, daughter of business magnate Mukesh Ambani, exchanged vows with Anand Piramal, son of billionaire industrialist Ajay Piramal, who holds a significant presence in the pharmaceutical sector with an estimated net worth of USD 2.9 billion. According to reports, the lavish wedding—complete with luxurious invitations and celebrity performances—cost around Rs 830 crore. This extravagant celebration stands out as one of the most expensive weddings in Indian history.

While Radhika Merchant showcased a series of stunning looks at different wedding ceremonies, it was Isha Ambani’s timeless style that truly stole the show. Whether it was her bridal lehenga or her outfits for the haldi ceremony, every look proved that Isha’s fashion game remains unmatched — making it clear that Radhika couldn’t quite rival her in this department.

While Radhika Merchant dazzled in numerous designer outfits throughout her months-long pre-wedding celebrations, Isha Ambani stole the spotlight at her pre-wedding party with a single breathtaking look. She wore a shimmering silver evening gown by Maison Valentino, featuring an elegantly styled back, paired with exquisite diamond earrings and a matching necklace. Even after six years, Isha’s timeless style continues to leave a lasting impression.

Meanwhile, Radhika lit up her cruise pre-wedding events with multiple stunning ensembles. She wore a striking white gown by Lever Couture, designed with a 3D effect and a flowing fringed trail. Another memorable moment was her custom black-and-white “Love Letter” gown by Robert Wun, adorned with a printed love letter that Anant had written to her on her 22nd birthday.

Radhika Merchant’s haldi look had gone viral on social media. She looked gorgeous in a stunning floral-patterned outfit by Anamika Khanna, styled with a dupatta made from fresh mogra and marigold flowers. Her look was absolutely breathtaking, but Isha Ambani’s haldi appearance was on a different level altogether.

Isha wore a yellow Sabyasachi lehenga intricately embroidered with gold threadwork, paired with a matching organza dupatta draped like a shawl. Instead of opting for diamond or emerald jewelry, she accessorized with a garland and earrings made from fresh mogra flowers, along with floral bangles. It seemed like Isha was the one who first introduced the trend of real flower jewelry within the Ambani family.

As per estimates from LiveMint, The Economic Times, and Outlook Business, the total cost of Anant Ambani’s wedding festivities stands at approximately Rs 5,000 crore. This staggering amount surpasses even some of the world’s most iconic weddings — including that of Princess Diana and Prince Charles (Rs 1,361 crore) and Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum’s (Rs 1,144 crore) — placing it among the most expensive weddings in history.
