The bride-to-be specifically requested subtle colours for her trousseau. No loud or contrasting colours as she has worn plenty of bright ensembles in her films. In keeping with the pale, subtle look, her trousseau will be dominated by whites.
* Karisma, sister Kareena and mother Babita will wear saris for the party in the evening of Saturday, September 27, that will be hosted by the groom.
