Ira Trivedi and Madhu Mantena took time out from their ongoing mehendi ceremony at their Pali Hill residence, to come pose for the shutterbugs outside. Ira emerged looking pretty in pink with her hands painted in henna. The bride-to-be chose a subtle brocade lehenga set with a pleated skirt.

The soft floral prints on the nude pink number was complimented with pops of bright pink for the piping. The colour was mirrored in her dupatta, complete with sparse golden embroidery and statement tassels. Ira complimented the look with pulled back hair, an elaborate choker-styled neckpiece, and a short maangtikka.

Groom-to-be Madhu Mantena also stepped out to pose with his bride. Mantena kept it subtle in a cream-toned kurta pajama set. The linen set carried an asymmetrical hem which added edge to the otherwise simple and straightforward choice. He posed for the paparazzi with folded hands before heading back in.

The wedding, which will take place on June 11, will be followed by a lavish reception. Several famous names in the film industry, such as Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, will reportedly be in attendance. All wedding festivities will be held in Mumbai.
