When Samantha Ruth Prabhu dropped her wedding photos with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, the internet paused for a moment. The couple looked radiant, but it was Samantha’s bridal look that instantly became a talking point. A deep red Banarasi saree. Classic South Indian jewellery. A soft, timeless beauty. It is the kind of bridal moment that feels rooted in tradition yet effortlessly modern.

And if you have been eyeing her look for your own wedding or the wedding season ahead, here is the good news. You can recreate a similar red Banarasi bridal look with WeaverStory, a pioneer in handcrafted Banarasi weaves and artisanal heirloom jewellery. Let us break down Samantha’s look and guide you on how to bring home the same magic.

The Saree That Started It All

Samantha chose a rich red pure silk Banarasi saree that instantly reflected South Indian bridal aesthetics. The colour carried depth. The zari had a quiet glow. The weave felt heritage-driven without overpowering her.

Her saree featured
• a wide gold border with floral patterns
• powder zari buttis scattered gracefully across the body
• a pallu woven with structured motifs
• light zardozi touches in beige gold with tiny mirrors and cut dana

The saree was handwoven in pure Katan satin silk by a master artisan. Every detail came together to create a look that was both opulent and balanced.

Create the look with WeaverStory

At WeaverStory, Banarasi is our heart. We specialise in pure Katan silks, artisanal zari techniques and legacy motifs. To recreate a Samantha-style bridal saree, explore:

• deep red Katan silk Banarasi sarees with wide antique gold borders
• floral or kadhwa buttis designed to add quiet richness
• heritage-inspired pallus that echo old Banaras charm
• light zardozi or mirror detailing for brides who prefer subtle glam

Each saree is handcrafted in small batches with real artistry. Brides who want a traditional yet graceful aesthetic can find stunning pieces that reflect the same warmth and grandeur as Samantha’s look.

The Blouse That Keeps It Classic

Samantha paired her saree with a matching silk blouse featuring gold embroidery, a modest neckline and elbow-length sleeves. The structured, traditional silhouette allowed the saree to shine.

WeaverStory Recommendation

Choose a blouse in matching red Katan silk with minimal zari on the sleeves. A high neck or round neck works beautifully for a classic bridal frame. The aim is quiet detailing that complements the saree’s weaving.

Jewellery That Brings Everything Together

Samantha went for pure South Indian bridal elegance.
A bold golden choker.
A layered longer necklace.
A hand full of textured gold bangles.
A standout cushion-cut diamond ring.
A simple bun adorned with fresh white flowers.

Nothing felt too much. Nothing felt too little. It was the perfect balance between tradition and contemporary polish.

For your final touch, a gajra bun keeps the look soft and divine.

Makeup and Styling That Feel Eternal

Samantha kept her makeup minimal. A hint of kohl. Soft nude lips. A natural glow. The focus stayed on the saree and the jewellery.

To recreate the same mood, choose muted makeup that enhances your features without overshadowing the bridal look. Banarasi silk already carries enough splendour. The key is balance.

Why Samantha’s Look Resonates With Modern Brides

The magic of her look lies in three things.

Timeless colour

Red is not a trend. It is a legacy shade for brides. It symbolises love, strength and auspicious beginnings.

Artisanal technique

Understated opulence

Samantha chose richness that feels intimate, not overwhelming. Modern brides love that balance.
