PIX: Bridal couple Riteish-Genelia arrives

Bridegroom Riteish Deshmukh made a grand entry at the venue along with the wedding party.

The actor looked dapper in a bandhgala sherwani as he was led to the Grand Hyatt hotel in Santacruz, western Mumbai suburb, where he'll shortly exchange vows with longtime lady love Genelia D'Souza.

Meanwhile, fashion designer Nishka Lulla, who designed some of the outfits for the bride, posted a picture of herself with a glowing Genelia D'Souza dressed in all her bridal finery.

The young designer has styled the actress's look. Genelia is wearing a sari designed by Neeta Lulla.

She tweeted, "My sweetest @geneliad makes a gorgeous bride in @neeta_lulla wedding saree and styled by me :)

Riteish's father -- former Maharashtra chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh -- was a part of the baraat as he arrived with the guests at the venue.

The wedding party comprised of friends, family, relatives and a wedding band dressed in vibrant colours.

The wedding party also consisted of folk dancers who performed on Marathi songs, dressed in the regional outfit and playing the lezim.

The wedding procession was surrounded by shutterbugs and cheering fans as the actor proceeded to the venue.
