The morning wedding was conducted in the South Indian style. There will also reportedly be a Punjabi style wedding, in keeping with both the bride and groom's cultural traditions. Vidya is Tamilian and Siddharth is Punjabi.

We haven't been able to get a good look at the bride's outfit but it seems to be traditional mustard yellow
sari, probably gifted by her mother-in-law and possibly handpicked by the actress' favourite designer, Sabyasachi. She had flowers in her hair, and reportedly wore some of her mother's jewellery.
According to sources, Vidya is said to be excited about wearing toe rings on both her feet after the actual ceremony, like newly-wed Tamil brides. She will also sport the
thaali, a woven yellow thread with small photographs of Lord Balaji and his consort Ambana. Vidya and Siddharth will likely play a traditional wedding 'game' that involves searching for a ring in a bucket of milk and water.
After their quiet wedding, the couple intends to send sweets to people from the industry.
The couple's wedding celebrations kicked off on December 11 with a private
sangeet that was attended by close family members of the bride and the groom. Vidya wore a kanjeevaram sari and heavy gold jewellery.
Vidya's
mehendi, held at her Khar residence in Mumbai on Dec 12, was also a private affair like her
sangeet. Again, only close family and friends were invited for the ceremony.
The only celebrity to be invited was veteran actress Rekha, a close friend of the much-younger Vidya.
