first marriage

, she once surprised fans by revealing that she had auctioned her bridal outfit from that wedding.
Eco-Friendly Wedding with Vaibhav Rekhi
The actress has been a strong advocate for environmental causes, and her eco-friendly wedding to businessman Vaibhav Rekhi was a perfect example. The couple had a simple ceremony with a woman priest. What stood out was Dia’s choice to wear a red banarasi saree instead of a lehenga, which is common for Bollywood brides. She surprised fans further by revealing that she had auctioned her bridal outfit from her first wedding with Sahil Sangha.
Reason Behind the Eco-Friendly Approach

In an interview with Brut, Dia Mirza explained the simple reasoning behind her eco-friendly approach. She pointed out how bridal lehengas often go unused after weddings, and she didn’t want that for herself. So, she auctioned her wedding lehenga from her first wedding and opted for a simple saree for her second wedding, one that she could wear again. She also mentioned that her husband, Vaibhav Rekhi, chose an outfit that he could continue to wear throughout life, rather than having it sit unused in the cupboard.

She paired it with a matching green dupatta with a blue and gold border. For accessories, she wore layered emerald and gold necklaces, a statement maang tikka, and matching earrings, creating an elegant look. Staying true to her usual style, Dia kept her makeup minimal, with defined eyes, soft pink lips, and a dewy base, while her hair was styled in a sleek bun.

Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi's 2021 wedding was a perfect example of an eco-friendly celebration. The couple focused on sustainability, from their fashion choices to the overall event. In an interview with Brut, they shared that the wedding was held in their home garden, with handmade personalized gifts and local decor.
