In March, three days of pre-wedding festivities in the western Indian town of Jamnagar saw Rihanna perform for guests. She was paid £5 million for a 90-minute appearance.
And in preparation for this week’s celebrations Mr Ambani hired a luxury cruise liner called Celebrity Ascent for 800 guests who embarked on a four-day Mediterranean cruise and enjoyed private performances from stars like Katie Perry, Pitbull, and the Backstreet Boys.
All the stunning costumes for the bride and members of both families have been designed by Manish Malhotra, India’s leading designer who is also the wedding’s creative director.
He has been working closely with Mrs Ambani who is one of the country’s leading philanthropists and has been the driving force behind the look and feel of the occasion.
The traditional marriage ceremony gets underway at 3pm India time with a ‘baraat’ which is a procession made up of the groom and his friends and family who will be dancing while accompanied by live musicians.

Invitations were sent out last month in an ornate red box containing a model silver temple, gifts and a handcrafted pashmina shawl. Each invitation is estimated to have cost around £7,000.

During the pre-wedding celebrations in March, guests received Louis Vuitton bags, specially designed duffle bags, gold necklaces, high-end footwear, luxurious nightwear, and handcrafted scented candles.
In the days leading up to the wedding, a number of other events have been held at Antilla, the Ambani’s 27 storey family home in Mumbai which cost £800 million to build.
The luxurious property features a health club with a gym and dance studio, a ballroom, at least one swimming pool and a 50-seater cinema plus three helipads and parking for 168 cars.
