Yuvraj and Hazel's star-studded mehendi and sangeet celebrations

Congratulations are in order! Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is finally tying the knot with fiance and model-turned-actor Hazel Keech, 29, tonight (November 30), and started the 'Yuvraj Hazel Premiere League' celebrations with a bang in Chandigarh.

The couple has invited the who's who from the cricket, Bollywood and political circuits so not surprisingly, their first two celebrations had many famous faces.

The couple held a private haldi ceremony at their home in Chandigarh, followed by a gorgeous yellow-themed mehendi ceremony and an elegant traditional sangeet ceremony later in the night.

While it was earlier speculated that the bride-to-be and British-Mauritian actor Hazel would opt for heavy flower jewellery for her mehendi, she stunned everybody with her simplicity.

The gorgeous bride-to-be was dressed in a simple yellow anarkali with contrasting lehenga skirt and her signature long curls. She accessorised her look with a gold and pearl kundan maatha patti from Astha Jagwani Jewellery.

Her simple makeup and mehendi kept the focus on her glowing face and that gorgeous smile! The groom-to-be on the other hand looked suave and was dressed in a white kurta-pajama with a black jumper!

They posed for some beautiful candid shots and Yuvraj even shared a picture of himself kissing Hazel's forehead and wrote: "Here's to the new innings of my life! Hazel Keech, couldn't have found a better partner at the other end!"

The mehendi ceremony is the beginning of the 10-day celebrations that await the new couple. As is tradition, the 34-year-old cricketer also applied a little henna on his hands before the couple set some time aside for a candid photoshoot.

While Hazel was seen twirling in her resplendent yellow ensemble, Yuvraj is seen gazing at her lovingly. The bride also posed with the wedding organisers, who gave a sneak peek into the celebratory decorations. These included yellow and orange theme, similar to what the bride wore.

Yuvi's close friends and actor Angad Bedi was also present at all the ceremonies, as were Hazel's close friends and family members including sister Tina Keech.

The mehendi ceremony was followed by the sangeet ceremony, for which the couple came out to greet the paparazzi and their fans.

While the groom-to-be was dressed in a black velvet bandhgala, the bride-to-be looked regal in her black and white ensemble. She was also sporting a raanihaar, which has reportedly been gifted to her by her mum-in-law Shabnam Singh.

Their sangeet ceremony also saw many known faces, including Yuvraj's close buddy and family friend Angad Bedi, former cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi's son.

Hazel also accessorised her look with another maatha patti and needless to say, looked lovely. The couple had clearly decided to coordinate the colour of their ensembles but chose an unconventional black and white combination.

Interestingly, Yuvraj's father Yograj Singh and brother Zorawar were also present at the sangeet ceremony and posed hapily with the groom.

The star-studded sangeet ceremony saw the likes of cricketers Mohammad Kaif and Anil Kumble, who posed for a selfie together.

The ceremony also saw reining star Virat Kohli, who was sans girlfriend Anushka Sharma. But it was reported that she already visited the family a day before the celebrations began and could not attend them because of her impending shoots outside Chandigarh.

Virat was also spotted enjoying some Punjabi music with singer Ranjit Bawa, who set the stage for the late night celebrations.

The starry night also saw the likes of actor and fellow Chandigarh resident Ayushmann Khurrana, who is said to be close to the cricketer.

During the ceremony, Bawa also invited the couple to come on-stage and Yuvraj happily obliged. Bawa is seen posing here with Kohli.
