Latest Trends in Bridal Lehenga

Hey gorgeous lady, are those heavenly wedding bells ringing for you? Well then first of all big and hearty congratulations! Your D-day is approaching fast and may be raising your heartbeat with each passing day. It’s indeed a very important event of your life and you deserve to look the best! That calls for some serious research about what’s trending in bridal wear. But don’t worry you won’t have to spend hours in those over-crowded malls or keep switching over websites to know about the latest fashion in bridal lehengas; we have you sorted for that.

So for all the gorgeous brides-to-be, here’s what to look out for while deciding your up-to-date wedding attire:

Colours of the season

Red lehengas still remain a traditional favourite for Indian brides, however a lot of them these days prefer blush pink or golden as the ruling colour of their majestic wedding outfit. Some of the recent weddings in Bollywood witnessed brides walking the aisle in these trending colours. While Sonam Kapoor opted for a traditional red bridal lehenga, Anushka Sharma and Neha Dhupia chose pink lehengas for their D-day.

Ethnicity is the new trend

Ethnic glamour that has modesty at its core is the new trend followed by Indians worldwide. After a phase of overwhelming western influence, Indian brides these days prefer to be completely rooted to their culture for their wedding. Those westernized fish cut lehengas which were popular during half a decade ago, have given way to the orginal circular lehengas that have a wider flare. Brides prefer flowing fabrics like silk and georgette which allow them to twirl freely and get that picturesque flare captured as beautiful memories!

The traditional weave of Banarasi silk has been ruling the wardrobe of Indian brides and even their families. If you’re game for shimmers and ostentatious details, then you can choose a vibrant Banarasi silk lehenga choli for the wed-lock ceremony. For elegant resort weddings, a silver zari base will work better!

The ancient art of zardozi is now an important detail of bridal lehengas. No matter how much you prefer to be simple with your wardrobe, a little dazzle is always a good idea when it comes to styling your wedding look. If you’re still inclined towards minimalism, then choose a net lehenga choli that has moderate appliqués and a zardozi lace border.

The significance of designer dupattas

A dupatta is an essential component of a lehenga choli ensemble. However, a lot of fusion ensembles and indo-western lehengas comprise only of an ethnic skirt and blouse. But for your own wedding, as a cultural norm you’d be covering your head with a dupatta and that makes it a prominent part of your wardrobe. While buying your wedding lehenga, if the dupatta is relatively plain, then you must either edge it with a heavy lace or buy a separate designer dupatta in Banarasi silk or embellished net fabric.

So beauties, play your wardrobe game strong on your D-day to have your audience talking about it for months. Most importantly, choose a garment that enhances your beauty to its peak and fulfils your desire of being the most gorgeous bride ever!
