Intuitions are Important
While we do encourage you to keep an eye through the latest trends, we urge you to go by your intuitions. Your comfort is just as important. Keep yourself open to new ideas as you browse through the ocean of colours, textures and styles till you find the one that ticks all the three boxes of comfort, style and grace.
Have a rich clock by starting early
We recommend you start with your bridal shopping for at least 3 months in advance. A custom lehenga that meets your dream preferences will take time. The follow-up trials and fittings can go on longer still. To save yourself from all the stress, start early.
Season Out Rules Style
Take into account the location, climate and occasion before buying your wedding lehenga. You don’t want to find yourself getting fried in a heavy dress during summers or freezing in lighter clothing in winters.
For a summer wedding, opt for lightweight fabrics, brighter colours, and fewer embellishments. On the other hand, winter weddings call for thicker fabrics, heavier embellishments and full-sleeved lehengas to protect you.
Different Ceremonies Require Different Look
Wedding ceremonies are a time to look at your best version. So, go ahead, follow that trusty instinct of yours to experiment and have fun. Try for an Indo-western look for your Mehendi and sangeet – a fun cropped blouse and a light lehenga with pockets, something you can comfortably move and dance in.
Go classic on your wedding day with a lehenga you can see yourself wearing beyond the big day. You can go contemporary for your reception ceremony with a bright happy lehenga with a more western style blouse.
If, in case you have to stand for quite a few hours, make sure you pick a weightless lehenga just so that you remain comfortable throughout the event and enjoy your day to the fullest.
Colour Your Canvas
While you may be tempted to reach out for the traditional reds, there are many other hues to choose from. Colours such as soft pinks, baby blue, and emerald green are becoming increasingly popular. Pick one that flatters your skin tone.
Though you might have come in with a certain colour in mind, it’s always best to try on different shades of colours of pinks, reds, blues and so on and then make the final decision. Once you wear them and look at yourself in the trial room you will actually know what works best and what you want to get married in.
A wedding during day time calls for lighter colours. For a wedding in the evening, go for darker colours – ones that shine in artificial lighting.
