Indian weddings are the epitome of an extravaganza. The perfect blend of fun, tradition and vibrant colours, the Indian weddings are what dreams made of. Consisting of band, baaja, baarat and shopping… an Indian shaadi is the sneak peek into the extraordinary style of the quintessential Indian woman of today.
A combination of traditional and contemporary, an Indian bride is individualistic, bold and is very Indian but with global aspirations. She confidently brings the duality of traditional and contemporary and adapts it into her personal style. While she borrows the handloom sarees online or jewellery from her mother or grandmother, she lets her individual style shine through. For Indian brides, who define elegance and style and not just follow the crowd, here we bring you Instagram-worthy saree looks for the wedding, courtesy Bollywood!
Cocktail Party:
Nobody rocks a cocktail saree better than Deepika and Priyanka. The original desi girl’s sensual curves showed us the way to drape the hourglass saree and own it in like you mean it. After all, wouldn’t you like to flaunt the sexy silhouette after months of senseless dieting and aerobic session before the wedding?
Engagement:
Your blouse doesn’t have to match the saree. Yes, it doesn’t matter. Ditch all-things embellished and put this beautiful saree flaunting the right amount of bling and bright on your roster. It is time to make a ‘less is more’ statement and stand out because this day belongs to only you and the limelight should be on you.
Mehndi:
Stand out in this elegant and celebratory statement saree that is feminine and sexy. This saree is the right consideration for the mehndi ceremony and can redefine your fashion moment for you. Give up the done and dusted gold jewellery and make way for natural and refreshing floral jewellery.
Wedding Reception:
Make a style statement in a pastel saree with floral prints. Indian weddings usually happen in the colder months of November and December but you can’t let the nip in the air stop you from having all eyes on you! The best way to stand out and flaunt your style is to pair it up with white cashmere shawl just like Rani Mukherjee. Keep the makeup minimal and let the glow of newfound happiness do the talking for you. Move over the heavyweights such as zari embroidery and silk to make way for simplicity and elegance.
Weddings:
The time to rock the reds and pinks. However, green, lilac ivory and yelloware ruling this wedding season – bringing a tinge of contemporary to the whole lot of traditional. Though this doesn’t mean you can’t flaunt and own the red. A red in Banarasi is forever. If you have decided to colour the town red with your love and happiness, keep makeup and jewellery to a minimal. Make the bling easy on the eyes so that all eyes can be on you!
The Indian women know that she doesn’t have to look away from traditions to flaunt her outlook. Why should weddings be any different? Don’t let the transformation take over your personal style! Take the cue from these Bollywood beauties and amp up the style quotient on your big day!
