The bridal lehenga is the most popular of all Indian wedding dresses. It’s traditional, graceful, beautiful, and has everything a bridal attire needs to be. Many brides are making heads turn in light floral lehengas, teamed with sparkling sequins blouses and light georgette Dupattas. It’s all about what you like and what you are most comfortable in.

There are no strict rules as to what colour, fabric, cut or design you choose and you can make your own ensemble. If you don’t want a heavy and traditional lehenga, keep it light and simple by choosing lehenga designs with breezy fabrics with little thread work or embellishments.

When it comes to lehengas, you should get one well within time. We would even go as far as suggesting you finalise one 8 months before your wedding so that even with all the alterations and size fitting, you have the complete attire at home before the wedding. But if you can't find a ready-made one, get it custom-made. Choose a lehenga fabric that is comfortable to wear, pick the colours of the entire outfit, choose the design, embroidery, mirror work, Gota Patti or whichever you please and then get it stitched in a style that flaunts your body type

2. The unmatched grace of a Kanjeevaram Saree

Most brides today choose their bridal dress based on one question - when will I ever wear it again? A heavy lehenga usually gets stored in a box, never to be worn again! A graceful Kanjeevaram saree is thus a great pick for brides who want to look stunning on their wedding day and be able to recreate the magic on other occasions too. It’s graceful, it's rich and you will have several occasions in life when you can wear your bridal dress again and feel the same tingling feeling of being a blushing bride! It’s rich in itself without being weighed down with heavy stonework or other embellished details. Choose your favourite colour!

While your graceful saree is in itself a statement piece, you can take it up a notch by giving the blouse a signature look. Go for Maggam work blouses as they will look best with Kanjeevaram saree. Pair the look with a classic Gajra with different fresh flowers than jasmine and you're all set to show off your customised look. 

3. A Rich Silk Saree

This look is especially perfect for morning or daytime weddings. Brides who prefer a simple and a no hassle look can make the most of this bridal attire. Complement your look with flowers in your hair, traditional jewellery and your carefree smile!

The best way forward would be to choose colours that make your eyes pop and makeup that is subtle but reflects the colour scheme well. Create a contrast colour scheme with the blouse and we're sure you'll look like a dazzling diva.
