1. Floral Printed Lehenga

Floral prints are that one evergreen summer trend that never tends to lose its charm. These light printed floral lehenga styles are a breeze of fresh air and are perfect if you have a day mehndi ceremony in place. With layers of summer-friendly fabrics, super-light wearability, hair tamed into a floral bun and Dewey makeup touched up, you cannot go wrong with this choice of lehenga among other bridal mehndi dresses for your own ceremony.

Match a pair of mirrored aviators to go with this look and if you are interested in being sporty (quite literally) then you can pair this lehenga with comfortable sneakers. Trust us, sneakers have become a hot trend among brides-to-be now with many designers offering customisation as well.

2. The Sabyasachi Lehenga

If you are wondering where have you seen the similar lehenga, then let us refresh your memory a bit. This very lehenga became a rage when Alia Bhatt adorned it for the promotions of her movie, Kalank. This bright neon green lehenga with miniature floral embroidery is a creation of Sabyasachi Mukherjee. The hints of Gota Patti work and silver zari work on the entire lehenga is what glamorises this lehenga further.

If your mehndi ceremony’s theme consists of bright colours then adorning this lehenga instead of other bridal mehndi dresses will definitely look like the princess of this party with this pop of visible coloured lehenga. You can go the Alia way and keep your jewellery to a limited, or you can go all out and smartly pair Meenakari jewellery done in sublime shades to match the ultra-bright neon colour of this lehenga.

3. Floral Thread Embroidery Saree

We all have witnessed how slowly the floral jewellery trend has crawled into the list of wedding trends of the decade. Since this trend is to stay and you plan on adapting to it for your very own mehndi ceremony as well, then you would want to look for a saree that comes embellished with floral thread embroidery. A saree among other bridal mehndi dresses can be called a breath of fresh air which can be draped the traditional way or the lehenga style as well.

A well fitted floral thread embroidered blouse matched with a plain silk or georgette saree can make you look like a Bollywood actress of the 70s. Such retro bridal mehndi dresses should always be complemented with a bouffant bun, red lips and kitten heels. If you would like to ante up the style, go ahead and wear the saree Dhoti style. The Sonam Kapoor inspired Dhoti saree will be much comfortable for long hours of sitting through the mehndi ceremony and will bring in a sense of a contemporary approach to a traditional silhouette.

4. The Summer Lehenga

Look like royalty when you adorn another creation of Sabyasachi Mukherjee. You can get much inspiration as far as bridal mehndi dresses are concerned from Sabyasachi’s ‘Endless Summer’ collection which is all about beautiful colours married to traditional embellishment trends of the country. This violet summer lehenga is surely a spotlight stealer with the right amount of volumes on the skirt and well-fitted blouse to contain the flow of the entire look.

Wear this young looking summer lehenga which has been done with fine flora (not floral) embellishments to make a classy statement and a border lace in a similar colour scheme to complete this masterpiece. Mid-parted hair pressed to a T or curly highlights will work wonders with this lehenga, while peep-toe heels in silver will give more structure to your posture as well as this floor-length lehenga as well.

For couples who plan on making their weddings and extravagant affair (note - big fat weddings), deciding on themes for each of the ceremony is a natural procedure. So how about amplifying the theme a little extra and getting custom dresses made for the occasion? Just like this tribal set of harem pants and cropped top in the same print with tassels and bohemian embroidery to complement the overall look is nothing less of a masterpiece!
