You have your normal kurtas and then you have your kalidar kurtas. A kalidar kurta is made up using a lot of fabric. It has much more flair than your average Anarkali, making the silhouette very flowy and easy to move in. The silhouette looks so grand that at the first look, it transports us to the Mughal times when kings, emperors and women amongst many others used to don a similar silhouette. And, lately, a plethora of brides have been drawn to the silhouette for their roka ceremony, sangeet function and even for their wedding day.

So, today we have found real brides who wore a kalidar bridal outfit and slayed their bridal looks. Scroll below to take major inspiration from them!
