Trending silhouettes for brides for various ceremonies

Asymmetrical and ruffled lehengas with stylized blouses and long trailing gowns are trending. Jackets with lehengas are sought after. The play of sheer is the most striking feature this season. We see it in chic blouses, artfully embroidered sleeves, tulle capes and sublime jackets.

Outfit options for bridesmaids

Bridesmaids can be the most experimental at weddings. They can choose printed ensembles with design details over heavy embroidery and stunning silhouettes instead of simple traditional ensembles. A ruffled edged satin saree or a cold shoulder embellished blouse with a flared lehenga is highly recommended for bridesmaids.

Hottest wedding trends for 2018 brides

Dramatic flares with intrinsic embroidery, short dresses, ruffled flares and asymmetrical full skirts with embellished details are in trend. Long ball gowns in vibrant emerald and raspberry add to the glamour quotient. Couture, as always, holds its place, giving all these trends the much-needed uniqueness as hand embroidered details transcend the garments into timeless masterpieces.

Let's Talk About Trending Bridal Colours

Organic Pastel Hues for Summer Weddings

The freshness and playfulness of organic pastel shades with intricate light embroidery are favoured for summer weddings. Attention to design details with romantic floral patterns as muted pallets of blossoming flowers conveys the mood of spring and summer.

Vivid Jewel Tones for Winter Weddings

The vivid jewel tones of deep ruby, emeralds and dark sapphire reflect the onset of winter while luring us in their warmth. Traditional red lehengas with beautiful gold embroidery and glamorous gold lehengas are recommended for winter wedding.

Soft colours and Delicate Embroidery for Day Weddings

Day weddings call for soft colors and delicate embroidery. You can choose a lehenga with an encrusted jacket in soothing colors that can perfect transitional ensembles as the day progresses into the evening. Dramatically flared lehengas with textured blouses and dupattas with tassels are recommended.

Contrasting Combinations for Evening Weddings

Evening weddings give you options to dress to what your heart desires. Muted pallets or jewel tones, both work for this time of the day. In muted pallets, adding dark highlights in terms of contrasting blouses and dupattas makes a distinctive impression. Heavily gold embellished lehengas or gowns in traditional Indian embroidery techniques fit well with the grandeur of an evening wedding.

Appropriate Fabrics for Wedding Wear throughout the Year

Tulle & Georgettes for Summer Weddings

Tulle and georgette work well for summer wedding as they are light and sheer. There is easiness in carrying tulle ensembles that are intricately hand embroidered. Georgette can be worn for the wedding functions that demand a bride to be active. The light of the flare swirls around, giving away a dreamy feel.

Rich Velvets for Winter Weddings

For winter weddings, fabrics such as velvet work very well. They are rich and heavy and can also be embellished with beautifully heavy embroidery to give a regal and sophisticated look. 

Silks and Organza for Day Weddings

Varieties of silk-like raw silk and matka silk work well for day weddings. They are organic sustainable fabric that do not stick to your body and still give you a structured look. Organza sarees with light embroidery can be worn for an elegant formal look.

Combination of Fabrics for Evening Weddings

Evening weddings call for experimentation with combinations of fabrics. Intricately embroidered raw silk lehengas with heavily embellished blouses and tulle dupattas make perfect wedding ensembles. Jackets over layered on tulle lehengas are also considered a good option. An organza ruffle detail on a dupatta or a saree hem adds style to a garment.
