27+ Gorgeous Jacket Lehenga Designs For Brides

Light Jacket Style Lehengas

Lightly embroidered jacket lehengas are not only elegant but minimalistic which are the perfect fit for both day and night functions. They not only help showcase the rich and colourful personality of the bride but also reflect a perfect blend of tradition and modernism. Generally, the jackets of these lehengas are made of silk, chiffon or soft net. The light embroidery on these materials is mostly zari, sequins, stones and beads. And some of the most popular colours of these alluring lehengas are pastel pink, blue, green, lavender, grey, red, maroon and ultramarine blue. Here are some of our favourite designs.
