If there’s one bridal staple that was pretty much found in our mommies’ and grand mothers’ closets back then, and is still reigning like crazies, it’s the Bandhani (without a doubt!) The colorful tie-dye technique is loved by one and all. And this year, it has gotten even bigger (and better)! With something as crazy as a pair of hot pink Bandhani boots to the voguish half and half Bandhani sarees and classic bandhani lehengas, our bridal connoisseurs have taken the Bandhani trend to a whole new level! Not just that, we even witnessed how the combo of Banarasi & Bandhani has charmingly replaced the old, tie-dye stuff, giving it a total glam makeover.
Can’t wait to try it on your wedding? Here’s a quick round up on all that’s trending around Bandhani this season and how you can experiment with it on your wedding. Take cues and make the most out of it.
