The bridal lehenga is quite an investment, especially if it is a designer one. We love it when brides go on to rewear their own bridal lehengas, and love to see how they choose to style it so that it doesn't scream 'bridal' anymore. We had loved WMG Real Bride Gauri's looks and that gorgeous fuchsia pink lehenga three years ago when we featured her wedding, and were genuinely pleased to see her wear the same Anita Dongre lehenga again at her sister's wedding recently.
Pretty, right? We were in absolute awe of her bridal look, and we think even though she had a 'trendy' colour combination, it's a look that's still so relevant 3 years down the line, and fuchsia as it is, is an evergreen bridal colour!
Now coming to her recent look at her sister's wedding, just notice how this time around, the lehenga did not look bridal at all- even though her sister wore a pastel lehenga, but the brightness of Gauri's lehenga still did not steal her sister's limelight at all.
Love how the look of the lehenga has been transformed! Goes on to show how the hair style, dupatta drape and jewellery makes such a difference!
Investing in a lehenga that's versatile- which can be styled to look 'bridal' and then reworn again at any other wedding is sustainable and we are all for it!
Gauri tells us, "When picking out my wedding lehenga, I was certain I didn't want it to be something that would sit locked up in a box after my big day. I'm a huge believer in sustainable fashion, and knowing the impact fashion waste can have on our environment made me all the more sure that I wanted something I could wear again, that's why I chose this Anita Dongre lehenga in pink with very light embroidery. The best part was that the lehenga had two dupattas, a pink and a sage green, so I had the option of styling it in different ways. "
"Three years later when my sister was getting married, in an intimate ceremony in Ranthambore, I decided it was the perfect time to bring out my lehenga again."
"This time around, I kept my hair open, unlike the floral bun I had sported at my wedding. I opted for just the sage green dupatta, and completed the look with a matha tikka and polki kada's from my mom's jewellery collection."
A superb way to rewear that bridal lehenga that's just lying around, isn't it?
