The Many Habits of Unconventional Brides on WMG (Bring It On, Baby!)

In a world of "mee-toos" and "same-same, double-double" , it is hard to stay unconventional or different. Especially when it comes to the bride, we are looking at lots of traditions and ideas that are followed blindly, so time to make your own rules girls. And how do we go about it? Just look at the habits of unconventional brides and take a cue!

Restraint is great at weddings but some brides just go with their gut - they put on their favourite jewellery and go BIG! From maatha patti to bangles to jhoomar to layered necklaces, they make sure they flaunt it all. Grandma's rani haars and all.

They Might Go for An Alternative Hue ( Never Red or Pink)

Red or pink are popular choices in colour when it comes to lehengas but ask these ladies what they wanna wear on their special day and they go....mustard, teal, neon green or gold. And while the reds and fuchsias go a long way, these "other" colours really speak about their personalities and give an insight into their style!

Part of the charm of unconventional brides- you can never tell which label or store their outfits are from. They scour the narrow lanes of their city to score great finds and mix and match outfits to come up with something unique

They Invite Only a Select Few To The Wedding

This wedding with a healthy sprinkling of friends happened to be just a group of 60 because the parents refused to acknowledge them. And what a pretty wedding that was. In the same spirit, it really pays to select only a limited number of guests and families to really keep it minimalistic and intimate. We are so big on intimate weddings here at WMG.

Always worrying about her face, expressions or her decorum - the brides at WMG are spunky and fun and never afraid to keep their face anti-selfie. Why not? If you feel it, show it.

One bride actually painted 200 of those glass bottles for her wedding table centrepieces while another designed the fern meets wrought iron photobooth - original ideas, oodles of inspiration!

They go all out - matte smokey eye or metallic smokey eye, both a bit scary to try on the wedding day. But these ladies know how to break the rules and to break them in style? That's their thing!

So what if a bride loves her leather jacket? She can wrap it sweetly over her lehenga. One other bride wore a  brocade vest and another, flaunted a new-age jacket top on the lehenga - innovation, thy name is bride!
