Trending : Offbeat motifs on your lehenga - Dragonflies, Carriages & More

Florals have been pretty much ruling the ramp for bridal wear in recent times, but of late we have been introduced  to a fresh new trend we absolutely love. Anju Modi introduced lehengas with motifs of carriages,  birdcages and even castles all telling an English fairytale with exquisite detailing . We spotted Dragonflies by Tania o Conner and closer  to home, weaving an Indian fairytale are lehengas with motifs of elephants and parrots.

Carriage Motifs

Last year Anju Modi had the most exquisite detailing at India Couture Week 2014  . Thread , zari and sequin combined to tell the tale of        horse-drawn carriages, ferns and flowers on a bridal lehenga
