Ask every indulgent aunty and she’ll tell you that - fuchsia and red are the way to go. What’s a wedding in India without the brightest hues in tow? . Cut to 2015 however , white has become a big part of our rituals - it’s seen as a classic colour to wear, an interesting hue to balance out the rest of the outfit and an absolute evergreen choice at every wedding. If it’s not white at the wedding, it’s being worn with great exuberance at sangeets and mehendis and rokas. Designers like Sabyasachi and Rohit Bal have made it part of their collections every year and bridal stores always keep a white option - just in case! So we decided to show you how real brides have used this ubiquitous shade to give their wedding a pinch of real style!
If you thought only bright colours work with whites, you are wrong. If you want vintage charm and a delicate -looking lehenga. The idea is to keep it low-key but dazzle with your jewellery and makeup. Perfect for brides who hate going over the top.
You love red, you like green but the combination might just be a bit much for your wedding. To avoid the tack factor, you use white as a filler. Now, two beautiful shades can live happily ever after because they are paired together with a white lehenga or dupatta or blouse. Inventive eh?
