5 Lehenga designs for that Intimate weddings

Tuesday, 29 September 2020 / , ,

Have that small wedding function and don't want too dressy over the top lehenga styles ? Especially when the wedding gatherings have become small and intimate . Sharing a few options for you to still look the best while staying in line with that trend factor . A few trends can still be incorporated and are classy and elegant and make for the perfect hands me down garments.

1. Florals - Florals has been a dominating trend from 2019 and we still can't get enough of it . They are so versatile and so light weight and can easily UP that drama just by adding a sequin blouse or a crop top with a matching dupatta . Best part - You can remix your floral lehengas for a more subtle party look by just switching the accessories and blouse . I say bring out your collared white shirts for an alternate pairing and be always on top of your style game. 




2. Sequin Power - One trend that we see in almost all the fancy wedding gears is that of the sequin . It lends the much needed bling to even the simplest of garments . Then be it a sequin patch or the whole fabric turned into a sequin masterpiece , its one element that adds the much needed ZING FACTOR .

For a simple day wedding you can choose a light sequin detailing over a bold colour ( Black, Browns or Red ) with rest of the sequin detailing going all over the sleeves and dupatta . Not only its light weight obviously ( for you to easily tune and tap dancing ) it is also easy to accessorise with bold Kundan jewellery and heavy makeup . 


3. Red and Gold - The Traditional  

Talking about lehengas and we don't mention one of the most sought after combo - Its impossible .

Red and gold combination is everyone's favourite . If you are a bride or maybe not, when it comes to an ideal colour combination , this combination has been acing the wedding scenes since decades . Just add on a bit of festive shimmer by pairing it either with a gold sequin blouse or a matching red sequin blouse,       ( both look great if you ask me ) and there you have it - the choicest pick for every bride and bridesmaid . You can pair it with any type of jewellery ,but I would prefer polki or gold . This colour combo will forever remain alluring and special to me because its a symbol/onset of that celebratory feeling . 


4. ZariMania - Slight Zari embroideries with a combination of foil print is a great mix of Indian legacy mixed with hint of modernism . Foil prints are already seen on the runways paired with traditional embroideries . They have a sort of old world charm to it . These kind of styles are light , easy to carry and looks stunningly bright in pictures - hello instagrammers I hope you are reading this.  For the ladies who want to go for something other than red , I would suggest coral tones, with golden Zari and foil prints could serve as great alternatives. The extra attention to detailing on borders , sleeves and dupatta borders lends a very exuberant feel and the next minute you know , your outfit becomes the most saved look on Instagram.

5. The Long than Short of it.

This style ( picture below ) is for all those ladies who are a little too shy to show off the midriff as found in shorter choli styles . This longer choli combo is a saviour for those women and looks equally splendid too. The flared style lehenga and long jacket style choli is functional, yet beautiful and looks quite youthful TBH . Also Delhi peeps, those harsh outdoor winter weddings will soon have all the brides and bridesmaid thanking their stylist when they go in for a lehenga option something like this . What say ?


So what kind of a Lehenga Lover are you  ? Are you a team Red or a team gold or both of them ? Sound me off in the comments .

Indo Western Ways to Wear A Sari

Thursday, 13 February 2014 / , , , , , , , , , , ,

I got these photos clicked just before heading out for a wedding. I am not at all a Sari person ;rather you can call me a typical  fuddy-duddy stereotype women who gets away in a suit/churidar whenever there is an urgent demand to dress up in an ethnic wear n that's about it ! I can be counted as one of those Indian women who get intimidated at the mere thought of wearing a sari ! I own approx eight sari's mostly in brocade n kanjeevaram which were handed over forcefully by my mom,after giving me a whole culture appropriate talk  #mouthshut.
Recently my blogger friend  Aditi from So- Saree  mailed me about a blog feature on the theme Sari. I gulped in a chunk of thought and decided to redeem a few of my precious Saris my mother passed on so lovingly, and do a style post for her ! 
Sari for me is too constraining, and I got a lil spooked out to wear a blouse,especially when I had to put up with numbing days and arctic cold last month . Well ,when necessity becomes the mother of all inventions, I decided to bring more fun and alternate the blouse with my Zara turtle neck to give it a more indo western spin and a Bindi fix to work some Desi girl magic around and speak the language of elegance.
You will find the same post on Aditi's blog too.
