Weddingona!
Weddings and the things that
they bring! Lots of joy, happiness and laughter that serenades through the
curtains; the colourful garlands hugging the walls, choreographing a beautiful
dance with flowers; the smell spreading like happiness, is definitely beyond my
explanation. Every face is so contagious that....
I can just keep going on and
on and on. Thanks to one of the weddings I attended very recently. Weddings
have seen a lot of changes through the years, and so did the choice of clothes
from the bride to the farthest relative. Of course everyone wants to look drop
dead gorgeous, but at the same time donning the latest trends becomes a bit of
a challenge. But who is scared of challenges? We aren’t!
Today, you can pick from saris
to Lehengas to Anarkalis. And if you are the bridesmaid, there is nothing that
you have to restrict yourself from. Really!
In this blog, I am going to
share some of the latest trends that will surely turn heads when you cross
their ambit.
Saris: Saris are the hottest
this season. That silk drape dipped in an amazing cusp of blue and pink,
exposing your beautiful belly embraced by a silver belt can steal hearts away.
Use minimal jewelry. Make a side plait and lift your tresses up while putting a
beautiful flower matching the color of your Sari for that chic look. It not
only brings back the 80s look but also shows that you ain’t afraid of
experimenting. And so ain’t afraid to look different than others.
Lehengas : Gone are the days
when Lehengas were just about a flair going all the way down your waist.
Lehengas have also seen a lot of changes in the patterns, cuts and work. You
can either pick the parallel style or the straight cut or even the Lehenga cum
sari style, which is trending today. Mellow down the look with
sober colors like peach, plum, cream, light mehendi, royal blue, etc. You can
either team it up with gold jewellery or diamond. But make sure, you ain’t
forgetting your smile ;)
Anarkalis: With latest
revolution in fashion in terms of Anarkalis has changed the whole scenario of
wedlocks. Go for lightweight Anarkalis which aren't carrying too much work.
Simple is the way to go. Pick rich colors like Wine red, Royal Blue, Green, or
pure whites flushed with crystal work.
But there are a
few things you should keep in mind before you make your presence felt. Now a
days it’s all about ‘cuts’ more than the ‘work’. You have to, before going any
step further, make sure that the cuts are at the right places and the dress
fits you well. Also, Sabyasachi’s and Manish’s latest collections have proved
‘less is more’. With less work, yet maintaining that grace will make sure that
you steal the show. And if you can’t afford expensive brands; you can surely
peep into other designers who are equally good when it comes to their designs.
So, what you waiting for! Go
and grab the look that inspires you the most, to look different! And write to me at prangnyasdiary@gmail.com for personal advice or in case you want to share some of your amazing style statements.
