Wine, peach or pink... Get your bridal colour
Red and green have always been typical wedding colours. So, how about some contemporary colours? These days brides and even grooms are very choosy about their clothes — be it for cocktails, marriage or the reception
For everyone their marriage day is such wherein, they want to look their very best. Especially brides in today's times will begin the hunt for the wedding costume almost months in advance. With marriages no longer having remained just a one day affair, the bride is keen on bearing a different and enticing look during each and every ceremony of her marriage. Not only brides but even the groom today have got extremely choosy over their costumes and want to look their stunning best be it for the cocktails, marriage or during the reception ceremony.
With India being a land of diverse cultures every community has their own bridal wear which differs depending on the colours, patterns and designs as well. Amongst the Hindu brides, colours like red, maroon and orange have always known to dominate. "A Marwadi bride will always prefer traditional kundan work on her lehenga. Since most of the Marwadi brides wear ancestral jewellery like kundan uncut designer jewellery sets, they like their bridal outfits also to be designed in the very same manner. Half brocade and half gold foil net sarees with sheen of tissue on it is also loved by most brides," says Kanch Advani from Kanch studio pret in Vashi.
Amongst Gujarati brides the gharchola sarees are mostly worn by the brides. "Readymade sarees are in huge demand now-a-days, considering the bride does not have to face a lot of discomfort while draping it up. Besides amongst Hindu brides colours like wine, peach and pink are also gaining prominence. For the catholic bride, I use huge buckram inside the gown along with some attractive swarovski work which is done over the gown," asserts Advani.
Most designers feel that it's better if brides go to just one designer while getting their entire bridal trousseau made as that designer will be able to give the bride a wide variety of outfits. "Punjabi brides love to go in for heavy hand made or stone work on their lehenga choli's. Besides amongst Sindhi's you will find a lot of heavy embroidery work on their lehenga. Most Hindu brides prefer wearing a bridal outfit which has a lot of shimmer and glamour in it," says Vashi-based fashion designer Sulagna Chatterjee. She believes royal colours like dark blue and emerald green are being asked by a lot of brides currently. Maharashtrian brides have always loved wearing the paithani sarees. The unique stone studded work with the awesomely attractive kundan work on it makes these nine yards look even more fabulous.
"The concept of readymade pleats is gaining prominence amongst brides of almost all communities. From around 7,000 onwards you can get some really beautiful bridal sarees. Mirror work and sequin and diamonds on the sarees makes the sarees look really beautiful," says Nilesh Chedda from Roopsangam store in Vashi. The kanjeevaram saree amongst the South Indian brides is also available at this store.
Velvet work on sarees is also catching up rapidly but the only problem is that velvet work makes the saree heavy which in turn makes it difficult for the bride to move around. For the groom too there are huge options available in both sherwani's and blazers. A bit of shimmer in blazers is 'in' and designer sherwani's in royal colours are available. Stores are seen to design unique sherwani's or suits depending on the person's choice of colour, cut and style.
