Red. Gold. Breathtaking. Bold.

That sums up the Indian bridal outfit, which we’re totally in love with. However, a little experimentation doesn’t hurt. From colors, details, styles and everything beyond, we’ve covered different kinds of outfits which you can consider for your wedding.

If you’re looking for something that can be set apart from the same old bridal attires, then not to worry, ’cause we’ve got oodles of outfit ideas to choose from.

Show-Stealing Sarees

• 

• 

• 

Saree, the Indian staple and a proven classic has managed to survive the changes in trends, gracefully making its way through experiments and coming out as a major player in the Indian style game.

This wedding season, we dare you to ditch lehengas. A fine fabric, intricate details, and the color of roses is just what you need in your saree to be the perfect bridal outfit.

Glorious Golden

Rhinestones and gold are just what you need to be the limelight of your wedding. Dare to move beyond reds and embrace the golden look.

Mesmerising Minimalism

• 

If you’ve been around for a while, then we’re sure you must already know just how much we love the minimalist aesthetic. If you too are fond of a minimalist wardrobe, then we bet you’d love to adorn this minimal look for your big day.

A monochrome lehenga in an offbeat shade, minimal details or an angelic white bridal outfit is the perfect fit for our brides who love deleting details and standing apart from the crowd.

Sparkling Silver

Ethereal Embroidery

Zari. Zardosi. Mirror Work.

As Indians, we’re blessed with a myriad of embroidery options to choose from. An embroidered velvet choli with a complementary flared lehenga, is one of the most gorgeous traditional bridal attires.

If you’re a fan of the traditional Indian embroidery, then this is just what you need.

Peppy Peplums

A traditional lehenga or an ethno western experiment? We’ve got the midway!

Intricate Sleeve Details

• 

If you don’t want to go overboard with your outfit choice, then adding a slight edge to you sleeve details might just be what you need.

From cape sleeves to lace appliques, there are numerous options to choose from. You might even opt for embroidered or beaded edges and if none of these are your style, then go ahead with a sleeveless number for your bridal outfit.

Experimental Necklines

• 

• 

When it comes to experimentation with your bridal outfit, then sleeves aren’t the only option.

You can very well try with your necklines. A rounded scoop or a plunging V are good choices if you’re opting for heavy jewelry. If not, then a high rising neckline is just what you need. A midway would be an off shoulder, figure hugging blouse with a minimal choker necklace to complete the look.

Fascinating Florals

A wedding is a lively affair and it’s always flowers which add to that freshness. Be it floral jewelry, backdrop decor or floral centerpieces, they add a refreshing angle to the joy-filled ceremonies.

But, apart from decor, have you ever thought of a bridal outfit sprinkled with floral motifs? Floral embroidery blossoming into a breathtaking number is something to consider. An attire along the lines of that is certainly a unique option for a wedding, but stunning nonetheless.
