Indian Wedding Clothing: 5th Day of IBFW 2013

    

 

The Indian wedding clothing has an exquisite style that goes behind every sort of imagination.

Also the fifth day of the IBFW 2013 made us dream, thanks to beautiful models like Sucheta Sharma, which walked the catwalk for the enjoyment of everyone.

Looking at the beautiful creations we were enthralled by the brilliant colours, the meticulous embroideries, the perfect length of the dresses and the astonished flared skirts.

The models that belong to Indian wedding clothing are variegated in shapes and colours, usually women prefer colours such as red, blue or cream, but even the unconventional black model showed on the catwalk succeeded in transmitting grace and elegance.

The last day of the IBFW 2013 was concluded in style by AZVA and fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani, accompanied by actress Lisa Haydon as a showstopper. “My good friend Lisa Haydon is with me and she walked the ramp as a contemporary bride.” Tarun said. 

His collection, divided in three sections, included wedding lehengas in red and orange, anarkali gowns with sheer jackets and golden sequined sarees. In his words, the designer desired to provide lightness to bridal wears, so that a woman feels light and beautiful in her wedding lehenga.

You can just rest enchanted by the amazing Indian wedding clothing that dominated the catwalk during Suneet Varma's fashion show at IBFW 2013. 

The golden colour was the predominant, but  what we appreciated the most was the elegance granted to each dress by jewels and embroideries. 

Be Cool Adding Indian Earrings To Your Outfit

As usual, we search inspiration for daily outfits looking at what the catwalk suggests us.

For example, during the third day of IBFW 2013 in New Delhi what dominated the catwalks were jewels: in particular beautiful Indian earrings.

               

What we appreciate the most of Indian earrings is that they fit every personality and are suitable for several occasion of use. At the office you can add a touch of sophistication to your shirt and match your hair tied back with long silver Indian earrings. For a special occasion you can choose to attract people attention by wearing big golden earrings with embedded colourful stones. The success of these choices will be assured.
