White and gold is a traditionally elegant colour combination that spells class. Rohit Bal’s collection at the India Couture Week 2014 was evidence that this gorgeous combination always comes tops. Beautiful full-flared lehengas worn with bandhgala-inspired jackets in the same colour combination left us breathless. While his collection was inspired by traditional prints, a more sequin-heavy look could be a great choice for the lehenga choli bridal wear you pick. The colour palette of this lehenga choli bridal wear collection is one that personally we would like to see off the ramp, too.

Traditional yet Offbeat
More
often than not, lehenga choli bridal wear that is traditional in design is also
in the conventional shades of red and maroon. So we were overjoyed to see this
pink and blue JJ Valaya creation on actress Shraddha Kapoor at the official
announcement of the Indian Bridal Fashion Week. The gorgeous pastel pink and
blue combination with the subtle ombre effect isn’t one you see often and we
love it. We also saw a deeper, brighter pink and blue bridal lehenga choli in
Manish Malhotra’s collection and we are beginning to lust after this
not-oft-explored combination in lehenga choli bridal wear.

Functional and Classy
Looking for a classier, sleeker bridal
outfit that you could probably wear again without feeling too over the top?
Then Abraham & Thakore’s look featured in a leading bridal magazine maybe
just what you are looking for.
Wide-legged, high-waisted pants that when worn
could easily pass off for a lehenga and a half-sleeved traditional choli; the
entire outfit taken up a notch with sequin embroidery, it is a look that is
draws your attention without being garish. This is the perfect lehenga choli
bridal outfit for a bride who believes in subdued elegance.

Now if you are bride who is a bit of rebel
and you want a lehenga choli for your bridal duties that is a bit more off
kilter, then we suggest for inspiration Monisha Jaisingh’s latest collection.
She had model Lisa Haydon strut down the ramp in a black leather-inspired, heavily-embroidered
in the Rococo style lehenga which was worn with a white knotted shirt top, and
beautiful bridal jewellery. The edgy brides of today would love an outfit
inspired by this; a lehenga choli bridal in design but dramatic and rebellious
at heart.

Conventional and Classic
If you love the classic beauty of a red
lehenga choli (and who doesn’t), look no further than Manish Malhotra for
inspiration. At the India Couture Week, he played around with gold dust and
beige hues to create lehenga choli bridal designs. What left us spellbound was
the creation in which Alia Bhatt walked down the ramp; a red full-sleeved choli
with gold embroidery on the sleeves, a full, flared, covered with gold work
lehenga, and a sheer dupatta. To say that it was breathtaking would be to spell
the obvious.
Now that you have been spoilt for choice,
picking the lehenga choli bridal outfit for your D-day should be an easier
task. Be prepared for the admiration and compliments you receive when you make
your entrance on your special day. It’s going to be a moment that you will want
to relive time and time again.
