6 FRESH-OFF-THE-RAMP LEHENGAS FOR THE WEDDING SEASON
Written by Nazneen JoshiAug 27, 2014
With a focus on local textiles and handlooms and re-inventing traditional cuts, silhouettes and styles, this fashion week was all about bringing out modern appeal and functionality while keeping the heart of culture secure. Manish Malhotra, during his masterclass told us that more and more brides are approaching him, asking him to create an outfit that would both please their in-laws during the ritual part of the wedding and then appeal to their senses post the departure of their in-laws—so that they can dance their way to one memorable wedding. There’s nothing more interesting to see than to witness the bride enjoy her wedding more than the guests. So, we’ve got you our roster of lehengas that have smashed it out of the park this fashion season and that do both: look exquisite and allow you to have a gala of a time.
We start off with a Manish Malhotra blockbuster—words do not do justice to this this grey-silver lehenga, which is styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania with a Little Shilpa floral headgear. Apt for a wedding reception, the ensemble in itself is has so much glamour that you’ll need minimal jewellery to complement it, which will lighten up your whole look. Silver truly is the new gold this wedding season.
Lisa Haydon rocks this Ridhi Mehra creation, which looks so effortless and carefree. Perfect for your cocktail ceremony—the navy blue and off-white concoction will please the elders while its meticulous embroidered work and will keep you happy, and your hands free!
We are crushing hard on this understated champagne-hued Anita Dongre sari-style draped lehenga. This season, minimalism certainly is the trend to go by and this beautifully crafted piece is very much on trend. Accessorised with ear-cuffs and a head-piece, you can modernise this look, which is perfect for an engagement.
The common consensus at the BeBEAUTIFUL office was simple: either get married in an Anju Modi lehenga or don’t get married at all—and this stunning creation is testament to that very sentiment. Beautiful craftsmanship, a modern colour combination and draping to die for—this truly is the piece that every bride is hunting down for.
And on the other hand—if you’re not quite ready to go deep with black on your big day—here is a perfectly crafted princess lehenga for your big day. Complete with soft-pink, glittering crystals, net, and a whole lot of volume—you will look the picture of perfect, we kid you not!
To add that flair of frivolity and fun to your sangeet, try this signature Arpita Mehta lehenga worn by Ileana D’Cruz. With mirror work, a sexy back and a body-chain—there is nothing more you want in a sangeet-do.
As the esteemed Dorothy Parker once said "living well is the best revenge" and I take that piece of advice to heart. A babe in the woods for all things theatrical--I like to see drama in the mundane. Fresh off the yacht into this editorial world, I look forward to bringing in a fresh, beautiful perspective.
