A
millennial bride craves for a signature element in her wedding outfit that says
‘Me’ louder and clearer than ever. For this very reason, every bride-to-be is
on the hunt for an edgier trousseau collection, one that’s offbeat yet
fashionably rooted in Indian culture. Think lehengas with jackets, draped gowns
featuring vibrant floral prints and playful ruffled hemlines.
Florals
are taking over Indian weddings this season and if you’ve been looking for ways
to incorporate this trend into your bridal trousseau, then read on. Here are
some of the year’s hottest silhouettes featuring floral prints that skillfully
combine trend and tradition :
A Classic Lehenga with Floral
Bunch Print
This one
is the high priestess of any Indian bridal trousseau, featuring a stunning
interplay of elegance and sophistication. If you are looking for a classy
wedding outfit then a lehenga with floral bunch print will fit the bill.
Experiment with startling colors or stick to basics – nude, beige, mint, black,
navy blue, wine or soft pink while keeping the blouse simple. Opt for borders that
add subtle glamour to the whole look for a head turning bridal look.
Victorian Gowns with Floral Details
Sophisticated
yet inventive, a fitted corseted party or reception ensemble can make heads
turn all the way. Throw in the off-shoulder trend followed by a fitted bodice
that cascades down into a dreamy flare with floral details. Style the gown with
a pair of diamond danglers and you’re all set for the first dance. For an
edgier look, indulge in sheer fabrics and sensuous, corseted bustier.
Color Splashed Tie-Dye Lehengas
with a Floral Blouse
The
tie-dye trend is making waves everywhere from international runways to the
streets. In fact color interplays are all over the place from balayage hair
color to ombre lips to bright nail art. Opt for a lehenga that’s a perfect
blend of light and dark hues for flaunting a more off-beat look. Pair this one
with a chic, minimalistic blouse adorned with gorgeous floral details.
Draped Floral Lehengas
A Draped
lehenga is another big bridal wear trend this year and when mixed with florals,
it’s simply stunning. The smartly tailored, diva-esque cut gives you a more contoured
look, making you look less bulky. Make it dreamy by adding a dainty neckpiece
and statement earrings.
Velvet Lehengas with Floral
Embroidery
Velvet lehengas
are another set of favorite trousseau pieces. The fabric is luxe and gives you an
opulent look. Ditch the customary designs and sport a fusion look to seal the
ethereal princess look. The best part is that you can play it down with minimal
accessories or spice it up with some bold makeup to make it perfect for you - the
millennial Indian bride.
