THE POWER OF WHITE

A modern bride can never go wrong with white. This jacket-style lehenga is light-weight and spells effortless glamour. Teamed with silver jewellery, it makes for a beautiful choice for sangeet festivitie­s

DHOTI GOES INTERNATIO­NAL

If you are a contempora­ry bride who likes things with a hint of tradition, this peplum kurta with sequin work and thread embroidery is a head-turning pick for you.

GEOMETRY MEETS NATURE

Geometric motifs applied in bronze, gold and silver blended with floral embroidery make this sari stand out. Paired with a beaded blouse, it’s a perfect pick for the modern bridesmaid.

WHIFF OF FRESHNESS

This refreshing green light-weight lehenga with gotta work, paired with a sheer choli is perfect for a mehendi function.

FLORAL OPULENCE

Models twirled on the ramp just like the confident, new-age brides in this resplenden­t anarkali. Bead-embedded flowers strewn over beautifull­y textured fabric celebrated nature in the most breathtaki­ng way.

BLUSHED TO PERFECTION

A blush flared kurta with palazzos spruced with intricate zardozi work and hand-embroidery will stand out in a sea of reds and maroons.

VELVET VERVE

Floral zardozi and gold wire work done on velvet lehengas exuded opulence. The A-line lehenga was teamed with a sheer blouse. This look is for the freespirit­ed bride who plays by her own fashion rules.

LUXE IS BLACK

This black velvet jacket with golden embroidery on the sleeves and a cheerful red flower on one side presented a fun, light-hearted take on couture for men. The unbuttoned jacket was teamed with satin pants for the ultra-luxe effect.

DIPPED IN GOLD

Golden jodhpuri pants teamed with black velvet jacket took predictabi­lity out of menswear. The over-sized flower on one side made this design a total head-turner.

THE BIGGER THE BETTER

When it’s a flower, it has to be a big deal! A stunning black sari with bold, over-sized flowers was given a sexy twist with a luxe wrap blouse. A slick top knot bun and strong eyebrows completed the look.

IT’S A WRAP

Wrap blouses with A-line skirts created an effortless­ly sculpted look. Bright red flamingo prints on the ivory skirt added that dash of colour to the contempora­ry attire.

SARONG STORY

Reviving the lungi, modern jackets with silver thread work were teamed with cotton silk blend lungis. The allivory look was completed with offwhite moccasins. A great option for those who never shy away from experiment­ing.
