"When a bride picks her wedding ensemble for her big day, she wants it to be perfectly aligned with the vision that she has set in mind. However, afterwards a lot of brides come back with hopes to get their wedding outfits revamped, to make it more wearable for other occasions. Personally, I absolutely love this part of re-purposing the outfits. Drawing subtle elements from your attire and pairing it differently to create an entirely new look, is something I love to do for our brides!"
"One of the things I often suggest brides to do, is to change the silhouette of the outfit. This way one can re-purpose their wedding ensemble and can create a whole different look, vis-à-vis the one donned at the wedding."
"One way to achieve an understated look is to pair a heavy blouse with a lighter lehenga. For instance, a mirror-work blouse can simply be paired with a lighter skirt/lehenga, possibly of a lighter fabric. By pairing an embellished blouse with a light skirt, the ensemble becomes more wearable and appropriate for multiple functions."
"Opting for a natural nude makeup look and leaving your hair down, can help give a lighter, breezier feel to the entire attire. Pairing a one-toned heavy blouse with a lighter lehenga will also make the outfit more day/night appropriate. This would be ideal for a close family member's or a best friend’s wedding."
"If one doesn't wish to switch around the lehenga and blouse too much, the ensemble can be given a toned-down look with minimal, delicate jewellery. This draws attention to the lehenga, without it being over the top or too heavy for the occasion."
"Who said that the blouse and lehenga both can't be light? Need an outfit for a distant relatives wedding? Well, this is the one!"
"The dupatta is the most versatile element in Indian ensembles. It can gracefully be paired with any other outfit - a sharara set, another lehenga or even a suit set."
"Additionally, a dupatta simply draped differently can make all the difference to the overall look!"
Here’s the ultimate guide to making it a fun celebration!
It’s time to ring in new beginnings!
