Each year there are splendid shows by Indian fashion designers who bring together the elements of western trends and fuse it with the Indian need. The colors are more seasonal with blending done in embellishments, threadwork or crystals. The look and feel is also getting retro in terms of hairstyles and eye make up. Stylists offer their valued opinions in comprehensive packages right from the henna application to the kind of footwear. Most Indian weddings are elaborate happenings with the mehndi, sangeet, holy havan, bidaai and gruh pravesh. There are pujas and also formal meets for the bride with her new family. |
The collection of dresses should be a mixture of simple ones like chikan churidars, full dupattas of phulkari work or again prints that resemble the south cotton trends. The elegant formal collections can be salwar kameezs with elaborate work, embellishments or cuts-patterns.
The way of dressing, the food habits, language, etc., differs from region to region. There is also diversity in the way Indian marriages are celebrated. The Indian sari is the national garment of India, which is worn by women. But this is not necessarily what she wears on her wedding day. Amongst the common wedding dresses worn in India is the Ghagra Choli.

The style can be alternated with a pliable hair cut and top knots or braids can be employed. Styles also dependent on the venue or location.
Indian weddings are incomplete without the perfect footwear and jewelry. Pearls, rhinestones, diamonds and white gold are the rules for the season. Matching semi precious jewelry can be used to assort the collections. Go for jewelry that speaks about your style. Many times minimalism speaks eloquently about style. Music and dance are must-haves for the Indian wedding and hence one could do with a few dress rehearsals.
But for someone who is looking for exclusive yet inexpensive wedding dresses there is a sea of shops and boutiques that cater to your taste. So do not be despondent if you do not get what you want in your budget at the very first go. Before you go shopping dig into what you actually need.There are basically 3 sections you should divide your shopping into formal traditional, western formal and semi-casual. As there will be occasions in the beginning days just after the wedding that will require you to wear only traditional as you will be out for formal dinners and family get-togethers.
Then there will be times where just the two of you would love to go out, may be for dinner or some formal party nights. Here you can make most of your western formals. And then of course there are friends or colleagues you will be meeting. Get the best of the semi-formals out here. Hence think of the occasions on a whole and you can slot the purchases into them. Mixing too is a great idea so every time you get dressed it will seem you have something new. Get reds and mauves in the traditional segment. But silver is said to be the colour of the season set against white. So it could be a beautiful white salwar khameez or sari with silver work strewn around it. Complemented by silver accessories. ~ author K Bajaj.
