Wedding planning is no easy job- you have a million things to do- shop for bridal shoes, accessories and not to forget- the dress. So have you purchased your wedding dress already? Or are you still looking for the ‘One’? Do you know that the style of wedding dress you choose actually reveals a great deal about your personality and the style of your wedding?
Read on to find out about what the different silhouettes and dress styles say about your the kind of bride you are.
A-Line
A-line is a very traditional bridal dress silhouette usually chosen by brides who wish to play it safe. Their look is bound to be always complete though never over the top. This dress style thus reveals a very practical type of bride. The wedding style would also be classic or traditional – marigolds, mandap, and heirloom jewellery handed down from generation to generation is bound to be a big part of these weddings.
Ball Gown Lehengas
Lehengas having a ball gown-like flare are preferred by brides who have always dreamt of fairytale weddings. Those who select this lehenga style are probably the “I can’t-wait-to-see-the-look-on-his-face” kinda brides who wish to keep their wedding dresses a huge secret until the last minute. The wedding is likely to be a fairy tale affair as well- complete with a resplendent Doli and over-the-top entertainment. Destination weddings in India are also seeing brides wearing the Ball gown lehenga.
Mermaid or Fish-cut style
Ever since the Mermaid style of lehengas set the ramps on fire, brides have been choosing them for their reception, Mehendi or Sangeet nights. The mermaid style is here to stay for a long time to come. The glam-girl kinda bride is particularly known to select the Mermaid or fish cut lehenga- one who knows what she wants and is completely confident. The wedding is bound to be full of tiny details as well- from chandeliers to flowers to the food served; the Mermaid-style wearing bride is likely to be highly involved in every stage of planning.
Indo-western fusion style Lehengas
The brides who select this style are the unconventional ‘Anti-bride’ types. They like to say no to traditional elements of wedding and wish for unconventional hatke ones in every aspect planning for the big day. These types do not mind a small intimate ceremony –given a choice, they would love to celebrate later with only a reception for close friends. They take inspiration from iconic, opinionated women as well as the style icons and fashionistas from around the world.
