Rohit Bal: This wedding season, red roars back

But does it mean pastels for the bride are jaded?

After a few years of yellow, green and pastel shades being breakaway colours for the modern Indian bride, traditional red has made a comeback in 2016. Rohit Bal’s perfect bride for the season, the modern Indian dulhan (pictured here), stands out in ‘sindoori red’. It shows the brilliance of Indian kaarigars, uses velvet and six different kinds of embroidery, all entirely done by hand.
