From wearing black to rocking fearless bling, here are the best of bridal trends, which will make you an instant head-turner. Check out the top trends that every bride-to-be must consider before deciding her D-day look.

Shine On!
Metallics and shimmer are having a moment in the fashion world, so a golden embellished lehenga with a simple net dupatta can be the perfect pick. Team it with a maang-patti, haath-phool and emerald earrings. Go for a braided bun and keep the makeup minimal with soft eyes, big lashes and deep marsala lip colour accentuated with gold.

Mute Mode On
A hand embroidered muted green sari can do more than an embellished one. Ditch the heavy can-can lehenga and go fuss-free in a sari. You can accentuate the look with a borla — a Rajasthani maag-tikka — along with a nose ring and kadas. Minimal makeup is the key. Go for soft brown smokey eyes and nude pink matte lip colour.

Here are some home remedies to make it a happy few days every month

Minimalistic Red
If you like to keep it traditional, then go for red but let the couture garment be understated. A velvet lehenga with gold foil printed work and mukaish accents can be paired with a maatha-patti, haath-phool, an emerald choker and rani-haar, just like this look. Opt for long faux lashes, smokey eyes and deep red on the lips.

Black Swag
It’s time to go extravagant with a touch of royalty. An embroidered and embellished black jacket over a plain black anarkali is our pick. Break the norms and go for black. Team it up with a paasa and rings. A messy side bun with curled front tresses and nude lips will pump up your style game.
