1. COLOUR!

While Red and its immediate family remains perennial for bridal-wear, present trends see the influx of a host of pastel

unusual colours like lavenders, aubergines, turquoises, fuchsia, flaming orange etc

. as well. Also ombre shading is dramatic.

2. CUT!

Volume is passé. The fit and flare style, where the hip is almost hugged

and followed by a controlled flare in the

lehnga

is the order of the day.

3. TRADITIONALLY SEXY!

This season highlights the evolving marriage between tradition and

contemporary styling with silhouettes becoming sexier

. Blouses play with necklines and sleeves.

4. CRYSTAL…

is the order of the day.

Swarovski is style personified…shimmer is being used cleverly and in abundance.

5. SHEER…

transparency is a favourite. So you can take your pick from drape organza, net or lace.

An edge detail and/or crystal all over completes the look.
