Leather lehenga to sheer churidar: New bridal trousseau must-haves

Leather lehenga"Today's bride is the epitome of modernity, mixed with culture, class and edge. I have used leather to make a luxe lehenga, which breaks the usual rules of wedding attire," says designer Monisha Jaising. Ask her how to style the look and she says, "Since the lehenga is quite striking by itself, I have balanced it with a classic white shirt and layered it with vintage Indian jewellery." Jaising adds that her statement lehenga can also be styled with a simple cropped kurti or a dull-gold corset.

High-waist lehengas Stylist Niharika Tandon says she's seen several brides get opaque dupattas to replace the net ones that came with their outfit. "They feel that since the lehenga starts below their belly, and they don't have a toned tummy, the net will reveal too much. As a result, they end up with something too covered," she explains. Enter Sabyasachi, with a simple trick that can work wonders - a higher waist. "It's only a couple of inches higher, but makes such a difference in how your body looks, not to mention the confidence that gives you. It's the best slimming trick for a bride," says the stylist.
