A La Mode

A larger than life wedding ensemble is something that almost every woman dreams of. Contrary to western traditions, weddings in India aren’t just one day affairs. Since there are so many pre-wedding rituals which last for about a week, brides have to pick at least four to five ensembles to wear on each occasion. One can experiment with different styles of lehengas and sarees. With so many fads in bridal trousseau trends, you may be confused about what to splurge on this season. Fret not! Your favourite bridal fashion guide is here to save the day.

As we all know, a lehenga-choli set has been a traditionally popular choice for an Indian bride. However, not every modern bride settles for this type of ethnic wear. Brides these days have been trying to give a quirky touch to their bridal lehengas. To meet with the conventional bride’s needs, couturiers have revamped the simple lehenga style. The modern take on lehengas lend a delicate balance between traditional and contemporary styles that fashionable brides find irresistible. As a contemporary bride, you may want to make a statement and to match your sense of style, you may team up a designer lehenga with a crop top. The crop top and lehenga combination gives a new touch to the long-established blouse design.

The basic difference between a conventional choli and a crop top is their shape and structure. While the basic choli looks more like a brassiere, the design of a crop top is such that it covers more skin. The best part about this style is that you need not worry about a dupatta. A crop top is made such that you can look just as decent and elegant without wearing a dupatta. This provides more freedom of movement to the bride – making it easier for her to shake a leg at her wedding.
