Today's well-travelled and style-savvy brides and their entourage of bridesmaids just want to have fun. Yes, they are rooted in tradition yet don't shy away from going for a little adventure and introducing fun new elements to their bridal look. Gen Z brides are more open to experimenting, seeking a contemporary aesthetic for their big day. Over the last couple of seasons, it's been hard to overlook the presence of itsy-bitsy bralettes, structured corsets and hourglass lehenga skirts in the ever-evolving bridal couture space. Designers Tarun Tahiliani, Manish Malhotra, Falguni and Shane Peacock and Rimzim Dadu have crafted playful and statement-making East meets West ensembles which allow today's fun-loving bride to embrace tradition while incorporating a modern twist. For young brides and their families keen to get on board this trend, it promises to not just elevate their overall appearance but also make a bold style statement.
Corsets & bralettes are the new cholis
The corset has always been a signature piece in Tahiliani’s bridal collections. Actor and Gen Z style icon Janhvi Kapoor was recently seen in a beaded corset styled with a mermaid-style skirt at the Ambani wedding. "The corset can be styled with a saree, lehenga, wide pants, jeans, or even under a jacket. To me, this is true sustainability—investing in something you love and can be worn in multiple ways, over and over again," says Tahiliani.
Today's brides want to use their wedding wear beyond the big day; they don’t want to lock it away. The corset is a perfect piece to help break down an exquisite wedding ensemble into separates that can be loved and re-loved for years to come.
