Weddings are as much about personal expression as they are about tradition, and a bride’s attire becomes the canvas where both worlds meet. For the bride who lives for heavy glam, rich textures, and statement-making silhouettes, these looks embody bridal grandeur in its most captivating form. From champagne tones that exude understated sophistication to deep reds rooted in heritage and multi-coloured ensembles bursting with celebratory vibrance, each creation captures a distinct mood and moment. This week, You! explores how to bring them to life with styling that elevates their impact for every occasion…
Rooted in heritage, this deep red bridal lehenga glows with gold tilla and delicate thread embroidery, framed by a lavishly embellished dupatta in true Mughal grandeur, made for a baraat steeped in tradition. The look turns dramatic with a crimson lip, smoked-out brown eyes, fluttery lashes, and luminous skin that thrives under evening lights. Kundan and ruby chokers, oversized jhumkas, a dainty teeka, and ornate rings bring regal opulence to life.
A vision in muted luxury, this champagne-gold lehenga shimmers with intricate zardozi and resham embroidery, paired with a richly worked dupatta that adds regal charm. The look is styled with pulled-back hair and layered gold jewellery including chokers, a bold maang teeka, oversized jhumkas, and chunky bangles. Makeup is kept timeless with flawless matte skin, kohl-rimmed eyes, warm peach blush, and a muted coral lip for a soft yet radiant finish.
Drenched in old-world opulence, this antique-gold lehenga dazzles with heavy gota and zardozi embroidery across the palette, while the ornate dupatta frames the silhouette with grandeur. Softly flowing hair contrasts the richness of the ensemble, paired with striking jewellery such as a kundan choker with emerald hints, a statement nath, jhumkas, and a teeka. The makeup is luminous with dewy skin, softly smoked eyes, and a nude pink pout, letting the gold tones shine in all their glory.
Alive with festivity, this fuchsia, orange, and turquoise lehenga captures pure mehendi magic with gold zari embroidery and detailed choli and dupatta work, infusing it with royal charm. Bronzed glowing skin, peachy nude lips, golden shimmer eyes, and a subtle winged liner keep it fresh for outdoor celebrations. Gold chandbalis, layered beads, a statement maang teeka, and playful karay tie the look together in celebratory style.
