Don’t push traditional attire to the back of the closet. Wedding season is around the corner, and is and there are string of occasions like parties, receptions, weddings ceremonies and celebrations that are around the corner. The season demands for the ethnic wardrobe to be over utilized and we usually end up with very limited options for dressing up without compromising on the glam quotient.
Fret not! Take inspiration from the in-house designers at Ethinic Dukaan who are tweaking Indian wear for the 21st century, with edgy yet wearable results.
Floral Finesse:
For the urban bride a tint of innovation to an Indian wedding wear is done by merging statement designs with floral-printed lehenga, cholis. Floral detailing and embellishments lend a glamorous touch to the traditional ensembles. Minimal and chic, elegant and flowing, such lehengas are the choice for the new-age brides who love playing with quirky touches at their weddings.
Colour Blocked:
The rise of separates paved a natural path for experimental colour blocking as each piece picked an independent hue to compliment the other. Colour block fashion is one of the hottest new trends for the season. It combines the use of two or more blocks of colour in an ensemble.It can include monotone, bright colours, muted colors, contrasting and complimentary colors.
Blouse Basics:
Lehengas and sarees are most popular Indian wear outfits and most comfortable to wear. Also uber important are the blouses they are worn with.You can customize your wedding saree blouse with Maggam work, kundan work, zardosi work, stone work, thread embroidery etc. to create rich look. If you want your saree to grab the attention and keep the blouse simple and elegant you can try simple and stylish blouse back neck designs and elbow length sleeves with big borders etc.
Polki & Kundan Jewellery:
Polki, which are uncut diamonds and Kundan, which are gemstone work with gold foil, will rule the fashion jewellery in India. Polki and Kundan combination gives a royal look to the jewellery and would make the imitation jewellery real and classy when you wear it in family functions or wedding.
All shades of pinks:
There is a reason this colour brigade has been a favorite with Indian brides for years now. Softer shades of pink give a very subtle, mellow glow. Bolder shades such as fuchsia are perfect if you wish to make a more glamorous statement. Every season has its colour and this time it is definitely hot pink.
