Adding a twist to tradition

EVERY bride wants to be picture-perfect on her wedding day. Exquisite jewellery, vibrant colours and attire are all part of the ritual. Mohey, a couture wedding brand in India, put together its bridal trends for 2022:

◆ Colourful embroidery: While monochromatic lehengas are beautiful, multicoloured ones highlight the bride’s vibrant and jazzy side, making her stand out among the crowd.

The haldi and mehendi ceremonies are all about colour and intricate decor, so choose a colourful drape, skirt and lehenga to go with it. Keep it discreet with light floral accessories. ◆ Love for red and maroon: Red is one of those colours that will never go out of style. Use a combination of threadwork embroidery on red or maroon velvet lehengas with floral patterns and designs to make your bridal ensemble breathtaking.

◆ Drape a lehenga dupatta: A voluminous veil or dupatta falling down a bride’s gown is breathtaking. The dupatta emphasises the style of a bridal lehenga. For an attractive and classy look, choose a dupatta that contrasts with the lehenga or go monochrome.

◆ Shades of pink: Choosing a wedding lehenga colour is a difficult task for any bride who wants to avoid the traditional red. Go for a cheerful pink wedding lehenga. This vibrant colour looks great on all skin tones, and gives the bridal look a unique twist. These colours range from soft pastel pink to dusty pink, and are suitable for daytime and evening ceremonies.

◆ Plunging neckline: Brides are opting for a deep neckline which provides a whimsical twist and grace to traditional wedding attire while adding a hint of seduction to the traditional style. |
