I am sure that most of you like myself are stuck in constantly attending wedding soiree after another at this time of the year. While traditionally bling has always ruled when it comes to dressing for Indian bridal (the bride and even her friends), experimental fashionistas are also stripping off the excesses and fitting into ensembles that do not weigh 20 kilos. Although it remains to be seen in the main wedding ensem of the bride, ladies are increasingly picking minimal outfits for the lesser functions. Nothing is a taboo anymore -- be it black, neon, or the absence of blind-you-in-the-eye embellishments.
This new shift is not limited to just anarkalis or saris -- lehengas go light too this wedding season, and here we present our top choices from Pernia's Pop Up Shop to rock that mehendi, sangeet and cocktail -- those that have neo twists, yet look traditional enough.
Aniyat by Taniya O' Connor: The jacket of this lehenga set features applique work, embellished by zari and ari work. I love the fan-like gota work that accentuates the tie to the panelled skirt.
Ridhi Mehra: This raw silk lehenga embraces the much-seen European influences seen in ethnic couture shows this year. Featuring gold dori work with embellished shoulders and a minimal net dupatta, this ensemble works really well for those who have dancing feet.
SVA: The hot pink and hip-length jute kurta combined with the deep blue of the velvet underskirt lends ample Indian flavour to this lehenga set. Oversized pom pom ties, alongwith a sheer net dupatta completes the ensemble -- I say perfect for those who wish to hide a few problem areas.
Priyal Prakash: Being an ever-loving fan of polka motifs in Indian wear -- from mehendi 'golas' to mirror work -- this lehenga instantly caught my attention. Crafted out of raw silk and net featuring sequin and gota work, the vermillion red pops out beautifully against the bottle green.
Ohaila Khan: Neon does not seem to be going off the trend pages anytime soon, and this ensemble with that delicious green border caught my eye instantly. Kasab embellishments highlight the dupatta.
Anita Dongre: I am the biggest lover of Anita Dongre lehengas around I bet. Crafted in raw silk with gota patti work all over, this lehenga is also available in many other colour variations at Pernia's.
Anju Modi: Totally loving that draped tunic! Crafted in Chanderi with raw silk accents, and applique, this lehenga is definitely breezy!A part of it features block printing, finished off with resham-dori work on the hemline.
Atsu: The long choli on this lehenga is created out of lace highlighted with mint-toned sequin embroidery work. The flowy, simple net underskirt also feature minute sequin motifs. I think the mint green and peach palette is what that makes it work well.
Pernia Qureshi: Featuring embellished shoulders with pleated sleeves, the raw silk kurta in this lehenga features a cut out in the midriff. Paired with a simple flowy skirt with dull-gold borders on the hemline, and a net dupatta, I am loving how classy it gets!
