I love weddings and Bollywood. These are my 2 loves. I get all misty eyed when I see a bride walking down the aisle. When it comes to weddings you can forget those insane shopping sessions and the never ending search for that perfect lehenga for your wedding.

Keep everything in budget

Typical Indian weddings can get really pricey and out of your budget. You won’t even notice how fast you spend your money. As a bridal lehenga is the highlight of the wedding and also the most important attire of your life, it should be chosen carefully. Set aside a budget for your lehenga and do not go overboard. You will be able to get the lehenga of your dream within your budget if you will search the markets enough. Do not settle for the first one you see.

Are you a summer bride or a winter bride?
Yes, seasons do matter when choosing your lehenga. You do not want to wind up all sweaty and uncomfortable in the harsh summer months or shivering in winters. Choose the fabric according to the season your marriage is in. In summers go for lighter fabrics and softer color tones in net, georgette or chiffon. In winters you can choose fabrics such as satin or velvet in darker hues.

Consider your body type

If the cut and flair of the lehenga does not suit your body type, it is not going to turn out well. So considering your body type when buying your lehenga is a must.
Ok now let me tell you what works best on which body type…

• Hour Glass: So you have that perfect figure with a defined waist and you will need to show it off in style. Choose an A-line lehenga with a short choli will work wonders for you.
• Pear-shaped: This body type has a heavier bottom and smaller busts. Choose a bridal wedding lehenga with simple and straight cuts with an embellished choli to accentuate those curves of yours.
• Petite: Do not go for very heavily embellished and elaborated lehenga as that will not go well with your tiny frame. Choose a lehenga in a stiff fabric that will add more volume to your curves with a low cut blouse.
• Top Heavy: Choose a blouse with a wide neckline in soft and sheer fabrics. You can go for flared lehenga with embellishments to keep the balance between your lower and upper body.

Your skin tone matters too

A right color can enhance your features like nothing else. So choose a color that flatters your skin tone well.
• Fair skin tone: Go for bright shades of pink or red and you can also experiment with blue in your attire. Soft colors like mint green, peach, baby pink will also suit you well.
• Wheatish skin tone: You can choose from a wide array of colors. Best option is to wear rich and warm colors in shades of orange, red, yellow, gold and brown.
• Dusky skin tone: You can choose from reds and bright greens. The color of the season, marsala will also compliment your skin tone quite well.
