Godha director Basil Joseph entered wedlock with Elizabeth Samuel on 17th August 2017. The wedding ceremony was held at St. Mary's Jacobite Church, Sulthan Bathery as per Christian traditional marriage style.
The couple fell in love during their engineering days at the CET College, Thiruvananthapuram. Elizabeths is currently working as a program manager at Teach For India. The couple had got engaged in Kottayam on July 31 and the event was attended by a few close friends and family, including some celebrities from the entertainment industry.

South Indian Actress Priyamani is going to marry her long time boyfriend Mustufa Raj.
Priyamani got engaged to Musthafa Raj three months back and their marriage has been fixed on Aug 23rd.
Mustufa runs an event management company and doing some business based in Mumbai.
The wedding is expected to be a register marriage and a simple and private one just like her engagement ceremony was.
The European country Belgium has mainly Dutch, French and German speaking people. So the traditions, customs and rituals of these ethnic groups are reflected in the wedding traditions of this country.
Though the couple choose their life partners themselves and go through dating and proposal, they make it a point to keep their families in the loop. So an engagement ceremony is held by the two families jointly to celebrate the occasion.
Like in Belarus, the couple needs to hold a civil ceremony, like in a local city hall, to get their union official recognition. The ceremony also includes ring exchange and wedding vows. You can't add your personal vows into the civil wedding. You need to say vows like each spouse will have the right to pursue a career without the permission of the other and the place of residence of the couple will be determined by mutual consent etc… Some couple also holds a traditional church wedding later.
A Belgian bride traditionally carries two single flowers with her on the wedding day. After walking up the aisle she would give one flower to her own mother and embrace her and after the ceremony the other flower will be presented to the new mother-in-law. This is a custom to show the new bride's acceptance into her husband's family.
The bride may also carry a handkerchief with her name embroidered on it. After the wedding, this handkerchief is framed and hung on the wall in her new home. This wedding handkerchief will be passed down from generation to generation.
After the ceremony there will be a champagne reception, where every guest toast the new couple. Unlike in other cultures, a guest may not be invited to all the functions. Only some, like the immediate family and friends, may be invited to the wedding feast.
After the cake cutting, the couple would sing a song Le Connemara, after which the guest would wave their handkerchiefs or napkins along with the couple.
Later they will organise a wedding reception where lot of singing and dancing may be involved. The invited guests will also take part in the wedding dinner.
Basil Joseph, the Godha fame director got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Samuel aka Eli. The young couple got engaged in a private ceremony on Monday, July 31.
The engagement ceremony was held at bride's hometown Kottayam. Basil Joseph and Elizabeth Samuel will enter the wedlock which will be held at Sulthan Bathery, on August 17.

She has also won several accolades in a variety of art forms, including Kathakali, classical music, mono act and Odissi dance.

Gowns are a big hit among new generation brides. Breaking the religious barriers gowns have become an important part of most of the brides. While the Christian brides usually wear it for their main wedding ceremony, the non-Christian brides wear it for their wedding reception.
If you look around one of the major drawbacks is that there are hardly any shop that caters to the need of plus-size brides.
There seems to be a misconception among the plus size women that gowns won't look good on them. Trust us it is totally a myth that has been fanned by our blind belief that you need to be tall and slender to be considered beautiful. While fashion weeks are a great place to find some interesting designs and silhouettes, the designers hardly select a 'real-world' woman than the tall wafer-thin models to showcase their dresses.
Another great place to get inspiration is the internet, but they also prefer slender models. So basically these factors have contributed heavily on the scarcity of finding gowns for plus-sized brides.
So if you belong to this category and have the misconception that you can't wear a pretty gown to your wedding, then don't lose hope because we are here to help you.
First, pick a shop that specializes in wedding gowns as there you will have a better chance to find a dress that sets well with your body. The usual stores won't have anything special to offer other than the boring cuts and styles.
Don't settle for the first thing you found at a shop. Spend some time there to find your perfect gown.
Also, make a point to select someone who you know is not biased in their opinion. It means don't take your evil relatives who find pleasure in torturing you. As opinions do matter while selecting a gown so make sure that the person accompanying you will give their honest opinion on the dress.
While on shopping wear the undergarments that don't spoil your curves. If you are planning to wear any shapewear under your gown on the wedding day then wear it while you are out for shopping. Some gowns may even have an inbuilt corset to get the desired shape while some won't come with it.
Don't forget to wear your wedding shoes or if you haven't got one yet then wear heels before you try the dresses.
Look for a dress that has a waistline that would come right below your bust line. This will be helpful if you don't have a well-defined waist and the flowing skirt would camouflage your large hips and tummy.
Full A-line gowns with a flowing skirt will be flattering for your body type. A skirt with asymmetrical hemline will also be great as it would create an illusion of height.
Even a dropped waist gown will look good on you if you keep the flare of the skirt to a minimal. Pick a dress with an open neckline such as v-necks, sweetheart and scoop necklines.
Stay away from ballgowns as it will add more layers around you and the same with the mermaid and sheath gowns. Avoid thin fabrics such as silk or chiffon; instead wear taffeta, organza, and lace.
However great the event, the stage, the venue or the crowd, a wedding traditionally sounds great only if the feast is good, tasty and served with professionalism. A bad food can spoil the entire effects of the weeding, however grand the rest of the arrangements are. So choosing the caterer is the most important part of any wedding.

A traditional Gujarati wedding is a right mix of rituals, eye-popping colours, music and the rich culture of the state. A Gujarati wedding has got a number of pre-weddings and post-wedding functionsWell, this is not about the rituals of a Gujarati wedding but about the beautiful Gujarati bridal look.
Traditionally Gujarati bride wears an ethnic saree that is draped in the state's own style. 'Panetar and gharchola' are traditional sarees of the Gujarati brides. Panetar, a white silk saree with red and gold zari border, is a gifted to the bride by the maternal uncle while gharchola, woven using silk and zari threads with bandhani work, is gifted to her by the in-laws. Usually, the bride will wear the panetar at the beginning of the ceremony and will wear the gharchola at the end of the ceremony. The red or green gharchola saree is embellished with floral and animal motifs.
Gujarat's centuries-old tie-dye techniques are visible in both these sarees. They are decorated with mirrors and have unique weaving techniques. The panetar saree is not plain the white body will have linear stripes or sometimes golden checks.
The Gujarati saree drape is quite different from the traditional saree drape we are used to. The pallu which is draped over the right shoulder is pleated and fixed to the left hip. Though many brides are opting for designer lehengas and other more global bridal wear many ladies still prefer to stick to their roots and wear the panetar and gharchola in a traditional way.
The bride will wear gold jewellery that will include ornaments in precious metal and kundan pieces. The usual jewellery pieces are large choker type necklaces, long gold chains, chandelier earrings, maatha patti, toe and finger rings and an elaborate nose ring or nath is a must for a Gujarati bride. The arms will be adorned with a mix of gold and glass bangles. Gujarati brides also love to wear an armlet around their forearm.Placing a dupatta over the head completes the Gujarati bridal look.
Maang tikkas are important bridal jewellery that is used to adorn the forehead. In fact, it can be called as a beautiful and essential bridal hair accessory. But maang tikkas are not the only kind of hair accessory that a bride wears to adorn her hair. There are variant forms of jewellery that you could wear to adorn your hair and one such ornament is paasa or jhoomer.
Passa or jhoomar is also a kind of hair accessory that instead of adorning the forehead dangles from the side of the forehead. It could give the bride a totally different but charming look.
Jhoomar or paasa has got a regal look and makes the bride look like a stunning princess. It would give you a vintage look.
Paasa is a traditional piece of jewellery and like the haath phools, it also made its entry into the Indian brides' jewellery box from Persia during the Mughal period.
Earlier, only the Muslim brides used to wear paasa or jhoomar because of its Mughal-Persian connection; but nowadays many Hindu brides are opting for it instead of the maang tikka or sometimes pair the paasa with the maang tikka.
As the Hindu and Muslim brides use maang tikkas or paasas to adorn their hair the Christian brides wear stunning tiaras to give themselves a royal look.
Here are some stylish jhoomars or paasas for you to get inspired.
The wedding industry is growing at an unprecedented rate. Earlier, the wedding video means shooting the wedding ceremony and the guests who come to wish the newlyweds. Nowadays, it includes pre-wedding shoot, pre-wedding functions, wedding day and even post-wedding shoot that would remind you of a motion picture.
The latest to the list is a single shot video of a pre-wedding function that has been successfully created by Magic Motion Media based in Kochi. The video is of the Haldi ceremony of a pretty bride Dalia and what makes it special is that it is done in a single shot without any cuts or editing. According to its makers, it is the first such wedding video created so far.
The 3.44-minute video features the bride along with her family matching steps to a peppy Hindi song. The bride and the family's costume and the whole atmosphere are based on a white and yellow colour theme. The video which was first published by Magic Motion Media has become a craze among internet users and has so far got many viewers, shares and fans.

Indian weddings are a perfect opportunity to showcase your jewellery collection. You don't need to be the bride to deck up yourself in the finest and envy evoking designs.
One such trendy and spectacular piece of jewellery that would elevate your style quotient is 'haath phool' or hand chain.
While the exact translation of haath phool is hand flower, it is basically a single or a group of chains that are attached from a bangle or bracelet to four finger rings. This beautiful piece of jewellery reached the Indian brides from their Persian counterparts. It was an important accessory of the women at the Mughal courts. Initially, it was mainly worn by North Indian and Pakistani brides, nowadays it has received a pan-India appeal.
Though this single piece of jewellery is mainly preferred by brides, there are no written rules like you can't wear it to look trendy and stylish. To look stunning without overshadowing the bride, leave the elaborate pieces to the bride and select something simple yet trendy.
For the brides, there are many varieties that include those made in precious metals such as gold with elaborate designs pearls and precious stones.
They are still available in its original Persian and Mughal designs and those with the later Rajput influences such as kundan and polki designs. They are also available in platinum. They will be best suited to the brides. So don't bother about these designs and select something simple but unique. You can pick one from the party wear section.
Here are some inspiring designs that would help you to look glam at any wedding.
Indian brides love to accessorise their looks and decorating hands and feet with elaborate henna/mehendi designs is a must for them. Gone are the days that the bride's sister or cousin put minimal designs on the bride's hands. Nowadays, mehendi ceremony is an important pre-wedding event which is celebrated in a big way.
Meet Nowfee Shameer, a Kochi-based mehendi artist who with her professional skills and dedication has created many stunning henna designs that have adorned the hands and feet of numerous brides.
Nowfee started her journey by applying beautiful designs at her friends and relatives' weddings as her clientele list started to swollen she decided to learn the art of mehendi designing professionally and there has been no looking back for her since then.
She has years of experience and a long list of satisfied clients to prove her success story.
For years she has been working along with many prominent event/wedding planners and makeup artists, including Impresario, Tamarind Weddings, Ergo Consulting, Sobha Kunjan, Lakme etc. Even though being a professional henna artist, her quest for bettering her skills is still on and she recently attended a 10 days mehendi design workshop at Mumbai which helped her learn the latest trends and techniques in floral designs.
Earlier, when she started Arabic designs were the hot favourite among the brides, but it has been now replaced by traditional Indian designs, motifs and floral designs. It is not only the brides who have been mesmerised by her artistic skills even the wedding guests stand in line patiently to adorn their hands with the amazing designs Nowfee creates.
Being a through professional she also makes sure that her clients won't fall victims to skin allergies or rashes that certain type of chemicals present in the ready to use mehndi cause. To solve the problem she uses only herbal mehendi cones that are prepared at home.
No modern wedding is complete without an emcee or the master of ceremony. Emcees are an important element of organising a wonderful wedding reception.
Many wedding planners themselves provide professional emcees while organising a wedding, but those who are on a budget may find it difficult to employ a professional. You need to realise an important point that there is no strict rule that only a professional could be the master of ceremony.
You could ask someone from your family to take the role. It could be either a brother, sister or even your best friend. The only qualification required is that the person must be smart, lively and articulate.
A relative or the best friend will be a better option than a professional stranger as the person would know you and your family very well. That will help the emcee to connect well with the newlyweds and the guests.
They could bring an element of emotions to the ceremony by sharing a childhood anecdote of the bride or the groom and could ensure the participation of the rest of the family thus organise the event accordingly.
They will know you and your families’ preferences and thus give a personal touch to the event.
As you are the one who is taking the function forward you should have a detailed knowledge of the plan prepared for the smooth conduct of the event. You should know when and at what point of the function you need to appear and who all should be on the stage at what point of the event.
Don't forget to encourage and congratulate the participants. Keep the guests entertained, don't turn the event your chance to show you rhetoric skills as people are there for a wedding reception not to listen to your speech.
Make the function lively with your charm and energy; you could thus give the professional emcees a run for their money.

Weddings can be really stressful not just on the organisers, the bride too will have her share of worries and problems. So there are chances of you facing many tricky situations on your wedding day.
Don't worry these emergency tips will help you to get out if you find yourself in one such situation
Long nails are an added attraction to your beautiful fingers, but they can sometimes cause emergency situations. If one of your beautifully manicured fingernails is chipped, instead of worrying follow this instruction to fix it immediately.
Cut a piece of material out of a tea bag or handkerchief linen. The strip should be enough to cover the broken area. Apply super glue on the broken area and fix the strip of material on it using a small brush. Make sure that the tip of the material is fixed to the underside of the nail.
After the glue dries trim the surface of the nail and the strip using a buffer stone. After this procedure apply a top coat of nail polish on top of this. It will act as a layer of protection to the layer. As it dries apply your favourite nail polish on it.
If zits are your problem then there is also a solution to it. Dip two clean cotton swabs in hot water and apply it on the problem area it is a better and hygienic way to squeeze out the pus from the zit. Wash your face using a mild face wash and ask your makeup artist to cover the area using foundation.
Thick eyelashes will give a definition to your eyes, to attain the look many brides use false lashes on their wedding day. But if not applied properly your false lashes could get you into trouble on the wedding day. So be ready to counter such a situation. To counter it ask your bestie to take a cotton swab stick and place some eyelash glue on it and apply it on the area (probably the end corners) which has detached and push it down so it sticks to the skin properly.
If you are worrying from chapped lips on your wedding day then before applying lipstick put a good amount of cold cream over your lips and start scrubbing with a soft toothbrush to remove the dry skin. Apply the lipstick after this procedure.
Coordinating outfits of bride and groom for the reception is a much-followed trend. While most couples have a tendency to wear clothes in the same colour, there are a plenty of ways you could follow this trend.
Why buy the same colour clothes when you could create a stunning look by picking up a contrasting colour.
If you are wearing a red dress then ask your beau to pick something in dark blue. The bride's red or orange dress will look great if the groom wears beige, cream and peach. Hot pink can be matched with beige, cream, mint green, pastel pink or dark blue.
If it is pastel pink you prefer then ask your man to find an outfit in beige, cream, mint green or grey. Your deep blue or green could be matched with cream, beige, or pale blue or green.
Red is not the only colour that goes well with dark blue. Beige, cream and pastel pink will also look great with it. Gold will find a perfect partner in cream, beige and maroon.
Bride's bright yellow can be matched with mint, blush pink, baby blue, peach, ash grey and white.
Another option is to pick a certain colour or pattern from the bride's dress; for example colour of her dupatta, to get inspiration for the groom's wear. If the bridal wear is in multicolour then pick a less visible colour from it for the groom to make it less jarring.
To give it a fresh look the groom could pick the bride's colour in his accessories instead of his outfit. Use the bride's outfit colour on your pocket square. If it is a sherwani the groom wearing then he should pick a dupatta in the bride's outfit shades.

Long nails are an added attraction to your beautiful fingers, but they can sometimes cause emergency situations. If one of your beautifully manicured fingernails is chipped, instead of worrying follow this instruction to fix it immediately.
Cut a piece of material out of a tea bag or handkerchief linen. The strip should be enough to cover the broken area. Apply super glue on the broken area and fix the strip of material on it using a small brush. Make sure that the tip of the material is fixed to the underside of the nail.
After the glue dries trim the surface of the nail and the strip using a buffer stone. After this procedure apply a top coat of nail polish on top of this. It will act as a layer of protection to the layer. As it dries apply your favourite nail polish on it.
If zits are your problem then there is also a solution to it. Dip two clean cotton swabs in hot water and apply it on the problem area it is a better and hygienic way to squeeze out the pus from the zit. Wash your face using a mild face wash and ask your makeup artist to cover the area using foundation.

Every bride wants to look good on their wedding day. It could be one of the reasons which make the brides experiment numerous beauty treatments in the days that lead to the wedding.
Do you know that some of these pre-wedding beauty treatments could, in fact, create trouble for you on the wedding day? There is no need to panic; we didn't mean that all these treatments are bad. Many of these treatments, indeed, boost the bride's self-confidence in a big way.
The problem is while you go for some of these treatments when there are hardly any days left to the wedding. We will introduce you to such certain treatments which should be avoided if your wedding day is very near.
Chemical peeling helps to remove the dead cells from your face and it lightens dark patches and reduces wrinkles. But this treatment could create temporary dryness to your skin and that could lead to flaky skin and sometimes severe itchiness. Due to its risk factors, brides are not advised to go through this treatment unless they have enough time in hand. It should be done at least two to three weeks before the wedding.
Botox injections are great to look good, but it also has adverse effects. Usually, botox would help to give your skin and facial features a more plump and refreshing look, but as it can cause certain short-term problems to your skin the brides are not advised to go through it.
Other major beauty treatments which should be avoided include, removing the thicker and uneven outer layer of the skin, lip plumping (for that sexy pout), and many cosmetic surgeries such as rhinoplasty, dimple creation etc...
Wedding shopping is not an easy task not just that it eats a lot of time from your wedding planning, and it is also quite expensive. Pretty looking wedding lehengas are very expensive, but it has become a trend among most brides to have dream-like wedding attire.
But if you are not able to have a princess-like lehenga then don't worry you could give it a stunning look just by adding a lot of layers to it. For that, you could use a lot of frill net to add a lot of layers under your lehenga. Cancan is the perfect fabric for this purpose.
You can use crushed net skirts or add a detachable extension to your normal lehenga to create the volume. That way after your own wedding you don't have to let it eat dust for the rest of life; you could use it at another occasion, including someone else's wedding.
It is up to you to decide how much flare you want to add to your lehenga, but remember to do a sitting test before finalising the number of layers. You should be comfortable in the dress that is the most important thing. So before fixing on the number of layers, wear the lehenga with the skirt and see whether you could sit down comfortably.
Once you put on the lehenga with the added layers on your wedding day ask your friend to fluff the net to give it full looking flares.
Kerala government is planning to make weddings conducted in the state as green as possible.
To popularise eco-friendly weddings the state government has started discussions with various religious and social organisations.
The eco-friendly wedding plan will be implemented with the support of local bodies and the Suchitwa Mission will also be a part of the plan.
People will be given awareness and classes to make them realise the impact of such large scale plastic usage during weddings on the environment.
Though initially, the awareness programmes will be focussing on wedding parties gradually festivals, including Iftar parties would also come under the programme.
More and more innovations are introduced to wedding cards these days. While many youths are not showing any hesitation to spend a fortune on the wedding cards with extravagant additions, a man from Jhalawar district of Rajasthan has used his wedding invitation card to spread the NDA Government's 'Swachh Bharat' (clean India) campaign.
Instead of the religious slogans and pictures, the card has got the campaign slogans and logo.
The invitation card for the wedding which will be held on April 29 had the slogans from the Swachh Bharat Mission that encourages people to keep their environment clean and construct toilets at home and the campaign logo. Add the cleanliness message on the wedding card was the uncle of the groom's idea who is a panchayat official.
Earlier in the month, Akash Jain from Bengaluru had tweeted the wedding invite of his sister with the Swachh Bharat logo on it. Later the tweet reached Prime Minister Narendra Modi who not only retweeted Jain's tweet but also started to follow him on Twitter.
Jewellery is an important accessory for every Indian bride. But there is a wide range of jewellery options available around us that there are lots of chances that we may pick the wrong type.
Follow these useful tips if you don't want to regret picking up the wrong piece of jewellery.
The main and foremost element to consider while shopping for anything is the budget. Consider the amount you are planning to spend on the wedding jewellery. There is no definite rule like you should buy all your wedding jewellery from a single jeweller.
Don't rush on buying jewellery, take your time and check with various sources before zeroing in on a particular jeweller. You need to have a clear idea of the kind of jewellery you are planning to pair with your wedding attire.
If you are wearing a heavy brocade saree then it will look fabulous if paired with antique temple jewellery. But the same antique pieces may not look perfect with a designer type saree. So consider your attire while deciding on ornaments.
As we said there are no rules such as you need to buy all the ornaments from the same jeweller and that too on the same day. So take time and check out all available pieces at the jewellery that will go with your wedding attire and of course budget.
There are also chances that some particular jewellers may be frisking money out of you in the name of making charges so ask around and find out the place where you don't lose much money in the name of the making charge.
Another point to consider is on deciding whether to buy an ornament with precious or semi-precious jewellery or without it. Diamonds will sparkle more when set in white gold than the yellow gold, but if you are buying a white gold diamond set then your wedding attire should have less zari work.
If your budget doesn't allow you to choose ornaments with precious stones then you can opt for semi-precious stones like amber, amethyst, quartz, azurite etc... They will sure give your ornaments a grand look but won't put a hole in your pocket like the precious stone jewellery.
Check out the stunning latest trends in bridal wear that were showcased at the recently concluded New York Bridal Fashion Week.
The three-day event which was held from April 22 to 24th at the Studio 450, had creations from many prominent designers from all over the country.
Some of the most memorable creations had timeless silhouettes, cascading French Chantilly laces, clouds of ivory chiffon, delicate motifs and trains of superior tulle.
Here is a round-up of some of the most stunning creations that were showcased at the fashion week.
The temperature is rising and there is no respite from the scorching sun. If you are getting married or attending a wedding this summer here are some tips to look stylish despite the heat.
It is really difficult to carry heavy fabrics and makeup during the summer and cotton is our favourite fabric to fight the summer heat, but we can't ask the bride to wear something in cotton to her own wedding.
So the better option for a South Indian bride is to select a lightweight silk saree in soothing colours or a bright pop shade which has less bling. Pair these sarees with chain and pendant type jewellery instead of heavy chokers. The light and elegant looking jewellery instead of the heavy chokers will give you a classic look.
If you prefer a lehenga over the wedding saree then again keep in mind to select a light weight fabric. It will help your skin to breath and give you respite from the heat. The jewellery tip for the saree also applies to the lehenga.
If you are a summer wedding guest you have got many more options as you could wear anything in cotton, unlike the bride who needs to keep things on a grand scale.
Other breathable fabrics are chiffon, georgette and light silks. You could match your cotton salwar or shirt-skirt combination with an embellished silk dupatta which would alleviate your whole look without compromising on comfort. A single piece of stunning jewellery will give you stylish at the same time classic look. Choose dhoti pants or palazzos instead of leggings.
If you are wearing a saree then pick a creation in cotton, khadi, georgette or chiffon with floral prints that will go well with the summer fashion look.
Also, remember to keep your makeup light if you don't want deal with a meltdown mid function. The humidity will wreck havoc if you don't keep the makeup light. Before putting on makeup don’t forget to splash your face with cold water.
It is better to keep your hair in a neat pony, or in braided buns as blow drys and flat irons will definitely fizzle when put against the heat and humidity. So if you want to keep your hair picture ready it is best to keep it in a nice updo.
Being an Indian bride is no easy task, it comes with a price. Most Indian brides love to look resplendent on their wedding day. The outfits will be usually heavy and so does the traditional ornaments.
As you could deal with heavy necklaces and bangles without much trouble the real problem is to carry the heavy earrings which could be anything from traditional antique 'jhumkas' to the dangling heavy 'chaandabalis'.
That may be one reason most of the brides accessorise their ear further with the supporting chains that are pinned to the hair. It would act as an accessory as well as a source of relief to the searing pain which comes from using heavy earrings.
If you are wearing a heavy earring for your wedding sans these chains make sure that you wear an ear lobe patch to ease the pain that accompanies it. If you could still feel the strain, use a medical numbing cream to ease the pain.
Another advice we have for you is to stick to gold jewellery for your wedding as the costume jewellery could add further damages such as allergy and irritation.
It is not just the earrings that cause troubles to the brides, the traditional 'chooda' ( it is a set of 21 red and white bangles which symbolises that a woman is newly married) which are part of wedding rituals for a North Indian bride also causes trouble.
As there is a tradition that it should be removed only after 40 days of wedding you will have to keep them with yourself day and night. Other than looking a misfit with Western outfits, it would make you toss and turn during the entire night. It won't be easy for you to sleep on your side while keeping your head over your hand.
Another thing, you will have to deal with are the bangle imprints that you will have on your face and the hands. Well, there is not much an easy solution to solve this problem, especially if you are a bride who loves to stick to tradition.
What could be done to solve the problem of constant noise in the night is to cover your hands in soft muslin cloth before you go to bed. It would help to reduce the noise and the bangle imprints on your face.

Lehengas undoubtedly give the bride a royal look. It is one of the most favoured outfits of the Indian brides. Though it is more popular in the Northern part of the country as a bridal outfit, most of the Indian brides love to make at least one lehenga a part of their bridal trousseau. The brides who prefer to wear saree for the weddings usually pick the lehenga as their reception outfit.
As most of the outfits, the bridal lehengas also have been going through years of evolution and fashion updates. Over the years it has become more and more fashionable than its basic ethnic look.
Let us check some of the latest trends in the bridal lehengas.
Cut-out shoulders
The cut-out shoulder tops and blouses have become a craze among the millennial fashionistas. Then, why not we apply this trend to the bridal lehenga fashion too? Pair your heavy lehenga choli with a plain cut-out shoulder blouse or top.
Long train
You may be familiar with the long trail of a western gown, nowadays the same look is being experienced with the bridal lehengas. It will add a much elegant and royal look to the bridal lehenga. With it, you could have your gown moment without compromising on your traditional look.
Peplum blouse
It is another import to the ethnic world from the West. The peplum blouse will give your lehenga choli a much poised and graceful look. It will look great on the brides who want to attract attention to their slender waist. It is also a great way to hide the flaws of your figure. But those who have too much extra inch around their waist please stay away from it.
Anarkali lehenga
This fusion trend will give you an alluring look. To get this look right you will have to sew your embellished lehenga choli to the long flared skirt. To get a more dramatic look you could also add a transparent material to the bottom of the choli and then sew it to the skirt.
Capes
This trend has got two versions - with cape sleeves and with off-shoulder capes. As the cape itself serves as a dupatta, you don't need to use a separate dupatta with this look. Some lehengas have detachable capes which would help you to repeat the outfit at another wedding.
