It is time you have to think beyond red when it comes to bridal lehenga colours. You need to experiment with colours to get your dream bridal look. Here are a couple of gorgeous bridal lehenga pictures (not red) we found on the internet. Pick one for your dream wedding.
Be a golden girl
The colour itself will give you a regal look. If you are wearing this stunning colour then be restrained on the choice of bridal jewellery. This colour doesn't need a lot of accessories. More than the bright gold the dull gold will look great on a dusky bride.
Turn blue
Well, not literally. It is an elegant colour and the deep royal blue will go well with the Indian skin tone.
A little peachy
It would light up your face and is also a refreshing colour.
Orange is the new red
Though it has a close resemblance to the red colour, it is not exactly red. So go for it.
Pinky swear
Pink and that belongs to the family of pink is a great choice for the brides who want to look stunning on their wedding day.
Go green
Bottle green is another great colour which goes perfectly with the gold jewellery.
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.

Jewellery is one of the most important accessories for a bride, especially a traditional Indian bride. There are a wide variety of jewelleries available for an Indian bride. But would you love to wear a jewellery on the back of your blouse?
Yes, it is one of the latest trends among the Indian brides. Actually, it is a revamped trend. This trend has been introduced by the erstwhile Mughal and Rajput princess centuries ago. But it lost its teeth in the later centuries.
The trend has been reintroduced by many Hollywood stars who walked the red carpets with this style.
Well, many present generation Indian brides are experimenting with this look to make them more elegant. It would look good especially on the Indian brides because of the wider neckline of the blouse which is paired either with a saree or lehenga.
Gold and precious stones are usually used for this royal look. Either you should layer the chains in an aesthetic way or use a layered jewellery to get the look.
The ends should be pinned inside the blouse so the layers would look like a part of the design.
Pearl strings will go better with pastel coloured blouses while the rich colours preferred by Indian brides can be paired with gold.
But don't forget to put your hair in topknot bun to show off the jewellery.
So girls, embrace this reverse jewellery trend with style and pomp.

Every girl wants to look charming on her wedding day, but not all have the skills to put on perfect makeup. That is why most brides take the help of a makeup artist. A professional makeup artist could not only help to enhance your looks but also could help you hide any problem area which you want to hide.
But applying makeup doesn't mean you will have to look like a complete stranger on your wedding day. In order to avoid such a situation, you should do a trial makeup with the professional artist you are hiring a week before the wedding. It would not only help you to know how you would look on your wedding day, but also will help your makeup artist to understand your face better.
Also, you can watch the makeup tutorials on YouTube to know about more styles and trends. You can also discuss with your makeup artist about what you want on the day and whether it would suit your face.
One important thing is that if you are going for a trial makeup before your wedding then it is better to wear your wedding dress and then do the trial. So the makeup person could do your makeup that would gel with your attire.
By makeup trial, we meant full makeup trial, which also include the hairstyle. Hairstyles should be done according to your face, otherwise, it would look odd. It is difficult to pick out one such hairstyle which would suit all women to a T.
As said earlier YouTube tutorials could help you understand the hairstyles which would suit your face shape.
If you want to look stunning on your wedding day, then you should start your diet and fitness regimes months before the big day. Find out some work routines which would suit your physique. But don't exhaust your body by following all the difficult routines. If possible get the help of a trainer. You can also do simple exercises at home.
At least spend about 20 minutes a day for workouts. Or take long walks every day.
Yoga will also help you to get in shape. You can also practice meditation to ward off any stress. This would help you to refrain from turning into a bridezilla.
Eat healthy and drink lots of water. Stay away from oily food, sweets, and alcohol. Eat lots of fruits and green veggies. Trust us your skin will thank you for that. Staying calm is also very important.

Henna and Indian weddings have a very deep connection. Not only the brides love to adorn their hands with mehendi but there is a pre-wedding ceremony itself to celebrate the importance of mehendi. It is said that deeper the colour of the mehendi deeper the bond between the couple.
Deep maroon is considered as the perfect colour for the mehendi stain. If you follow these simple steps then you could keep the colour of your mehendi designs for a long period.
Usually, the mehendi is applied a couple of days before the wedding. So it is better if you could get your manicures and pedicures done before applying mehendi. Don't rush applying the mehendi, be relaxed and take the time to get the designs perfect.
Take a cup and make a solution of lemon juice, sugar and water. Apply this mixture on the mehendi using a piece of cotton once the mehendi starts to dry. This will help the paste to stick to your skin and darker the mehendi colour.
Don't wrinkle your hands once the mehendi is applied it will distort the designs and spoil the look. Avoid contact with water for quite some time. It is better to keep your henna on for at least 8 and a maximum of 12 hours.
If you have applied the mehendi in the night hours then it is better to remove it the next day. Keep your hands wrapped in a cling film to protect it from getting damaged during sleep.
Wrapping up the hands also will help to get a dark shade to the mehendi as keeping your hands warm will give it a darker shade, but make sure that the mehendi is completely dry before wrapping hands, otherwise it will spoil the design. Another way to apply heat is to heat a few cloves in a pan and run your hands carefully over the fumes of the cloves.
While removing the mehendi don't apply water, instead, remove it by gently rubbing your hands together. Once the dried mehendi paste is completely removed apply cooking oil or even Vicks will also give it a dark shade.
Avoid using soaps on the parts mehendi is applied and also avoid contact with chemicals, including shampoo and conditioner for at least 12 hours to retain the deep colour. Also, don't shave or wax your hands after mehendi is applied.
Being a stunning bride is something most of the girls want and it involves bringing a lot of elements together in a memorable way. One of these elements is the bridal fashion sense.
Fashion has gone through a lot of transformations and modifications for centuries and bridal fashion is not an exception. That is why you should not blindly follow the traditional ways as to be a stylish bride you need to push your boundaries.

So if you have already decided what type of a bride you are, then start your journey to find the perfect blouse pattern that suits your style. Here is a collection of patterns that we have assimilated for you, enjoy.
Are you getting married in the winter season? If yes then you need to take special care of your skin.
The biggest skin problems that winter brides face, especially in Indian climate, are chapped lips, dry skin and cracked heels. You need to overcome all these skin troubles to look great on your wedding day. Here are a couple of tips to look fabulous on your wedding day.

You still need to drink water to keep your skin supple. But you need to start all these weeks before the wedding as like your wedding your skin also needs time to prepare.
Choose personal care products that are more suitable to the winter season.
Rinse your skin with lots of lukewarm water at night before going to bed. Use a mild cleansing gel or cream to remove dirt.
An expert tip from Shahnaz Husain is to apply cold milk and vegetable oil mix to clean your skin.
Mix half a cup of cold milk and five drops of any vegetable oil. Store this mix in a bottle and shake well. Apply it on the face and use cotton to cleanse the face. You could keep the rest of the mix in a refrigerator. Those with normal to the dry skin could use this combination to cleanse the skin.
For those with oily skin, she recommends rice flour and curd mix. Apply this mixture and rub gently. Wash it off with water later.
Mix a teaspoon glycerin with 100 ml rose water. Keep the solution in the refrigerator. Apply it on your face occasionally it will relieve dryness and will keep acnes away. Another natural solution to keep your skin moisturised is to apply aloe vera gel and honey combination on your skin and after about 20 minutes wash it off with water.
Keep your diet in check. Include more nutrient rich foods, nuts and seeds into your diet. Fatty fishes such as tuna and salmon should be included in your diet. Avoid too much sugar and salt. Say no to aerated drinks.
Also, don't forget to relax and practice some yoga. It will definitely reflect on your skin.
A wedding veil is an important accessory for a Christian bride, but do you know how the veil became an indispensable part of the weddings.
Ancient Romans and Greeks believed that there are evil spirits who would bring bad luck to a bride. So they, in order to protect the bride from these evil spirits, made her wear veils for the wedding.
Unlike the present day brides Roman brides used to wear very long flame red colour veils, while their Greek counterparts used to wear yellow veils. They were used to scare off the evil spirits.
The tradition of the father of the bride walking her down the aisle also links to the wedding veils. As we said the veils were used to hide the bride's face from the evil spirits, it was not easy for the bride to see through these veils. So her father would lead her to the aisle so that she won't trip on anything.
They also used another method to protect the bride by surrounding her with bridesmaids to confuse these evil spirits. The bride and the bridesmaids would wear clothes in the same colour but their veils will be shorter than the bride's.
In the case of arranged marriages, in those days the parents used veils to hide the bride's face as they could avoid the embarrassment of the groom, who will be seeing the bride for the first time, rejecting her. The veil will be lifted only at the end of the ceremony.
During the medieval times, the veil became the symbol of the bride's chastity, purity, modesty, and obedience.
Even as people started to ignore these archaic customs, the wedding veil has not lost its importance. It has now become a fashion statement.
But unlike its archaic form the veils these days are available in a wide variety of fabrics that won’t cause any problem to the bride's vision. Not just fabrics, the wedding veil is now available in many styles too such as bird cage, flyaways, blush, chapel, cathedral etc...
The brides these days don't blindly follow the tradition but select veil according to the design and fit of their wedding outfit.

Flowers are a quintessential part of weddings. A bouquet is an important accessory for a Christian bride. But do you know there is not just one but many types of bouquets and a bride should select the bouquet according to her body type?
Brides usually select the wedding gown with the body type in mind, but according to experts, you should apply the same logic while selecting a bridal bouquet.
But before that, we will introduce you to the types of bridal bouquets and their names and will tell you what will suit you the best.
Cascade
As the name indicates this one resembles a waterfall and creates a dramatic and over-the-top look. This waterfall of flowers is also called shower bouquet. Mostly orchids and vines are used to create a cascade bouquet. It will gracefully flow down from a bride's hands and will give the bride a traditional look.
If you are blessed with an hourglass figure then you can carry a cascade bouquet with élan. It would complement your curves perfectly. But remember to keep your gown simple no unwanted embellishments.
Round or posy
They are created mostly using a single type of flower and are also monochromatic. Roses are used to create the round shape of the bouquet.
This type of bouquets could suit both petite and full figured or apple shaped brides. Give a fuller and large round bouquet to a petite bride. But make sure that your hips are visible from both the sides. Otherwise, it will make you look large. If you are a full figured bride try to keep the size of the posy small. But at the same time, it shouldn't be too small as it can make your hips look huge.
Presentation
It is the long stemmed version of cascade bridal bouquet which lies across the arms of the bride instead of flowing down. You can carry this type of bouquet if you have a pear-shaped body. A presentation bouquet would draw others' eyes upward and thus you can tactically conceal your larger bottom portion. The presentation bouquets are also called pageant bouquets, you can guess why.
One more piece of advice for those who have a pear-shaped body - A line skirts would help you hide the lower portion perfectly.
Nosegay
They are the shorter version of a posy and a nosegay bouquet will have a mix of the variety of flowers and are held together with a ribbon.
Nosegays will have smaller stems compared to posies. So a tall bride could carry a nosegay with elegance and style. The other bouquets, especially a cascade would add more height to your frame so stay away from them and carry a nosegay to balance your frame.
Teardrop
It is more or less like a cascade, but here the shape is much defined than a cascade. Like the cascade, those with hourglass can accessorize their fishtail shape wedding gown with a teardrop bouquet. It will also suit brides who are short and belongs to the petit group. The teardrop will create an illusion of height.
Pomander
If you wish to carry a simple bouquet then you can opt for a pomander. It is simple and classy at the same time. The flowers are arranged in a round shape like in a posy but a looped ribbon would hold the flowers together and the bride can hang it from her wrist. It is also called a kissing ball.
A pomander will suit all body shapes and any bride can easily carry it with style.
It has pockets!
You should know. If at all you need to carry your mobile phone, lippy or tissues for your runny nose, yuck!
Wedding dresses with pockets are becoming a must-have for brides. Designers these days love practical trends.
Guess you wouldn’t mind if your dress has one or two unless you want to carry a clutch on your wedding day.People no longer question the convenience of functional pockets.
It has become a style statement recently where you can give your signature hand-in-pocket pose or add a certain casual and relaxed flair. Never mind stashing in some snacks.
Pockets are ideal for fuller, pleated dresses and less so for tight fitting ones.
And the uber-cool maharanis have already made a statement with their pocket lehengas. These brides and her maids like their knick-knacks stockpiled in their pockets, thereupon a clutch is the latestto disappear.
These urban, edgy brides want to combine elegance and ease. It also offers them a great deal of comfort. You may customise or alter your wedding wear as you feel because it’s happening elsewhere the same time. Its all about your day and you should feel hassle-free and relaxed.
And, by the way, pockets for Sarees? Umm, not recommended.
Warning: Swollen pockets on your Lehengas are bad to the sight

The objective of the wedding makeup is to make the brides look their best on their special day. Every bride will feel to look beautiful and be the centre of attention on their wedding day. A perfect wedding makeup would accessorise your beautiful wedding dress perfectly.
And that is why we depend on the services of an expert makeup artist for the wedding day. But there are some important things you should keep in mind while getting your makeup done.
We will tell you about the things you should stay away from and thus help you avoid these issues.
The aim of the wedding makeup is not to get a new face but to look like yourself on the wedding day in a more polished and alluring way. Many brides get caught in the ‘getting a new face’ theory and ends up looking like a caricature of themselves.
Go for a makeup trial at least a couple of months before your wedding. Thus you may get a clear picture of how you will look on your wedding day and also could find out whether you may get any allergic reaction to any makeup products. Another possibility is to know your makeup artist's skills beforehand and if you want you could think about further options.
Never ever try something new on your wedding day. It is one of the most important things you should remember. Your makeup should be done based on your skin colour, facial features and bone structure. So whatever you do to highlight these should be based on this theory.
A particular eye makeup or lip colour may have turned your Plain Jane neighbour into a smoking hot diva on her wedding day. But you shouldn't fall for it at any cost even if it is really tempting.
That colour or makeup suited her because of her facial features, but there is no guarantee that it will suit you equally. There are also chances that it would turn into a total disaster.
If you really wish to try that particular makeup trick then we would advise you to ask your makeup artist to include it on your makeup trial day. Then you could know whether that makeup would suit your skin or not.
Another makeup disaster is following the major trends blindly. Contouring is a trend among the fashionistas these days. But it is kind of heavy makeup which is not easy to carry by all. You may even look spooky in the sunlight. So if you are getting married in the day time and is especially having an outdoor wedding then it would be a disaster. In that case keep your makeup subtle and fresh.
Try to highlight your best asset other than painting your whole face.
It is better to stay away from glitter. You will look greasy in your wedding pictures.
If you want to use false lashes then try it a couple of weeks beforehand to make sure that you are not allergic to the adhesive that is used to stick the false lashes. Always select a natural looking lashes and normal eye makeup than the dramatic ones. You can go for it if you want to end up looking like Cruella de Vil.
Always use quality products for makeup.
The aim of the foundation is to even out your skin tone and cover all the blemishes. Some people treat it as the magical thing that would help you look fairer instantly. So don't pick one which is way lighter than your skin colour. You would end up looking like a ghost.
On the wedding day, the bride will have to apply makeup before the arrival of the guests. So basically the bride will have to keep her make up to about 8 to 9 hours. By the end of the day, her face will appear tired and dried spots will be on her face, where the makeup has worn out.
Don't worry; follow these simple steps to get your makeup last longer.
The first step is to have a clean canvas to apply makeup. So as the first step wash your face and get rid of the extra oil, dirt and sebum from your face using a good cleanser. Pat dry your face gently and apply a good moisturiser on your face. Make sure that your moisturiser is oil-free and also has a good amount of SPF in it.
Let it set on your skin for a couple of minutes, after that apply a face primer which would act as a base coat on your face and keep your foundation stay perfectly. It will cover pores, blemishes, and imperfections on your skin.
Once you apply foundation on your face, use a good makeup setting spray over your foundation. It will help to lock the makeup on your face for long.
You should again apply this makeup setting spray on your face once you finish applying the makeup on your face. It will help your makeup to stay longer.
Tell one of your friends to keep an emergency makeup kit with her. So that you can do a little touch up if you find your lipstick is fading or your face needs a little compact. But don't overdo it.
One of the mistakes the brides usually make is reapplying layers of make up every couple of hours. It will make you look weird and cakey. Don't touch your face with your hands, it will transfer the oil and dirt from your hands (well we didn't mean you are unhygienic) to your face. Use a blotting sheet to wipe the excess oil without spoiling your makeup.
Stay cool and try not to get hyper as sweat can create problems to your makeup.
White is a Christian bride's must bridal colour, but other Indian brides are famous for their colourful outfits.
The ongoing India Couture Week, 2016, has brought to light a new trend among the brides - the white wedding outfits.
The top designers of India who showcased their latest wedding collections on the ramp opted for ivory, cream and white instead of the usual reds and maroons.
Designers like Anamika Khanna, Rahul Mishra and Rimple & Harpreet Narula all proved that white can be an attractive colour for the brides.
The wise use of ivory and gold combined with floral motifs gave the bridal wears a distinctive look. If you are not a big fan of a white lehenga then you can easily mix and match it with other colours.
While you go soft on the colour of your wedding attire you can easily compensate it with bold red lips or strong smokey eyes.
Heavy gold jewellery also goes perfectly with whites and creams.

North Eastern states of our country are called the paradise unexplored. Assam is one of the North Eastern states which has a rich culture and heritage.
The bridal jewellery of Assam is also based on its tribal culture and is close to the natural richness of the state. The flora and fauna of the region are highlighted in its designs and motifs.
The gold jewellery is also decorated heavily with ruby, mina, and red, black and green enamels etc...
The traditional bridal ornaments of the state include Thuriya, Muthi- kharu, Doog-dogi, Loka- paro, Kerumoni, Jonbiri, Dholbiri, Gaam- kharu, Keru, Bana, and Gal- pata.
Among them, dholbri is the dhol, a special Assamese musical drum, shaped pendant and jobiri is based on the crescent shape of the moon. Loka-paro is a pendant inspired by the shape of pigeons.
These jewelleries are usually hand-made the designs are influenced by the tribal culture of the North Eastern states. The traditional earring of an Assamese bride is called kopo phool. The ornament is like two shoes which are attached to a floral part and is connected to a chain. Another traditional earring is loka-paro, which is like twin birds that are placed together.
The bride adorns her hand with gamkharus, which are large and wide silver bangles that are later given a gold polish. Magarmuria kharu, Sancharua kharu, Bala and Gota kharu are also different types of traditional bridal bangles.
Wedding gifts are like tokens of blessings from the family and friends. It is their way of showing their love and happiness for your special day.
That is why you need to thank each of them even if they didn't provide you with any physical gifts. Thanking each and everyone who attended your wedding may not be an easy task, but it is necessary to show your gratitude as they came to be a part of your happy time and celebrations.
Sending them a thank you note may not be an easy task. But it will be a great feeling for those who receive it, as somebody took the time to write something to someone shows how much they respect the relationship. Though sending a thank you card is the best way to show that you do care, in today's busy world sending at least an SMS will bring a lot of appreciation.
You don't have to be elaborate on the thank you notes. Even if you are writing a little, write it from your heart. First thank them for the wedding gift they gave you, even if there were no gifts, tell them how wonderful it was to have them at the wedding.
As mentioned, you could either send a thank you card (the best method) or send a message, but don't forget to write something meaningful.
Another dilemma will be when to send these notes. We know that the days soon after the wedding will also be really hectic. So you should send the cards or the messages with a month or two of your wedding. Sending it in a timely manner will help the receiver to understand your appreciation and thoughtfulness.
It may not be a necessary custom in the Indian context but it is a great thing to express your gratitude towards the people who made an impact on your special day.
