Customized Sarees, Salwar Kameez and Lehenga Cholis – A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Inspite of the changing times, we still have a deep rooted attachment to our traditions that we cannot let go of. Even in these modern times, no matter what a girl might wear otherwise, the wedding day is reserved for ethnic wear for nothing can beat the beauty of a well designed and embellished lehenga choli. Lehengas are usually designed in eye catching colors such as red, golden, maroon etc. However, modern designers have moved away from conventional colors and are now experimenting with alternative hues like aqua, silver, lavender etc. The unconventional color palette helps in giving the modern bride a unique look on her special day. The latest trend is in customized lehengas. The style and cut can be changed s per your wishes which in turn gives you the perfect fit. And, along with the lehenga and choli, there is also the dupatta which is a part of the entire ensemble. Along with your lehenga, you can get your cholis and your dupatta custom made too.
The advantage of customized lehengas is that it lets you create your signature style statement. Instead of a regular pleated lehenga, you can decide on one which has a fish cut silhouette, an A line cut or even a slit up one side. Whatever your choice, it will be delivered to you via the multitude of exporters who sell designer lehengas online. As far as the blouse is concerned, a customized blouse is the simplest option. Take your pick from puffed sleeves, low backs, string backs, knots and much more. A lot of designers allow experimenting with dupattas too. Designer dupattas can range from choosing special fabrics such as crushed dupattas to customized lengths depending on what you want. The days when brides had to be satisfied with anything that was available are now gone. The modern bride wants to be the center of attention on her wedding day.
Just having sarees or lehengas is not enough. A newly wed bride needs salwar kameezes too and the fashion conscious bride of today doesn’t settle for anything less than a designer salwar kameez. The trends in salwar kameezes change very frequently. What is in today becomes outdated tomorrow. Keeping this in mind a bride needs to research the latest styles in salwar kameezes before making her purchases. A trendy frock type kurta with a fitted churidar always looks nice. The anarkali style salwar kameez, which is fitted in the chest and then flows out from the waist is also very in right now. In case you are planning a vacation immediately after the wedding, buying western cut salwars that are off-shouldered make a lot of sense. These can be paired with a stole or a scarf like dupatta.
But, be it a custom made lehenga, an ethnic Sarees or a chic salwar kameez, a bride’s wardrobe is incomplete without appropriate accessories. The latest online craze is all centered around women’s accessories. The hottest designs in earrings, pendants and rings are all the rage. Pair your jewelry to complement your outfit and see the compliments flow in. But, be sure to match them well because you wouldn’t want to look like a fashion disaster on your big day.
In eastern countries the culture and traditions of the country is reflected in their clothes. The manner and mode of dressing is dependent on the cultural commitments of the country. In fact, ethnic clothes are a major part of the age old cultural system. However, a shift is very noticeable these days when the western influence is predominant. The dress code has undergone several significant changes under the western influence leading to a cultural amalgamation. This cultural merger has led to a fashion divergence and the result is a trendy blend of the modern and traditional.
The western look with eastern aesthetics has gained much popularity and is followed in Indian and Islamic clothing too.
What really makes you stand out on your wedding day is a well tailored designer lehenga. Made of lush fabrics such as tissue, net, silk or georgette, they are the perfect choice. Good colors for party wear include pink, sea green, aqua blue, ivory and cream with light embellishments using sequins and stones. However, for a wedding it is better to opt for a richer design with intricate embroidery heavy trimmings and elaborate patterns done with kiunadn, zardozi, crystals and sequins. Wedding lehengas are designed to sparkle and give a glittering look that looks gorgeous. Other than lehenga cholis, a lot of women choose sarees too. A traditional bridal saree not only looks amazing, it also has unmatched ethnic beauty. The most commonly preferred bridal sarees are the pure bandheja sarees as they have the required rich look needed for a wedding. The gota and zari designs of bandheja sarees give a lavish look on the day of the wedding. Another preference seen these days is embroidered sarees. In fact, when t comes to grandeur, nothing can beat the look of a heavily worked brocade saree.
