If you are a bride-to-be, read on for the best bridal lehenga inspirations. Whether you are about to go for a big fat royal wedding look or just an intimate gathering of your loved ones, dressing up perfectly is essential. Becoming a bride is no less than a fairy-tale, and you surely do not want anything to mess up such a significant event. Every bridal season brings with it a ton of different kinds of inspirations. It really just depends what kind of mood board you would like.

Brides these days are all about embracing offbeat choices regarding style and designs. Experiment with some offbeat colour combinations and unique lehenga designs to make your big day even more memorable. You can explore everything from experimenting with stones in the outfits to embracing minimalism. The designers have also come up with new techniques this year in anticipation of the bridal season to align with the rising expectations of their clientele.

Gone are the days when white and black colours were considered an evil omen to wear on the days on celebration. The shift towards progressive mindsets these days means these can even be worn for your pre-wedding festivities. You can go for a stunning gown and play with silver and gold detailing, red pout, complimenting and contrasting colours, heavy accessories and so much more. A typical red lehenga can never go wrong – it is a classic for a reason. The hue will forever remain and iconic symbol for a bride as it indicates passion, love, courage, strength, and, of course, determination. If you want to go with a sure winner, opt for a blood red lehenga with rustic gold detailing.

Pastel shades are so soothing to the eyes that they are here to stay even though they might not be the first colours that come to mind when you think of bridal attires. Pastel bridals and formals have been in trend for quite some time now regardless of the season and they continue to go strong. If you want to go for something seemingly timeless, this is the way to go. The shimmery and blingy lehengas are also a statement many brides are choosing. Such looks were previously only reserved for functions other than the wedding and the reception. But these days, brides are confident enough to flaunt it. Undoubtedly, the gowns handcrafted with Swarovski crystals, pearl detailing, and sequins are a treat for the eyes.
