Inspirational photoshoots and colour swatches are great, but a good bridal mood board isn’t complete without juicy real-life references. Sourcing images from pop-culture past is a great way to distill details and aesthetics that reflect your style, without accidentally hitching yourself to a fleeting bridal trend’s bandwagon. What’s more, mood boards become a lot more useful when they tell a story, and iconic wedding pictures are worth far more than a thousand words.

Lucky for every bride-to-be today there’s a wealth of inspiration just waiting to be plucked from the runways and big designer labels. Here, we present you the most stunning bridal wear to get inspired for your bridal style. We see a lot of brides every day and damn, they never fail to surprise us!

Whether it’s an offbeat lehenga colour, showcasing their love towards banarasi fabric or wearing a shawl instead of a second dupatta – every bride wants her bridal look to be unique, and classy. The modern bride today has options beyond the traditional reds and pinks, and experiment when given a chance on their D-day. The first time when we saw a bride wearing a white lehenga, the lehenga game was taken to a whole new level. The grace of an Ivory/white lehenga is charismatic and we couldn’t stop falling in love with it. The colour is ideal for a bride who wants a dreamy look and that too without a splash of colours. You can also combine an Ivory or white lehenga with lots of golden or silver embroideries and embellishments to add some sparkle to it.
