As the year 2022 arrives at our doorstep, everyone is hopeful for a fresh start which allows them to celebrate without a thought. However, as much as we want this vision to become a reality, the pandemic continues to persist and will not cease to exist at the stroke of midnight which, in turn, suggests that small weddings will continue throughout coming months. But with every cloud comes a silver lining and with the recent breakthrough on the vaccine front, things are perking up again with people gaining the confidence to plan bigger destination weddings to celebrate their love. And, to help you plan and execute the perfect wedding in the upcoming year, we’ve done the legwork for you by compiling a list of top festive trends for the new year. Read on:

Dupatta dearest

As the fashion fraternity is taking the festive fashion game a notch higher by infusing new trends or updating older ones, we've got yet another fad for you. Ringing in this time are organza dupattas. Dupattas, making up for an essential garment in a Pakistani girl’s festive ensemble, should undoubtedly be stylish. And these dupattas are not your average ones but, are breathtakingly exquisite and new!

Velvet wonderland

An MVP in almost every wedding wardrobe, the lehenga is the trustiest staple for festive occasions. However, for winter weddings, if one fashion trend that would forever stand out as a classic, luxe and rich, it’d be nothing but the classic velvet lehenga. And, the ace of luxurious fashion fad has made a grand comeback for more glory, this season.

Timeless anarkali

A truly timeless ensemble, an anarkali suit is graceful and stylish. Perfect for any occasion, this women’s suit can work wonders when styled right. No wonder, the Pakistani entertainment fraternity are routinely seen in an array of these. Whether it’s shaadi, engagement, or just a small family occasion, investing in an ornate anarkali set can be the best sartorial decision you make this festive season.

Orange is the new red

“The bride chose red”, has been a statement that not many millennial brides like to stick to. Pakistani brides have slowly adapted to the idea of lighter colour lehengas, pastel hues, multi-colour lehengas and even lilacs and oranges. However, the lure of orange lehengas can never diminish in the effervescent desi weddings. Instead, a bright colour like orange lifts the bridal demeanor – big time.
