When it is your wedding, every small detail matters, especially your outfits. With almost half a dozen ceremonies lined up before your wedding day, deciding what to wear may seem like a mammoth task. One of the major confusions? How to choose suitable lehengas for the wedding and other pre-wedding events.
COMMON DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BRIDAL AND A PRE-WEDDING LEHENGA
Whether it is a traditional bridal lehenga or a playful pre-wedding lehenga, both are designed to make you feel like royalty on your special day. But there are subtle details that differentiate one from another. So, if you are also confused about how to choose a suitable lehenga for your wedding, as well as all the pre-wedding events, here are some basic points to differentiate between the two and help you make a better choice.
COLOUR: For wedding lehengas, vibrant, traditional colours such as red, maroon, green and golden are more popular. However, for daytime wedding ceremonies, a majority of brides opt for milky, pastel hues to achieve a dreamy look. For pre-wedding lehengas, most brides choose playful colours, such as orange, violet, yellow, green, and blue, as they impart a party-centric feel, suitable for all pre-wedding events. Metallic hues such as gold and silver, along with jewel tones such as emerald green and ruby red, are also fairly popular with brides who want to be the centre of attention on their special day.
CUT: The wedding day is an auspicious occasion and is all about sacred rituals and traditions. Therefore, most brides opt for a traditional lehenga design that is in sync with the theme of the day and will enhance their bridal beauty. On the contrary, pre-wedding events offer the perfect opportunity for brides to experiment with modern pre-wedding lehenga designs. From mermaid cut and straight fit to corset blouses and bralettes, brides can go all out when choosing their lehenga for pre-wedding.
ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS: Pre-wedding events offer the perfect opportunity for brides to experiment with contemporary lehenga designs. Whether it is modern silhouettes or additional elements that add a touch of style to the lehenga. For a lehenga for pre-wedding, you can experiment with various elements such as jackets, capes, belts, shrugs, drapes, etc.
EMBROIDERY: Some of the best embroidery styles for wedding lehengas are zardozi, dabka and aari, as they impart a regal and opulent look to the lehenga. The intricate and gleaming embroidery style works seamlessly for auspicious occasions such as the wedding day. For pre-wedding lehengas, chikankari, mirrorwork, and gota patti are more suitable picks, as they offer a fresh look to the lehenga for pre-wedding design and are more suitable for engagement, sangeet or mehendi ceremonies.
