The It Colour of the Season

Last year saw a slew of extravagant weddings of all the who’s who of India and amongst many other trends that developed, one statement followed suit. It was the red bridal look that made a big comeback into the wedding scene. From Sonam Kapoor to Deepika Padukone to Priyanka Chopra, the beauties of Bollywood broke the internet choosing a quintessential old world appearance. As we progressed to fashion weeks this year, glowing red-glazed looks continued to serve a major fashion statement. That established, siren red looks are the new eye candies of the festive and wedding fiestas, so it’s time for you to give it a green signal too!

Inspiring fancy couture for celebratory affairs, vivid shades of red from top to toe were seen peacocking on the runway this season. While Rajdeep Ranawat accented them in bohemian prints, SVA by Sonam and Paras Modi presented shimmer-dipped wedding-worthy looks and Ruceru rendered the enriching hue with cutting-edge silhouettes.

Trousseau-Worthy

To reckon with modern sensibilities, the heritage red bridal look of today is topped with a dash of novelty. Clean cuts and muted embellishments are the keys to have a pleasing impression on the onlookers. Adorn gold & kundan to dial it up or Swarovski jewels to make it dreamy; you can imagine red bridal lehenga beyond the classic now.

Festive Stunner

If you wish to take a shift from the demure combination of pastel-fusion looks, choose indo-western silhouettes flirty reds. Its off-the-cuff glamour will instantly make a wave amidst muted pastels that you see at the wedding galas. Play with drapes, statement ornate and go unabashedly extra on the siren hue to enter like a showstopper.

Classic Charmer

Shades of red denote old-world charisma like no other colour du jour. Recreate retro allure with a traditional red anarkali or kurta ensemble. From low-key festivities to pre-wedding rituals, your charm wouldn’t go unnoticed amidst the neutrals and pastels. 

If you’re seeking head-turning entries this season, red is the colour to dive in. Whether you like it classic, modern or more experimental, there’s a shade and tint of red to dial up the drama.
