Luxurious Trends In Bridal Lehenga


Talking about Indian bridal outfit, the names that crop up into your mindare lehenga-choli, sari and salwar-kameez. Now most of the brides, especially in North India, prefer wearing a lehenga-choli for their wedding. The bridal lehenga is adorned with a lot of embellishments, to give it a very rich and luxurious look. In most of the cases, heavy embroidery (with silver or golden thread), stones, crystals and sequins are used to decorate the lehenga of a bride and give it a royal feel.
The dress comprises of a lehenga (skirt), choli (blouse) and dupatta/chunni (stole). The lehenga is an ankle-length skirt, which is draped around the waist, while choli is a midriff-revealing blouse, usually with tight sleeves, shirt sleeves and low neck and back. The dupatta/chunni is just like a stole, which might be slung around the neck or hung from one of the shoulders.
Earlier, Lehenga used to be worn by women on an everyday basis. These days, it is reserved for special occasions only, like wedding or a festival.
