Ditch The Laal Joda And Opt For A White Lehenga For Your Wedding. Here’s How You Can Style It!

Ditch The Laal Joda And Opt For A White Lehenga For Your Wedding. Here’s How You Can Style It!

Whoever said white isn’t bridal enough, is in need of serious fashion education. Signifying sheer elegance, a white lehenga is a class apart and a statement look in its own right. We do acknowledge that choosing white for your big day can be a gamble most brides won’t be willing to take. But given the right styling, fabric, accessories, and dupatta, it is possible to turn out a fabulous white wedding look, without offending our mother’s friend group rooting for the laal joda!

My obsession with white lehengas began with one of the best character introduction scenes in a movie ever…Sonam Kapoor Ahuja rushing to a wedding wearing a white lehenga in Bollywood’s best fashion film (IMO) Aisha. The lavender pastel combined with sheer white panels was my first introduction to the phenomenon of cocktail lehengas. Combined with her white and golden saree at the end, Sonam is the reason why I still love white in ethnic wear so!

Young brides these days are open to pushing the boundaries of wedding fashion. This opens up so avenues for tailors, boutiques, local markets and designers alike to present something unique. This bridal season, we are seeing white lehengas be a scene-stealer and here are all the ways you can do it!
