CELEBRATE Style Secrets Hot trends for the season? “For summer weddings, fabrics like soft satin, micro velvet, crepe de chine, soft silk, lamé and net are the trendsetters. Pastel hues and earthy tones like nudes, peach, dusty pinks and mint green with a metallic tint, rule the colour palette. Global fashion has a significant influence on Indian bridal wear. Blouses make a statement with cold shoulder and off shoulder styles, ruffles, bell sleeves and fringes. These are styled with flouncy and dramatic lehengas. Asymmetrical patterns are also making a comeback on the runway,” says Sneh. For the brides, she says, go very Indian traditional or wear an heirloom piece for the wedding day keeping it elegant, regal and respectful but for other occasions like Mehendi, Sangeet or the Reception, she urges you to experiment with contemporary styles.
