The wedding season is upon us, and every home is running to shopping malls to find the perfect fit. Especially for bridesmaids, the hunt for a practical yet show-stopping lehenga can be a tedious task. With respect to their busy schedules and tons of running around, bridesmaids are often on the lookout for pieces that cater to both comfort and style. And while India loves its festivals, a great desi wedding is no less than a spectacular celebration. This years-long obsession of the country for the shaadi season has given birth to newer designer labels, serving the needs of every guest at the wedding. From nosey ristedars to well-dressed groomsmen, labels have something for everyone. And this variety can be more confusing than helpful. Hence, we have arrived to help you easily find your favourite pick. Be it festive sets, brocade pantsuits or old-school lehengas, ladies, trust these brands to turn you into the most beautiful bridesmaid.

These coordinated three and two-piece combinations are not just a better replacement for tiring lehengas but equally serve your wedding fashion needs. As opted for celebrities and social media stars, designers Rishi and Vibhuti’s festive sets in red, and navy blue are delightful additions to a bridesmaid’s wardrobe. You can even mix and match these pieces for varied wedding festivities, and accessorise as per your needs. Shop Here
Contemporary Meets Classic
For shoppers today, the marriage between contemporary and classics is an interesting combination. In terms of occasion dressing, sarees are finding a match with blazers, and blouses are replaced by bustiers. And displaying a youthful charm is designer duo–Shyamal and Bhumika. Besides dressing every bride, the celebrated designers’ latest collection for FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week was a refreshing mix of the past and present. Witnessing the homecoming of see-through churidaars, and kalidars, bridesmaids can experiment with slit-lining sarees, and balloon-sleeved blouses, teamed with pocketed lehengas. Shop Here

With a wider range of colour options and heirloom-worthy fabrics, bridesmaids can experiment with twisted, concept sarees, cut-out festive sets, and jacketed sarees. Shop Here

Prints Prints
The evolution of a wedding lehenga is slowly trusting fabric play. Leaning less on embroideries and loving more prints, bridesmaids are picking up skirts that are lighter but do not compromise on colours.

An easy route to skip the weight of embroideries. Shop Here
