Wedding season is coming up and I for one can’t go on any social media without being assaulted by images of happy, shiny, newly engaged couples. And while I don’t have any intentions of being married any time soon (*looks nervously at mom*), you can’t blame me if I spend a few moments fantasising about the perfect wedding lehenga, without wanting the whole marriage thing that follows this. And who better than Manish Malhotra, designer to the brightest Bollywood stars to inspire some Pinterest worthy #BrideGoals?So, whether you’re single or committed or basically have an internet connection, keep scrolling and let me know which look you like best in the comments below.
IMHO, Manish Malhotra’s playful use of pastel pink is perfect for the bride to be who doesn’t love gaudy reds. The use of 3D applique, intricate, blinged out bead work and feathers ensure it’s heavy enough that your mom doesn’t feel underwhelmed that it’s not showy, but still looks fashionable and amazing in photos!
We also absolutely adore that Manish Malhotra helped us channel our inner Ice Queen with a whole plethora of lehengas in oh-so-cool shades of silver, ivory and pale blues, coupled with pearl work and modern floral embroidery.
The veteran designer also excels when he combines the quintessential “dulhan red” with modern silhouettes to create outfits that are so MM!
