From Funky Colours To Bohemian Romance, Indian Designers To Pick For Your Mehendi Function

Besides your wedding day, a lineup of pre-wedding ceremonies also demands you to look your bridal best. And with the latest shaadis of Bollywood’s leading, real-life couples, bridal trends from sangeet to haldi are making bridal shopping bags heavier. For many, the idea of keeping a check on heavy details for their pre-wedding festivities is as personal and important as d-day. And what better than to seek a little help from the brands who have mastered minting these festive looks? From loud music to mehendi mela and bright colours, some Indian brands specialise in creating pre-wedding looks. Straight from traditional embroideries to dhinchak sequins and sheen borders, these Indian designer labels from House Of Masaba to Punit Balana will make sure of keeping your mehendi looking fab.

A Neon Party 

The first name on our list is Papa Don’t Preach By Shubhika. From effervescent sequins to contemporary beadwork, Papa Don’t Preach By Shubhika brings functionality back to bridal fashion. The popularly cropped lehengas by the label are perfect for when you sit down to get painted with mehendi. Fuss-free and full of colours, you can also add chain bags around your waist and dance the night out in the comfortable length by the brand.
