Bridal Lehengas: All You Need to Know

A perfect wedding dress is a fantasy of each Bride and is planned even prior to the engagement. Regardless of how much the Indian women love wearing western outfits, the customary ones are still favored with regards to their bridal attire. Bridal Lehenga has been and still is one of the prominent choices of most Indian brides. 

Why is it important to Plan?

While selecting the perfect wedding lehenga and saree, the things which one must consider are quality, value, design, latest trends, and not to overlook your complexion and body shape. There are different wedding lehenga and saree shops where one can explore the best choice based on their body and complexion.

There are four types of body shapes:

1.The heavy Bottom type: Do not pick a hip-hugging dress; pick a wedding lehenga with basic and straight cuts. While wearing a sari don’t go for the heavy bordered ones and pick a lightly printed sari, as striking prints will add more volume to your shape.
2.The ‘Hourglass shape’ or the ideal shape : Wow! You’re the good for one! With this type of figure a wide range of dresses would suit you, and you need to choose your dress remembering your height and appearance.
3.The thin shape: If you are of the thin figure then pick a dress that would add volume to your edge, for this lehenga or saree made of tissue fabric or material which gives a loose fit would do. The same remains true if you are wearing an outfit, you can go for fluffy, balloon look around your waist offering you a fuller look.
4.The Heavy from all sides shape : For these shapes maintain a strategic distance from any types of pleated or flared apparel or strong prints even lines, incline towards single color clothing types, vertical line dresses, slim heels, avoid chunky jewelry.
