Bridal Lehenga Designs For 2021 Weddings

बीते साल में दुनिया की बहुत सारी छोटी, कम से कम शादियों को गले लगाया गया, भारतीय दुल्हनें पूरी तरह से अधिक से अधिक दुपट्टे के साथ पूरी तरह से विकसित हुईं, जो भारी गहनों और सोने में सुशोभित थीं। मेहमानों और एक बड़े स्थल के लिए आवंटित बजट के कम होने के साथ, दुल्हन के पहनावे को और अधिक दिया गया। लेकिन, सभी पारंपरिक भारतीय कार्यक्रमों और देर रात तक बॉलीवुड डांस करने के लिए हमारी प्यारी दुल्हनों को हार माननी पड़ी, उन्होंने इसके लिए कुछ सबसे रंगीन और भारी-भरकम लहंगे के साथ बनाया, जिन्हें हमने पहले कभी नहीं देखा।

इसके खिलाफ लड़ने के बजाय, भारतीय दुल्हनें उस समय में झुक रही हैं, जिसमें हम रह रहे हैं, उनमें से अधिकांश लंबे समय तक क्लासिक्स पर कुछ चंचल ट्विस्ट के साथ हैं। परंपरागत रूप से, भारतीय दुल्हनें मंगल के प्रतीक के रूप में लाल रंग का पवित्र रंग पहनती हैं (हिंदू ज्योतिष के अनुसार, विवाह के प्रभारी ग्रह) और समृद्धि, लेकिन आज की आधुनिक दुल्हन उज्ज्वल फ्यूशिया, पन्ना के रंगों, पीले रंग का दान कर रही हैं (2021 का रंग) वर्ष!), और कुछ मामलों में उपरोक्त सभी।

इस वर्ष हम अपनी रंगीन दुल्हनों से जो देखने की उम्मीद कर सकते हैं, उस पर एक पकड़ पाने के लिए, हमने भारत के शीर्ष दुल्हन के डिजाइनर मनीष मल्होत्रा, गौरव गुप्ता, निधि मेहरा, नताशा दलाल और मोनिका शाह से बात की। उन्होंने अद्वितीय सिल्हूट, कालातीत कपड़े, कढ़ाई और उज्ज्वल रंगों के बारे में बात की, जो हम इस आगामी वर्ष की दुल्हनों पर देख रहे हैं।

Double Dupattas

“This year, we’ll be seeing a lot of long, trailing head veils and adding a double dupatta to most of our looks in new collections,” says Malhotra. His brand has always been about glamour and drama, and this year that will manifest in the form of sweeping, train-like dupattas atop the head.

Cerise Looks

“The bridal color of the season has to be cerise—it’s part of my new fuchsia obsession!” says designer Gupta. “It strikes a great resemblance to traditional lava red, but exudes undertones of fuchsia.” This color is perfect for the bride who might not want to stray too far from tradition, but still wants a hint of playfulness.

Lightweight Embroidery

“I’m really gravitating towards outfits that are comfortable. It can be comfortable and still be the outfit of your dreams,” offers Dalal. “If the outfit’s weighing you down, you automatically look a little sad and uncomfortable but when you’re feeling a little bit like you can move around, you glow with more confidence.”

If you’re the bride who actually wants to be able to move around and dance comfortably in their outfit, fabrics like chiffon and georgette, for example, give off total princess vibes without sacrificing comfort.

Exaggerated Sleeves

“I love that this year brings with it the opportunity to experiment,” says Mehra. “In terms of blouses, we’ll be playing a lot with exaggerated sleeves.” If traditional embellishments just aren’t your thing, sleeves like these are a great way to add a luxurious feel without a heavy feel.

Light Gold Lehengas

"Light gold is going to work really well, because it's something that can carry you from your wedding to your afterparty. Rather than the dozen events we usually have in our weddings, there will just be two or three, so gold is a great, versatile option," says Dalal. Most Indian brides traditionally do a completely different look for their receptions or after-parties, but with most doing one outfit, a color like gold offers the ability to simply change up your jewelry or accessories for a distinct look that will carry you from the traditional ceremonies to the after-party.

Just like Dalal, Shah has been really mindful of the brides taking their look straight from day to evening wear this year. “Garnet is a stunning color to incorporate into your bridalwear look because it looks great both in sunlight and in artificial light. Traditional red doesn’t look great in evening light, so traditional outfits aren’t working anymore.”

Multi-Colored Embroidery

We’re working on a lot of pearl and multi-colored embroidery with a mix of pinks and blues amalgamated,” shares Mehra. “Multicolor is something we’re concentrating on because it’s a unique way of adding a bit of dimension to a look.” We’ve seen multicolored looks in fabrics, but multicolored embroidery is extra luxurious for the bride who might be looking for an opulent way to play on the colorful trend.

Emerald Green Outfits

“Emerald green is such an opulent color. It’s the color of love and hope," explains Gupta. In Indian culture, the heart chakra is represented by the color green—plus, your gold jewelry will look amazing with it.

Ombré Tones

Ombré may be on its way out when it comes to hair trends, but it is in when it comes to lehengas. Dalal shares, “Ombré has been really exciting to experiment with because of the light-to-dark aspect. Some people go through that question of wondering whether they should do a pastel or darker color, but this way you can get the best of both worlds.”

Longer Sleeves

When dressing her clients, Shah is also really mindful of the wedding theme. “An outfit with longer sleeves adds an elegant, formal touch that’s great for a black-tie event,” she shares. “Something little like adding full sleeves adds to a more regal effect if that’s what your theme is.”

Organza Skirts

On the flip side, Shah recommends leveraging this year’s love for organza if you’re planning on a more beachy or outdoor wedding. “These kinds of weddings are a joy to style because you can really have fun and experiment. Maybe wear a blush pink or royal blue blouse paired with a light organza skirt. Then, you can have fun with your jewelry and wear something colorful.” This is another great way to easily re-wear your lehenga for future events—dress it up with lots of jewelry or an embellished jacket, or down with a simple white crop top.

Bridal Capes

“I'm going to be doing more capes so you can get rid of the dupatta and just be comfortable,” says Dalal. What better day to channel your inner Wonder Woman?

Color-Blocked Lehengas

“In a refreshing take from monotone lehengas, brides are going to be considering more color-blocked options this year,” says Malhotra. Whether you love playing with colors or are just plain indecisive, there are multiple ways to play with this versatile trend overtly or with more subtle pastels depending on your style.

Exaggerated Ball Gowns

If you’re an Indian bride who’s ever dreamt of wearing a Met Gala-esque gown, this is definitely your year. “You can expect newer drapes that create exaggerated silhouettes with fabrics like silk organza, opulent fabrics like silk, and many more,” says Gupta.

Off-the-Shoulder Sleeves

“I am going to do lots of fun sleeves this year,” Dalal adds. “Sleeves are a great way to add some drama while still being light.” The embroidered pearl and fringe detail on this blouse add a gorgeous feminine touch to the dramatic, off-shoulder sleeves.

Scalloped Dupattas

“Lace, pearls, and scallops in dupattas will take center stage,” says Mehra. “Organza is really big this year again, too, because it’s such a delicate and beautiful fabric that always looks tasteful on brides.” If you’re still leaning towards a traditional silhouette for your lehenga, a lacey, scalloped dupatta is a great way to have a bit of fun—plus, it photographs beautifully. 

Blended Color Schemes

“In 2021, we will be seeing a beautiful mix of colors represented by the different states of India,” adds Malhotra. “We’ll take the vibrancy of Punjab and mix it with the opulence of the Mughal era along with the serenity of pastels.” This color concept is perfect for the bride wanting to represent a beautiful blend of different cultures.

Hybrid Silhouettes

COURTESY OF GAURAV GUPTA

“I believe in bringing a cultural shift with the kind of garments that I create,” says Gupta. “When traditional silhouettes seamlessly blend in with contemporary styles, I see a beautiful amalgamation of India and the West.” Hybrid silhouettes like this one aren’t just beautifully feminine and elegant, they also make a statement about Indian culture and fashion.

Gold Dori Work

COURTESY OF MANISH MALHOTRA

“You’ll see a lot of gold dori work this year,” says Malhotra. “In our upcoming Ruhaniyaat couture collection, we have introduced it in new colors to make the collection look more Punjabi.” Gold work is a signature staple for brides from the Indian state of Punjab. Introducing gold in a new color palette and with unique patterns is a great way for the modern bride to pay homage to ancient tradition.

Geometric Shapes

“Patterns like chevron and geometric stripes are really in vogue right now,” says Mehra. This particular lehenga has a bit of everything we’re loving this year, from the fuschia color to the ruffles and glittering geometric shapes.
