5 Indian Bridal Ideas for Autumn and Winter 2020

The coronavirus pandemic, which has hit globally, has affected all the spheres of everyone’s life. Even in the wedding scenario, plenty of couples have decided to delay their weddings. Those who are continuing with the ceremony as planned have also been forced to plan intimate weddings, with fewer guests. Big Indian Weddings won’t be big anymore, at least till the pandemic plans to persist. Though the weddings will be a smaller and intimate affair, as they are the most important occasion in the couple’s and their family’s lives to build beautiful memories, the bridal ensemble can’t be compromised with.

Talking about Indian weddings in North America, the silhouettes and fabrics should be sensibly chosen to handle the coming winter season. Gone are the days when wearing tulles, nets and exquisite chantilly laced fabrics were worn despite freezing winters. Now the bride prefers to go the sensible way to dress elegantly, gracefully, and distinctively, yet keeping in mind the comfort during the winter wedding ceremony.

Velvets and Silks

Velvets and silks add an instant touch of royalty to the bridal attire, whether it’s a saree or lehenga. These are two plush fabrics that notably will keep the bride warm and comfortable throughout the ceremony, but give her a regal look as well. Enhanced with the flamboyant embroideries of zardozi, Swarovski crystals, sequins, etc., the attire would steal the heart of your sweetheart and would leave the guests awestruck. Mixing the two fabrics in the garment isn’t a bad idea as well. The bride can choose a velvet lehenga and team it up with a brocade blouse or take a silk sari with a velvet pallu.
