Which Bridal Lehenga to choose – the million dollar question


Indian brides typically wore a sari on their wedding day.



The bride from Kerala wore a white sari known as the Mundu.





The Brahmin bride from TamilNadu wore the 9 yards sari




The Bengali bride wore the typical red sari

The Maharashtrian bride wore an 8 yard sari in a completely different style.

The region, the culture and the religion defined the sartorial choices for the bride.
Not anymore. 

The lehenga choli, typically worn by brides from Rajasthan and Gujarat, has taken over the imagination of Indian brides.

The bridal lehenga, promoted by the Bollywood heroines has inspired brides   to discard the traditional saris and look modern and stylish on their wedding day.

Designers such as Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi Mukherji, Ritu Kumar ,TarunTahiliani and  several other designers have created some unique and trendy  lehengas for brides.

The actress Anushka Sharma showed off her pink floral bridal lehenga by Sabyasachi Mukherji.


Here are some of the latest styles
