"Hi, I love your blog. I am currently doing wedding planning and desperately looking for guidance. I like research and don't feel comfortable making decision without knowledge. I learned first one needs to decide if they want a lehanga or saree. After seeing few pictures I realized which look I want. Then with lehanga I need to decide which color, which cut (what is fishcut & pannel cut?), then decide on material (I never knew silk vs. Georgette can make huge difference in look) and finally pay attention to decoration (antique vs. stone). Can you please do a post!"
The first advice I give to any reader or friend is to pick an actress whose style you like, who in your eye has impeccable taste.
Look at her Indian wear pictures, chances are either she played a role where she dressed as a bride or has had her wedding.
Don't get influenced, just inspired. Just get a feel of the things you like. Its to get your subconscious working and to make it aware of what you like.

| While I am not a big fan of their acting I did fall in love with their wedding looks! That made me realize that yes I love traditional brides, I love the drama of the big bling red lehenga with flowers in your hair and gold jewelry, the Whole 16 Shingar (!). But that didn't mean that I would go out and get a copy of one of their lehenga, it just meant when I go shopping I would tell the sales person I want a traditional red lehenga. |
Don't fixate on a lehenga, even we as designers never know exactly what a garment will look like once its on the bride, till its actually on the bride. So don't be stubborn and say you wont look at anything else. Try other styles too, even if you do end up buying the lehenga you were so fixed on, its better to not regret not trying other things out.
