How has the process of designing bridal wear
changed in recent times?
Brides today are looking for a contemporary
look with a hint of tradition whilst still staying on trend with the cuts and
colours. Today’s modern bride seeks elegance, style and comfort. A versatile
ensemble, that doesn’t weigh her down and allows her to enjoy her own wedding
as much as everyone else does. Which is why all my bridal wear is light to
wear, while being a stunning tribute to tradition.
What are the predominant trends that are
going to be seen in Vogue Wedding Show 2016 bridal wear this year?
A lot of prints, motifs and reinvented
silhouettes teamed with heirloom crafts and traditional weaves.
Which is the most memorable bridal outfit that you ever designed?
Every bride of mine is special. It will be
unfair to pick one as an iconic piece as every bride looks radiant and deserves
to take centre stage and be the celebrity at her own wedding.
What is the most common mistake that a bride
may make on her big day?
I think it is very important to be
comfortable in what you wear, and let your personality shine through. Even the
most vigilant brides can be steered off-course sometimes. I always believe that
brides should choose an outfit that doesn’t weigh them down and hence all my
lehengas are designed in a way that the bride can dance at her own wedding.
What elements have you added in your Vogue
Wedding Show 2016 bridal collection for the bride who wants to wear a design
which is relevant yet traditional?
Beautiful printed lehengas with pockets and
Bohemian tops. The traditional bridal red is a major part of the collection
along with classic silhouettes – hand woven Benares jackets with full circle
skirts,, suits, flowy silhouettes for light occasion wear, etc.
Your top three trousseau tips for the smart
bride?
- I
think each bride should definitely own an heirloom piece as a part of her
trousseau
- While
accessories are very important, the bride must ensure that they do not go
overboard. It is all about understated elegance and not overpowering bling
- Keep
one item in your entire look opulent, and let that be a statement piece of
jewelry like a jadau choker or a raani haar.
Good post dear.
