All Indian brides want to look extra special on their big day. But with that desire come all sorts of confusion regarding the type of clothes they want to wear, the jewellery, the makeup and so much more.

But don’t worry folks, we’re here to rescue you from that rabbit hole. Choosing THE look for the day is a challenging task, but it gets much simpler when you narrow down your aesthetic. What we mean is, there are a few bridal styles or a few categories in which most brides fall, broadly. Once you decide on your bridal style or your “aesthetic,” it becomes much easier to envision your whole look in detail. The first step in this process is choosing the best bridal colour!

In this article, we’ll provide you with a neat introduction to a variety of bridal colours, the aesthetics they usually go with and give you some bonus inspiration looks to see how it all comes together. We guarantee that by the end of this article, you’ll have a good idea of what sort of look you want to go for!

The Royal Indian Red Bride

This look is the traditional bridal look that everyone thinks of when you say “Indian Bride.” Red is hands down the most popular bridal colour when it comes to indian brides. This royal red look usually consists of heavily adorned outfits in reds, maroons and golden colours which are paired with gorgeous and heavy gold jewellery. This is a classic look, and hence extremely popular. But don’t make the mistake of sidelining this just because it is mainstream! It is popular for a good reason.

The colour palette, the luxurious royal look and the glamorous jewellery make this aesthetic fit for all. No matter what you look like, you will 100% end up looking like a beautiful queen getting married.

If you’re someone who wants to stay close to their roots and embrace their culture, you should definitely think about going with this timeless option.

The Golden Bride

The golden bride look is simply, what it says. Golden, top to bottom, with maybe a tiny hint of other colours. But usually, it’s a gorgeous golden lehenga with golden and stone jewellery, making the bride look like a million-dollar doll. This look can also vary from absolutely heavy and regal to modern and light.

Gold goes with all skin tones, but if you are on the duskier side, or have a warm skin tone, this look is going to look a whole different level of amazing on you, so don’t forget to consider this option!

The Pastel Bride

This look, as it suggests consists of pastel outfits. Pastel colours like powder blue and lavender are becoming increasingly popular as bridal colours. This colour palette gives a light and airy vibe, making the bride look youthful, bright, soft and heavenly. 2021 has been seeing a lot of pastel brides, as people have started to realise the magic of these outfits. These pastel colours suit almost all Indian skin tones and go extremely well with anything from light and natural makeup to a full glam look. Though, most people prefer lighter makeup with pastel outfits to complement the whole soft and pure vibe.

If you consider yourself to be a bubbly, cheery and joyous person and want to look young, soft and angelic, you should definitely consider the pastel bride look!

The Vibrant and Bold Bride

This look is for all those brides who aren’t afraid to experiment a little with colours and rock bright and beautiful colours that aren’t typically part of bridal wear. From bright or dark blues to greens to yellows, if you’re someone with a vibrant personality, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t try out bold colours that are a little different!

The Pink Bride

Pink is another popular choice amongst brides. It has a lot of variants like pastel pink or bright pink or dark pink. This look can range anywhere from soft and floral to bright and fun to classic and traditional depending on how you style it. Our favourite version of this is the pastel pink bride. As a bridal colour, pink can bring out the girly, youthful and carefree side of anyone who wears it, thus making it perfect for weddings.

The Glittery Bride

This final style is for all the Indian brides who aren’t afraid to break out of norms and wear bold and unique outfits on their wedding day. Silver is an extremely bold bridal colour but if you want to look like an ice queen, who’s stopping you? Unique styles of lehengas, gowns, and everything one can think of, silver is the best colour if you want to look edgy and glamorous so if you’re an experimental and strong person who wants to make a statement on their wedding, try silver!

This article covers “The Yellow Bride,” aka Paven’s awe-inspiring wedding, the decor and the amazing styling, which was planned meticulously by the gorgeous bride. “We went for a Mughal old world charm vibe for the wedding day with tropical greenhouse shots following the wedding. For the reception – went for a more high fashion couture renaissance theme, something out of Bridgeton!” said Paven.

Excited to go see the amazing wedding photoshoot? Well, let’s get some context first. Here’s their classic high school love story.

Their Story

Gopi and Paven were high school sweethearts who met when we were 16. They started talking on Facebook thanks to their common interest in Hockey, which led to her going to watch one of Gopi’s games and a classic movie date. From the beginning, Paven had a gut feeling that this was it.

“I guess my gut was right because almost 10 years later, after graduating high school, going to university together and having full-fledged careers, here we are getting married this summer.  We grew from being dorky teenage kids into somewhat mature adults lol, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! We got married 3 weeks before our 10th anniversary – so our mini-moon celebrated our marriage, our relationship, and a small honeymoon all in one,” added Paven.

Honestly, this classic love story has already warmed our hearts, but their wedding photoshoot just blew our minds with the absolutely jaw-dropping shots.

The Pre Wedding Photoshoot

Paven wore a gorgeous sharara with eccentric patterns and prints true to her persona and paired it with beautiful stone accessories for this absolutely mind-blowing pre-wedding photoshoot. Gopi contrasted her fabulous outfit with a beautifully simplistic grey kurta pyjama. The focus of this shoot of course shifts to the backdrop. In these photos, the couple’s beauty is elevated by the mountains’ blissful and peaceful yet dramatic natural backdrop.

The Mehndi Ceremony Look

The tropical plant, the muted and earthy tones of her gorgeous printed lehenga, the subtle warm makeup and the lovely mandala mehndi give these photos a warm and soft touch. However, the main attraction point of this photoshoot is just the beauty of Paven. Her statuesque, sculpted features, intense eyes, beautiful hair and majestic presence, we can’t take our eyes off the beauty she possesses.

The Wedding Day Photoshoot

We’ve seen brides deviate from the classic red norms, we’ve seen brides wear all sorts of bright and pastel colours, but seldom have we ever seen a bride slay a yellow outfit on her wedding day. Paven dawned a marvellous yellow lehenga with intricate stonework and Gopi wore a beautiful white and gold anarkali sherwani and white jacket with intricate floral embroidery. The couple truly gave us chills with the Mughal-E-Azam vibes, don’t blame us for fangirling!

The Reception Photoshoot

Oh boy, where do we even begin with this one! Reception Photoshoot or a Vogue Photoshoot? We can’t decide, can you? Looking like models straight from a fashion magazine’s front page, Paven gave us a blue and gold suit with unique net details in the neckline and sleeves, finishing it off with a long net train, and Gopi gave us a dapper white suit which brings out his beautifully shaped beard and dark eyes. These photos just scream perfection from the outfits to the poses to the locations to the big blue floral wedding cake. Have a look for yourself.

So that was Paven and Gopi’s wedding, and we don’t think we’ll ever get over this gorgeous couple who gave us just wedding photoshoot goals. Which look was your favourite? Let us know!

If you’re someone who’s planning to get married soon, get ready to be inspired!

“ I vow to always come to you.

I promise that your hand will be the only hand I clutch when I spot a flying insect or when there’s turbulence on a plane. I promise to come to you with all the gossip and I’ll also come to you to vent out after a bad day. I’ll come to you when I’m happy when I’m sad when I’m nervous when I’m scared when I’m excited, but I’ll always come to you!”

Mehendi Ceremony

“I vow to be a good listener.

I want your worst- give me your bad days at work, your long commutes and traffic jams, your lost keys, your missed alarms, your annoying phone calls, bounced cheques, bad wifi, your low battery… give me your every day, and I will give you my love, a strong shoulder and both my ears, to make it alright.”

Dhwani donned a fabulous sage green two piece modern lehenga with a flamboyant top for her mehendi ceremony. She looks beautiful, gleeming with intricate mehendi design which is thoughtful and symbolic of their long distance relationship. Even Akhil got an adorable mehendi design on his hand!

Haldi Ceremony

“I vow to guide you with your best interest at my heart.

I promise to tell you what you can pull off clothes-wise and be honest when its not just working. I’ll motivate you every time you want to take the next step. I’ll call you out too when I feel you’re wrong. I’ll be your friend, philosopher and I’ll be always want whats best for you.”

The haldi ceremony is the most color filled wedding rituals in India, filled with warm and joyous moments. For her haldi, the bride wore a beautiful yellow and orange lehenga and added floral ornaments to finish her stunning look, and we’re huge fans of this look!

Sangeet Ceremony

 “I vow to love and respect you.

Even as you scan through all those movies without picking one to watch. Even as you come up with very questionable ideas. Even when you Yawn mid-conversation. Even if you love pineapple pizza topping or eat vanilla ice cream. I’m going to love you and going to keep you.”

This sangeet ceremony was a dash of glamour and fun, and we can see that through the pictures and the expressions of the couple! Dhwani rocked a fabulous dark blue printed lehenga and Akhil mesmerised us with his dashing green and golden sherwani look! Sangeet is one of everyone’s favorite wedding ceremonies, and this one looks extremely fun, filled with dance performances, laughter and joy.

The Wedding Ceremony

“I vow to always be there for you when you need me. Sometimes, even when you don’t need me.

I promise to comfort you when you order pineapple pizza or when you prefer cheesecake over chocolate cake. My only wish is to be the person you chose to sit next to in the room with all the people in history ever.”

 Finally came the wedding ceremony, with Dhwani in her intricate, fierce classic red and gold wedding lehenga and Akhil in his white sequin sherwani and turban. The happiness and elation of the couple truly shines through the photos. Looking at these pictures, we can feel the chemistry, love and connection this couple has, and we couldn’t be happier for them.

The Reception

 “I vow to try and have the tolerance and patience that love demands.

To speak when words are required and share the silence when they are not.
I promise I’ll try to be patient as we both adjust, find our way, find our groove and create our own perfect world. “

The reception ceremony photos are oozing with sophistication and glamour. Akhil slayed a dapper classic tux and Dhwani gave us a mind blowingly ethereal white princess gown moment and we’re living for it!

This charming couple has won our hearts with their amazing looks and their even more remarkable and fascinating love for each other that shines through their vows. That said, here’s the final vow:

“I vow to live this ADventure with you.

Let’s be silly together. Let’s just be stupid and eat unhealthy things (but also workout) and make bad decisions ( but also be responsible). Let’s learn that shuffle. Let’s stay up late and watch FRIENDS or any episode and then run around like crazies in the morning.
Let’s do it! It’ll be an adventure. Let’s live for the moments! Let’s make memories!”
