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!
