Sangeet

Wedding
Of all the ceremonies, the wedding or D-day is the most awaited day. While some brides like to keep it simple and elegant, others go for ravishing bold colours both of which are equally admired and praised. In the case of a day wedding, opting for subtle pastel shades is trending this season while a night wedding calls for heavy, embellished bold colours such as maroon, golden, or even pure blood red attires. One can opt for either the ever-trending Maharani bridal lehenga and pair it with a heavy bold neck piece or even try out Nayantara’s fitted neck jewel wedding blouse with a self-work saree.
Reception
Some like to keep it simple and elegant with a Banarasi or Kanjivaram silk saree look while others opt for bold statement sequin sarees paired with an embellished or ornate blouse. Bold colours have so far worked wonders on the reception day but pastel, gold toned or organza sarees are the latest fashion trends of the season. Also, don’t forget to try the plain blingy bordered sarees too and pair them with the contrasting statement jewellery of your choice.
