Be The Fearless Bold Bride In Black At Your Wedding

One might think of those traditional yet safe shades such as reds, maroons maybe pinks for a wedding ceremony. Well, we do not blame the brides, our traditions have been so strong that young brides also think twice before experimenting. But ladies, it is that one night when you can experiment, be yourself and make a statement. We suggest going for a classic combination of black and gold. Black represents that adventurous girl in you and gold loops in the tradition. We love this beautiful black and gold Manish Malhotra lehenga on Sridevi. Adding the texture to the look is the velvet dupatta and the mandarin collared blouse. To add a bit of beauty, you can pair a colourful necklace.

Sabyasachi Mukherjee also knows how to have fun with black, and if we do not speak about his heavy gold embroidered black lehenga, it would be unfair. Out of his many black and gold bridal ensembles, this one stands out. The cropped choli, the net duppata makes this look not jus easy to carry but trendy too.
