Ballooned by Blush


 A perfect match for the autumn-winter bridal season, especially for haldi and mehendi as it exposes the right amount of legs and hands for beauty adornment rituals.

Try and opt for soft monotone colors with  crystal placement work and team it with a sexy blouse which is our version of modern day Amrapali. The balloon hem adds to its playfulness and injects a girlie fun to the traditional ensembles.

Style Tip : Invest in some precious and semi - precious payal to go with short hem lehenga to complete the look.

Blush bride :
Pink is returning back this season in its softest hues which celebrate the delicate feminine charm. From marshmallow, vintage rose to onion, it works great and fits perfectly in any bride's fairy - tale wedding and it's not loud enough such that you can wear it for some one Else's function later on.
It looks soft and ethereal when we choose fabrics like lace , organza, net etc. It contributes to its dream - like appeal.

Style Tip : Color contrast it with deep jewel accents like jade, emerald, ink blue for an edgy punch to all the bland outfits.
