Ace fashion designer Vikram Phadnis, who has recently launched a bridal collection, advises the blushing brides to go in for contrast colour combinations rather than sticking to conventional colours. “The most important thing to bear in mind is that the colours chosen should complement the bride’s complexion and bring out her best features,” the Mumbai-based icon suggests.

The diva of fashion designing, Neeta Lulla, elaborates, “Two distinctive looks will prevail this season – lehengas and saris with a very traditional and ethnic feel. The entire look and feel will be very old- worldly and yesteryears’ style with accessories and embellishments that are vintage or very Western and have a multi-textured blend.”
