Designer Bridal / Wedding Dresses

Fashion Design and Fashion Designers have a significant impact on the bridal and wedding dress industry. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and the bride's dress is one of the most crucial elements. A fashion designer's role is to create stunning and unique dresses that make a bride feel special on her wedding day. Bridal fashion designers study trends, fabrics, and styles to create the perfect dress that embodies the bride's personality and style. They work closely with brides to create customized designs, paying attention to details like the silhouette, neckline, and embroidery. The fashion designer's role is critical in bringing a bride's dream dress to life, making her feel confident and beautiful on her special day.
An Indian bride has a variety of options on her wedding dresses like sarees, bridal lehenga, lahenga sarees. Many brides choose a half saree over a saree or lehenga choli on receptions / previous day parties because this dress looks elegant and is far more practical and convienient. Wearing a saree or lehenga can be extremely time consuming and is difficult to manage on wedding day. Bridal lehenga's and sarees are heavy and hence the bride may require help in draping these. However a bridal salwar kameez is easy to wear and has a heavy kameez and dupatta, so the bride looks dressed according to the occassion. These days a bridal lehanga choli can be made in silk, georgette, faux, faux chiffon and tissue. All these fabrics are embellished in brocade applique work, patch work, thread embroidery, tie and dye, bead embroidery, multi coloured stone embroidery, zardosi work, mirror work or designs made with shells. These days more and more women are wearing a lehenga style saree because the outfit is really stylish. The benifit of wearing a designer lehenga saree is that the bride does not have to make pleats on the saree. The lehenga portion of the outfit can simply be worn like a skirt, just tuck in the loose end of the saree like a pallu. A saree despite of being old-outfit is still a favourite amoung women because it is sensuous, traditional and georgous. Theses days Indian sarees are available in a variety of materials like net, tissue, silk, chiffon, georgette amoung many others. These are ustav, stitched, cocktail, designer, art and kanjeevaram sarees to choose from. Each saree has its own distinct look.
