Lehenga Buying Tips

Lehenga is one of the most favorite wedding attire for most the Indian brides. A lehenga traditionally consists of three parts namely, lehenga or ghaghra (full length skirt), a choli (fitted top or bodice) and the odhini or dupatta(veil). All these three parts are co-ordinated in the best possible manner to make the bride look perfect on her D-day. The colors, the designs, the style, every single thing has to be in synchronization with each other because then only this particular bridal attire can create the actual dazzling effect.

There are a couple of pointers which can help one pick up the right kind of lehenga. Some of which are discussed below. Check them out:


-The first thing which needs to be remembered while buying a lehenga is the budget. One should first fix a budget and then try finding a lehenga which suits the budget. This would help to keep the expenses in track and not make one end up blowing an unjustified amount on a lehenga.

-If you are getting a lehenga designed, then try and spend ample amount of time with the designer to provide him with a fair idea of the kind of lehenga you are looking for.

-Make sure the fabric used in lehenga is decent enough as at times the fabric quality is not prioritized while designing a lehenga.

-The lining used in the skirt has to be strong and comfortable enough to carry the weight of the heavy embroidery done on the skirt. Satin or any other soft fabric makes wonderful lehenga linings.

-Make sure that the embroidery etc. done on the outfit does not hamper the movement of your arms etc. or hurt the skin in any whichever way. At times the embroidery under the arm on the bodice hurts the skin and hampers the movement of hands. Thus, it should be checked well before making a purchase or getting a lehenga designed.

Tips for a Perfect Summer Wedding Lehenga!

This year summer weddings have been on the rise- with the rising temperature, of course! The all “heavy” wedding lehengas in red and other bright colors are really a “put off” (not the sober soothing red lehenga if you prefer that) for any bride-to-be. So, what is the perfect wedding lehenga like for a summer wedding? Whatever it be- it should be elegant, minimalistic in nice soothing colors- may be pastels (a modernistic deviation from the traditional red color!) Here are some more tips for you to get a comfortable and perfect summer wedding lehenga!

• Select a wedding lehenga that is something soft and delicate and not too heavy. For this, consider the fabric of lehenga and, of course, the color too!
• If you fear that light fabrics will mar the spirit of your wedding lehenga, just choose a fabric that has rich looks but are otherwise lighter to wear such as organza and satin.
• Summer is the time when you can completely justify the strapped backless choli with your wedding lehenga. Just be a little trendy and go for it!
• Be careful about matching your wedding jewelery with your lehenga. If you are wearing gold jewelery, a lehenga choli with sequins, swaroski and silver will look odd.
• Two of the most trendy colors for this season's wedding lehengas are pink and sober gold. You can well go for them. If pink is not your choice of color nor is red then do some experiment and go for a combination of pink and red wedding lehenga. A sober gold lehenga with sequins is glamorous without being loud.
