Bright Colours: When you’re happy and festive, you automatically choose bold and vibrant colours when picking your outfits for festivals and weddings. This year has its own Favourites. Orange, Purple, Hot Pink, Deep blue and Deep Red are the go to colours for your Lehengas, Sarees and Anarkali’s this year.

    

Bling (In the right amount) :  Bing, if used in the right amount and right areas, can elevate your outfit. Here’s How. Use bling on parts of your body, you would want to highlight in your Outfit. For Example : Add Bling to the Sleeves of your Anarkali, if you want to accentuate your well toned Arms.

Dressing as per your Body: Most of us dream of a Body, we wish to have and do everything possible to achieve it, be it dieting, working out for hours in the Gym. But, while we are trying to get to our Goal, We Should also celebrate the body that we have at present. Starting of which is, by Styling right according to our Body. Wearing something that will enhance the right areas and hide the wrong ones ( Work in Progress ).

Right Accessories : There’s a Saying ” Too Many cooks spoil the Dish”. Similarly, too much or the wrong accessories will spoil the styling of the Outfit. Therefore it is very important to balance the outfit. Go for Minimal , when there is a lot happening in the Outfit itself. Small Earrings or a Bracelet will do. But, if the Outfit needs to be elevated with the Accessories, Opt for some unique Pieces of Jewellery, which bring out the Fashion Element in Your Outfit. Sharing with you some pictures of Accessories that i Like.

   

Makeup and Hairstyling:  Festive Fashion stays incomplete without the right kind of Makeup and Hairstyling. Embellish your Outfit with the Right kind of Makeup and Hairstyle.

Well Defined Eye Makeup stays a Favourite among the Indian Girls, as Liners and Kajal’s are and will stay one of the most element in the Indian Makeup. Balance your look, by going subtle on the Eyes and Bold with your Lipstick. Red and Hot Pink Lips are a rage this year.

Last but definitely not the least, is the most important element in your styling, your Hairstyle. Choosing the right kind of hairstyle as per your face is important, but more important is to have a hair do which is in vogue, too. Curls with Bouffants, Side Buns, Twisters with Curls are amongst the Favourite Hairstyles, this festive season.

Celebrate the Bride: Couture Week Style

They Say ” Marriages are made in heaven” , which i believe is very true, as every bride reminds me of an Angel, while she walks down the aisle dolled up for her D day.

There is a lot of hard work, planning and preparation that goes into making this bride look, the way she should. Every Year, the Fashion industry has a lot of Responsibility on their shoulders, to introduce collections that make the bride look Celebratory and Spectacular.

Every Girl dreams to be the most Beautiful Bride, since she is a child, and the Dream comes true when events like PCJ Couture Week are conducted where the Best in Fashion Industry, bring about a collection which is even better than your dream.

Fashion is something which is used to express yourself through your Clothes, Accessories and Makeup. It means different, when you’re an Indian Bride. She expresses her self through her Cultural heritage, which demands certain outfits. Designers at the PCJ realised this and have brought about a culture which has the best of both worlds. its an amalgamation of the modern and the ancient india.

I feel very inspired and excited to be writing about this blog and sharing my views with you, as this is something that i relate myself to. I am proud to be born in a Country where weddings are larger than life. Its  a Carnival, with days of Celebrations and never ending Ceremonies.
