With the celebrity trends ruling the current fashion, weddings are not an exception. We as a culture simply love the idea of matrimony and the festivities that it includes. After all, the West was shocked by the revelation that Priyanka-Nick wedding celebrations were three days long. But we Indians know how to ‘live life large size’. Likewise, apart from the main wedding ceremony, it is the pre-wedding events that are fun-packed. The Haldi is one of the most exciting ones. This is the time when the Bride is adorned with the ‘beautification’ process of Haldi-paste application all over.
The idea is to enhance her beauty before her wedding day. But, the modern girl, today is a far cry from the times gone by; the Haldi is more like ‘her day’. This is the time to go crazy and have loads of fun before the final seriousness of Married life starts to dawn upon her. And why not, after all, weddings are all about eating, drinking, dancing and enjoying. Likewise, the Haldi looks for the bride is one of the most important aspects of the ceremony and it needs just as much attention. So, let us take a look at some of the latest Haldi looks for brides.
The classic Yellow Saree
This one never seems to get out of style. The purity and innocence of the young bride is showcased in the simple, cotton yellow Saree. Now, if you need to get a step ahead, you can very well style up this simple ensemble as well. Go ‘pure, raw, and ethnic’ with the Saree drape and lots of White Jasmine Flowers. Think ‘Shakuntala’ from Hindu mythology? Yes, we are talking about pure feminine beauty. For the added oomph, you can also team this with the half blouse and flower hand garland on the arms and wrists. Be sure to wrap your hair in long garlands of Jasmine flowers all over and also wear the ‘Anklet flower garland’ to complete the look. On yes, don forget your sunglasses!
Colours, Flowers, and Butterfly
You are the centre point of the Haldi ceremony and you better stand out. What better than a Lahenga that is a riot of colors. And a lot of colors at that. Take cues from the iconic Priyanka-Nick(again) Haldi ceremony and you know exactly what we are talking about. This could be a Lehenga that contains all the colors from the rainbow and more. You will be dancing and twirling and trust-us, you are going to look like a butterfly as you do so. The other look is that flower and butterfy ‘Cut-out’ outfit. Also known as the ‘3D’ in the fashion circle, this is one of the hottest trends around.
The look will have you appear as if ‘all nature’ is out there to give you a kiss! The lightweight ‘Flower jewellary’ is the perfect addition to complete the final look. If you want the freshness of the flowers to remain forever, go for the ‘readymade flower jewellary’ available in the market. These are available in various color combination along with ‘all-white as well’.
The Dress
Why stick to tradition when you can go ‘off-beat’? Well, surprise everyone around with your choice of the Yellow-themed dress for your Haldi. But we are thinking ‘Mirror and Embroidary’ fabric for the choice of your outfit. This could be a nice sleeveless silhouette with flowing skirts. All the better for the easy application of the beauty paste all over you.
Shorts, Dupatta
Practical and just perfect for the Haldi ceremony. Most young and modern Brides are opting for the Shorts-themed outfit for their Haldi for the obvious reasons. Of course, the idea is to stick to the ‘Yellow-colored tone’ for this outfit as well, and don’t forget the Flower Jewelry. Also, add a touch of Dupatta to make the elders happy as well.
Well, ladies, that’s it for now. These are some of the trendiest Haldi looks of the season. So, get your color on and pop up your shades! Dance, twirl and have fun as you have the tradition take a run at you.
