Marriages in South Asia are not single-event celebrations. A series of honorary dinners for the bride and the bridegroom are held by close relatives and friends after the actual ceremony takes place. These after-wedding functions need special clothing in order to project the special bridal look. Today's brides (who are equipped with plenty of fashion sense, thanks to the media!) do not want to dress up like traditional queens. They want to look modern. My picks of these stylish bridal outfits are perfect, especially because these come in a range of unconventional colors. They are adorned with heavy embroideries, with modish cuts and forms, and include the trend setting shalwar or baggy trousers. The upcoming fashion trends in the South Asian bridal scene can be seen in these garments.
