Padmavati- The Royal Magic
With the impressive musical tracks playing all over television and internet, Deepika has already cast her Padmavati magic spell everywhere. Her heavy lehenga cholis, intricately embellished with zardosi work, gota pattis and scintillating stones – in songs like Ghoomar – have the audience drooling. It’s undeniable that Deepika gracefully carries off her role as the heroic Rajput queen, but what has really caught on the fancy of viewers is her styling in the film. Taking cue from her regal looks, you can create your own magic by opting for a red or maroon lehenga for an upcoming wedding function. As a bride, heavy kundan jewellery will add a perfect royal touch while as a bridesmaid, a pair of heavy golden danglers and a heavy kada would be apt for the occasion!
And, it’s okay, if you don’t wish to go all red and scarlet. You can choose a relatively subtler and modish base – like the one shown in the image above.

The Bareily Bling
Kriti Sanon played the eponymous role of the peppy Bareily girl in 2017’s hit romantic-comedy Bareilly ki Barfi. While there was not a lot of grandeur to movie’s credit – but surely the everyday stylish Indian-wear did get a boost with the movie.
The well appreciated movie revived the trend of colouful patiala suits. Every Indian wedding has an array of pre-wedding functions like mehendi, Ganesh puja, haldi and a lot of rituals that involve dancing and socializing. To liven up your wardrobe, chuck those regular salwar suits and churidars and play-it-up in a vivacious Patiala suit. Also add colorful danglers and a few bangles to get that happening North-Indian look. Dance to the tunes of Bhangra and Bareily ki Barfi’s wedding songs – and cast a spell of wedding magic. An all-time favorite in this closet segment is the auspicious and vibrant Mustard yellow!

Slay it like Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya
Okay, let’s make an exception and take this movie that released early in 2017 – because there surely are many wedding dressing and ethnic styling lessons, you can take from this colorful fun film. Whether it’s the youngish, frothy vibe or the multi-hued lehengas sported by Alia Bhatt – Badrinath’s cute Dulhaniya or the foot-tapping wedding-ready dance numbers – there is just so much you can borrow – in terms of style lessons – from this movie. For example, the now much-in-vogue cold shoulder trend caught on big after this flick. And, how we love it!
Dressing up for weddings should be fun and that happens when your total wardrobe is sorted before-hand. Plan not just your outfits but also your jewellery, bags and shoes to avoid last minute chaos and remember, if you get stuck up with styling, Bollywood will always guide your way!
