Bouncy curls and fresh makeup will work well with the summery look.
Embellished from Head-to-Toe
The intricate Kalidaar by the master couturier Sabyasachi, imitates a lehenga and owing to its regal look, will work well as a wedding ensemble for the bride. Owing to the detailed embroidery, the lehenga seems as if it has specks of colorful glitter all over it. If you’re a fan of all things sparkly and shimmery, then this is a good option for you. The tulle material and sheer drapes give the lehenga quite a feminine and structured look. Furthermore, you’ll be delighted to know that the outfit will not bog down the wearer as much as a conventional lehenga, which gives the ensemble major brownie points. Due to the heavy embellishments, go light on the jewellery so as to avoid a gaudy look.
