Ladies! Check out 16 intricate, gorgeous and extravagant bridal lehengas by the talented Indian fashion designer- Vikram Phadnis
Indian designers are truly magnificent and amazingly creative. They can do so much with a piece of garment. From color coordination to embroidery work to using rich fabrics that represent the exact theme, now that is a lot of hard work. One such Indian designer who has contributed a lot to the fashion industry is Vikram Phadnis. He is the master mind behind the gorgeously extravagant Indian outfits worn by MalaikAmrita Rao, and Soha Ali Khan. Today, we bring to you 16 beautiful designer bridal lehengas by this ace fashion designer!
From his super hit collection Swades from 2013 which spoke of practicality and affordability mixed with ethnic India theme to his latest assortment of Indian bridal lehengas that was showcased at Renaissance Wedding Fair 2015, Phadnis is known to create a beautiful balance between fashionable, Indian and western designs.
His latest bridal collection represents intricate designs that were a true depiction of artistic thoughts and talent. The designer played around with gold sequence and elaborate floral motifs on thin nets and summery chiffons. The lehengas and other outfits were flowy, elegant and stylish.
The magical shades and hues of gold, beige, and cream with a dash of bright orange, sea green and pink clearly sent out the splendid message of revival. Besides, royalty was in the air.
To achieve the ‘renaissance splendor’ look for an upcoming wedding, here is what you can do with your hair and makeup:
- Long braided hair or a stylish updo with a hair accessory (could be a strand of fresh jasmine flower band or a couple of English roses in red/orange/pink).
- Opt for kundan and pearl jewellery to further enhance that ‘royal’ look. A mang tika can be an add-on.
- Go for bright makeup, pink or red lips, glittery eye makeup, mascara and winged eyeliner if the lehenga is in a subtle beige or cream.
- Nude makeup with subtle lip shades is recommended for a lehenga in bright colors or heavy embroideries.
The vibrant wedding lehenga collection by Vikram Phadnis is sure to a bride into a goddess. Also, this time, it isn’t just the glory of traditional red that should be considered. So, why not experiment a bit. This season, colors such as peacock blue, orange, crushed pink, gold tint, mauve, turquoise and green are also getting a much-needed attention. Today’s modern bride is ready to take that risk. Zikimo also recommends that a bride should embrace newer colors.
So all you lovely ladies out there, what is going to be your bridal statement?

20 Gorgeous Indian bridal sarees inspired by South India
Take a look at 20 gorgeous silk sarees inspired by South India. This winter, try them out and look gracefully stylish!
Now that the summer wedding season has nearly come to end and in no time, we shall all be gearing up for the beautiful winter wedding season, so why not try out something equally attractive for that time? I love plain silk sarees with booties or golden borders. Besides, silk is my first choice for winters. It is graceful, comes in gorgeous colors, has lovely embroidery and that makes it extremely popular within the category of sarees. And, the Indian wedding time is all about flaunting bright colors, wearing an extra dash of glitter, looking glamorously festive. That’s why today, Zuri brings to you 20 elegant Indian bridal sarees that draw their inspiration from South India.
There are mainly 4 types of silks: (i) Mulburry, (ii) Muga, (iii) Tussore, and (iv) Eri silk. Of all the states/cities that specialize in silk sarees, southern part of India tends to dominate! Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu are the major hubs of Indian silk industry. The traditional silk sarees like the Kanjeevaram sarees, Konrad sarees, Mysore silk sarees, Pochampally Ikat sarees, etc. are the high-end creations that reflect the true craftsmanship of artisans. If you are the bride-to-be, we highly recommend atleast one silk saree in your wedding trousseau. It is a timeless piece that can be passed on from one generation to another. Even if you happen to be the bridesmaid for an upcoming wedding, do try out this wonderful garment. You can obviously drape it in a unique fashion. Maybe go for a halter neck or a backless blouse. And if you are the mother/mother-in-law of our pretty bride, then South Indian silk saree is ideal attire for the wedding day!
If you are planning to shop for just the right South Indian silk saree for yourself, then here are a few points to remember:
1. Kancheepuram saree is known its innovative color contrasts. What makes it stand out from other varieties is the ‘motif’ it embodies. Pyramidical temple borders, checks, stripes and floral “booties” are traditional designs you will find in a traditional Kancheepuram saree. The reason why a Kancheepuram saree is expensive is for it requires interlocking of 3 differently woven cloths. The border, body, and pallu are woven separately and later joined together.
2. Mysore saree is known for its vivacious color theme and represents a minimalistic theme. This silk is easy to wear and super-versatile.
3. Konrad saree has a wide border and motifs based on Indian deities. But, these days they also come characterized by paisleys, peacocks, and elephants.For an ultimate festive look, you can go for mehndi design with similar motifs. Browns, gray and off-whites are the traditional colors of these sarees. 
When dressing up in South Indian saree, do make sure to go bold with your eye makeup. Pick from the best eyeliner style that suits your eye shape, wear a lot of kajal and don’t underestimate the power and strength of voluminous eyelashes, all thanks to our gracious mascara. Go for glittery eyeshadow. You can match your lips with the base color of your saree. Orange, pink, red, brown.. And, opt for an updo with a bit of a twist. Don’t forget to accessorize your hair. If you want to leave you hair open, then go for central parting. Aren’t you looking hot?

25 Stylish lehengas inspired by summer motifs
Put on summer motifs and look glamorous this season with any of those 25 fashionable lehengas which can be impressed by mangos, summer season flowers and pastel plains
Summer time comes with its personal model of vogue. The climate calls for that the material, colours and motifs- all mirror the spirit and essence of summer time. We at Zikimo now discover how summer time interprets into lehengas.
The most important, most noticeable issue about summer time lehengas is the floral cues. Whether or not it’s by way of print, embroidery, motifs and even borders, a floral contact is without doubt one of the most raging traits on the subject of summer lehengas. What’s nice is that although the motifs used fairly western of their execution, they sit very effectively with the georgette/chiffon fabric that’s used to create this quantity. Choose a lehenga with stable colour blocks because the choli and lehenga and simply drape a ravishing floral dupatta on high to get that excellent picturesque impact. Most different motifs are both flower or mango inspired.
Summer colors are simple, pastel and muted. Let your chosen motifs stand out and do the job whereas sporting an off-white, subdued lehenga. Distribute the a lot-wanted loudness of Indian weddings all throughout a plain, pastel background. The problem is to make use of these colours curiously. Decide a mint or an aqua as an alternative of a light-weight blue, a metal gray as an alternative of a boring gray and a blossom pink as an alternative of a scorching pink in order that the motifs are the hero.
A fast have a look at this yr’s traits has informed us that summer time lehengas needn’t be as full-bodied because the festive winter ones we’re typically used to. A method assertion is feasible even with lehengas which have a lesser physique and cleaner, neater cuts. Go for a silver strapless bodice and a lovely ivory lehenga with silver studded motifs for an ideal sister-of-the-bride/groom lehenga for a reception party. It’s stylish, elegant and so completely ethereal. Briefly, it’s all the pieces a summer season lehenga must be!
For the true vogue devotees, Sabyasachi’s T-shirt lehenga hybrids are a category aside. The choli is made to resemble a striped T-shirt and the lehenga is a full bodied floral kaleidoscope. It’s whacky, loopy however so surprisingly alluring on the similar time. This can be a nice possibility for a brunch cocktail social gathering throughout the marriage ceremony festivities.
Choose your lehenga in line with the type of marriage ceremony perform and the time of day. If there’s a number of out of doors exercise or dancing (for example if the baraat will probably be coming at 12 midday), choose an ethereal however sophisticated lehenga that may maintain you snug however stylish on the similar time. All the time keep in mind to attempt your lehenga on with heels so that you could choose your look completely.

10 Beautiful Indian brides in their gorgeous bridal lehengas
We have brought you a few brides who have created and crafted the perfect bridal look for themselves with their bridal lehengas
A bride plans every single detail of the biggest day of her life and a lot of it revolves around her outfit. The bridal lehenga can transform your day from everyday to wedding day and that’s why it’s so important to get it right. We have brought you a few brides who have created and crafted the perfect bridal look for themselves with their bridal lehengas.
It’s good to see that the bridal world has stopped revolving around the color red. When used creatively, it can work wonders. In most cases these days, red can make your lehenga look like any other bride’s. What’s so different about these reds, you ask? They are used gorgeously, so much so that you will never forget the lehenga or the bride. Whether it is a long lace sleeve, with a larger than life ghagra or complementary colors, these brides have chosen the red lehenga that’s as distinct and as beautiful as themselves.
Pairing with blue seems to be an overwhelming choice for brides wearing red lehengas. An ethereal, deep blue choli paired with a red and orange ghagra make for a bride who is traditional but willing to experiment at the same time. The hemline design on the dupatta or the front of the ghagra, this blue makes for a great choice for an evening or late night wedding. It’s not too bright, but the heavy gold work creates a princess like effect.
Some brides are willing to sway from the usual red, to colors that suit them better and are perfect for making a bridal fashion statement. My favorite is Soha’s gold lehenga-sari, with the burnt orange drape on her head. Nothing is more regal than the color gold, and Soha wears it with grace and elegance that’s rarely ever seen before. While it is not so bling that it hurts the eye, it attracts attention and keeps it there. Other brides are seen in peaches and pinks – the colors of the season. If you have the body type for it, there’s nothing more stunning than a pink or a peach lehenga. The work on the lehenga is heavy and bridal enough to leave no doubt in the minds of the guests as to who the bride is, while the outfit is so classy and different, that the little girls will be making notes for their big day.
The cut and flow of the lehenga is entirely dependent on your body type. You can choose a longer, corset choli to hide any bulges, or simply opt for a high waist ghagra. Most brides prefer sleeves on their wedding days, and why not? Even a small cap sleeve can go a long way in making your arms look shapely and slimmer in photos. Not to appear too demure, you can opt to be a little daring with your neckline and your back.
Whatever we may do on other days, our wedding day has to be the day when we look our best. This comes from awareness. So learn what colors, cuts and drapes suit your skin tone, body type and wedding theme to create a lehenga that’s a concoction of perfection.

You know why I like spring and summer weddings? It is because I like to dress up comfortably. With the outdoor setup during spring time and pleasant summer nights, one gets to dress up stylishly as well as with an ease. From revitalizing signature cocktails to the fragrance of spring and summer flowers, the entire ambiance of a summer wedding is so beautiful. As for the dressing, I do feel that it requires a little less effort. For pre-wedding ceremonies, outfits in lighter fabrics, even cotton works well. As for the wedding day, one can wear a designer saree, suit, an indo-fusion dress or a lehenga in chiffon, georgette, crepe and other summer-skewed fabrics. Besides, with the arrival of the summer season, all of a sudden we have so much more flesh on display 😉

For the wedding, pick up a lehenga choli in rich shades and fabric. Go for a beautiful and unique combination of peach and baby blue. Dupatta with lace borders on all the 4 sides and zardosi booties all over. To add grace, the skirt could have lace borders in peach at the bottom.

Inspiration behind Sabyasachi lehenga
Take a look at some of the finest bridal lehengas and read on to know what inspires this design genius to come up with such gorgeous Indian outfits!
Early this year, Soha Ali Khan, popular film actress and the youngest daughter of Sharmila Tagore and veteran cricket player Late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi got married in Mumbai. The bride looked beautiful in glistening gold lehenga. She looked stunning that was a part of his latest Opium collection launched pretty recently.
Well! Who doesn’t know Sabyasachi Mukherjee? India’s famous fashion designer who graduated from National Institute of Fashion Technology in the summer of 1999 has been responsible for revolutionizing the entire ethnic fashion scene of India. Over the years, he has been able to successfully create a legacy in Indian traditional styling. Besides, Mukherjee has also been able to build a clothing brand which has a strong social outlook and overall presence. The year 2004 was an extremely fruitful year for this creative gentleman.
His label started selling internationally in 2006, right after he showcased the gorgeous Spring Summer collection’07 at New York Fashion Week. Year later, Sabyasachi participated at the London Fashion Week.
The most remarkable initiative executed by any Indian designer so far is the one by Sabyasachi. The revival of old world charm of Indian’s prestigious garment. That’s right! A saree. Under the project, “Save the Saree”, on behalf of the weavers of Murshidabad, Sabya sells hand-woven Indian sarees on a non-profit basis. Besides, he has been the sole reason, why Banarsi, cotton, silk, velvet and khadi fabrics have made a major comeback.
Mukherjee has also been able to contribute a lot to cinema in India. Whether it is Vidya Balan at Cannes Film Festival or Aishwarya Rai for the Bvlgari event, Sabya’s well-sorted, phenomenal Indian-ethnic designs are extremely celebrated not just in Bollywood circuit but, equally talked about amongst Hollywood stars as well.
Sabyasachi draws his inspiration from Indian aesthetics. He is known to twist a piece of fabric into a piece of art. His bridal lehengas in particular, are inspired by golden period and the ancient era. Glitter and lace of 1920’s grandeur, the modern day maharani look, the royal vintage pre-independence aura or the quintessential boho-chic, intellectual Bengali rebel. These looks break all geographical boundaries. According to him, music and aroma are the 2 biggest inspirations behind his creativity. Somehow, he is able to capture and portray a reflection of Bengal through his work. It is because he lived, drank and only swallowed Bengal while he was growing up. So, it was natural for him to paint those memories in his own version.
Sabyasachi’s wedding lehengas are perfect for a big, fat Indian wedding! The use of rich fabrics and vibrant colors with a layer of astounding and gleaming embellishments is what an Indian bride usually prefers for her big day. Some of his latest bespoke collections are truly an epitome of antique supremacy. Extensive zardozi, resham, and sequins work on soft pinks, peaches, creams, beige, mints and a pop of bright red, ink blue and envious green. Summery floral prints, full-sleeve blouse, deep necks, brocades and complex embroidery. All this defines an Indian princess in a Parisian setup.
Now, there you go, you beautiful bride. Stay inspired just like the legend. Carry the charm created by Sabyasachi in a mystical way.

So, take a look at some of the best and latest Pakistani suits with summer-cool prints, beautiful patterns, intricate threadwork and embroidery patchwork.
From cottons to chiffons, the summer fabric in light as well as bright shades and hues is not just comfortable to wear but looks equally stylish if it fits well. This summer, lace, asymmetrical kurta length, fuchsia pink, creams, and whites are going to rule. The emphasis is also a lot on lowers. A loose shirt, long kurta or a super long kurta teamed up with loose plazzos, ghagra or sharara style pants is going to set the trend. Pakistani suits with fitted and straight pants look ultra-gorgeous on short height women and summer’2015 brings good news for tall women as well!

Get ready to look stunning in the ‘in-vogue’ Pakistani shararas.
Here are a few basics of a Pakistani suit. Zikimo recommends you keep these points in mind when making a purchase:
- Pakistani suits are characterized by embroidery, the more the intricate the threadwork, the better the quality of the suit.
- The surface elaboration is what defines a good Pakistani suit, so, that’s why the silhouette is meant to be very basic and is usually done in calmer palette of colors.
- Because of the complexity of this suit (since it is an ensemble of varied patterns and fabrics), try and stick to shades and hues such as emerald green, maroon, black and dark blue. These colors tend to enhance the embroidery.
- As compared to regular kurtas that can be short, knee-length and long, the straight-cut Pakistani shirts/kurtas are longer and make you look taller and slimmer.
- If you are tired of churidaar-pajamis and uninteresting salwars which have been done to death, then opt for a Pakistani suit with shararas, ghagra (for festive occasions) or straight pants (for casual events and everyday wear).
- Pakistani suits are loose and airy. Since fabrics used are mostly light lawn cotton, they can easily hide your flab and flatter every Indian figure.
So, get ready to look sophisticated and fashionable this summer with the trendy Pakistani suits of your styles and colors. Go for a pair of long earrings or jhumkis and wear your hair in a braided bun or leave them loose. Put on a shade of summer on lips and nails and keep your eyes bright and smokey. There you go, you summer lady! Eyes are on you.
