The Engagement

The engagement is a very important celebration because that is where you actually seal the deal with your significant other. It should then be no short of a stylish party and for that Sara Ali Khan's Manish Malhotra lehenga should be your go-to style inspiration. A modern meets traditional lehenga is always a cocktail ready pick that will ensure one can spot the bride from a distance and still allow you to dance away the night. You can opt for a blouse with a plunging neckline and a heavily embellished jewellery set like the star to put a ring on it followed by a cocktails and dinner function.

The Mehendi

The mehendi marks one of the most important wedding functions of a girl's wedding celebration. This is the event when you're the star of the show all by yourself and to embark on this colourful journey you should dress the part. Think bright colours and mirror work, think Ananya Panday's gorgeous Anita Dongre lehenga for your mehendi outfit. This outfit will make you stand out from the crowd for its vibrant colour while you can experiment with a heavily embroidered blouse and floral jewellery.

The Haldi

Over the recent years, the haldi ceremony is no longer a dull affair but a rather stylish one. Gone are the days when you wore a simple suit only for it to get dirty and disposed for your haldi ritual. Ditch the regular suits for a bright yellow saree as is customary for the bride to wear this auspicious colour. Channel your inner sunshine girl like Janhvi Kapoor in Manish Malhotra saree for a bridal ready look for this special day.

Priyanka Chopra

She chose a tone-on-tone lehenga from Sabyasachi that unlike most traditional lehengas was contemporary at best and yet looked strikingly beautiful. She chose heavy traditional jewellery to go with but you can choose to wear something lighter.

Anushka Sharma

Well of course, what is a summer wedding without some floral fun now is it? Anushka Sharma too picked a Sabyasachi lehenga but she chose a blush pink lehenga with traditional floral motifs that still gave her the best of both worlds.

The Reception

Did you actually think the wedding celebrations are over? The reception is as grand an affair as the rest of the wedding functions are. The reception is where you can experiment with different silhouettes and still keep things ultra-glamourous. Kajal Aggarwal's fishtail gown for instance is a classic example. She wore her share of ethnic wear only to ditch the styles for a contemporary champagne coloured Falguni Shane Peacock ensemble that looked magnificent with simple hair and makeup.

Destination Wedding

Destination weddings can be a breeze if you know just how heavy you want your outfit to be. While the aforementioned functions are underlying to a destination wedding as well, it allows you to experiment with free flowing silhouettes. Take cues from Shraddha Kapoor to be the ultimate mermaid even in a lehenga for a beach wedding. Her Rahul Mishra pick looked stellar by the beach and we're sure that you won't travel that far only to be bogged down under heavy wedding lehengas, right?

If you're a summer bride and fear that the sweltering heat will sweat out your dreams of becoming the ultimate summer bride, then fear no more with these Bollywood looks.
