And the wedding season is back!

A traditional Indian wedding is a unique experience - you will witness a wide array of food, rituals, vibrant colours and dances blended together in one long celebration. While there is no set dress code, as the bride you definitely don't want to look under-dressed at the various events.

Panic mode usually sets in when you realize that you have a wedding round the corner and that there is a lot to be done in very little time. What happens then? - You shop in a hurry, miss out on many things, lose track of time and end up feeling or looking incomplete! Before you go shopping here are a couple of things that you need to keep in mind.


· Keep it Comfortable: Considering weddings go on for a long time, make sure you choose the outfit you are most comfortable in.

· You are the Bride: You are going to be surrounded by bling. Weddings are a place where people prefer to wear more vibrant shades and showy fabrics. Do ensure your ensemble stands out amongst all your guests. If you prefer simple clothes, then you can compensate it with the accessories you choose!

· Colour it up: Choose the right color depending on the venue and time of the event. Try going for the colors that are eye-catching -Neon, Fuchsia or go for the classics such as Red and Gold.

With this being the start of the wedding season, we have some ensembles to inspire you!

Reception is ideally the best time to dress up in a trendy manner! We suggest you chose a Designer saree that has heavy stone work all through the saree or embroidery along the border of the pallu and match it with lightweight jewelry or try the opposite way- pair a plain saree with heavy jewelry.

                               

When it is time to tie the knot, go for the bold, bright and beautiful tradition outfit. After all, what is marriage without tradition? Also don’t hesitate to be dressy! When we mean dressy-choose the grand Silk Saree, pick the right jewellery, and wear just the right amount of make-up.


                               

So you want to try something fancy yet traditional for your Sangeet/ Cocktail party? Worry not; we have a design handpicked for you! These Readymade Suits are gorgeous and easy to wear. Perfect for you to let down your hair and dance the night away!

Pongal- Thamizhar Thirunal

Marking the end of Winter, Pongal signifies the start of Summer. It is celebrated for four days as a way of expressing gratitude to Nature. In a way, Pongal is the Indian Thanksgiving. Each of the 4 days is devoted to a different element of nature - on the 1st day Bhogi, the prayers are offered to Fire. On the 2nd day, the important element of nature, the Sun is worshiped. Farmers decorate and worship Cattle on the 3rd day. 4th day (Kaanum Pongal) is meant for Families to reunite and spend the day together.

Here are some of the traditions/customs followed during this festival!

-Cleaning the household: The first thing people do before this festival is cleaning their households. They discard clothes, utensils and other unnecessary household items. The idea behind this is to start new and fresh.

-Food: During Pongal, families gather to make the most delicious Pongal. The most authentic way to make Pongal is on a fire hearth using a clay pot, water, rice, sugar and other main ingredients. It is served on a banana leaf.

-Sugarcane: Another important custom during Pongal is eating sugarcane.

-Decorations: Families decorate the house with flowers, sugarcane and kolam before this festival. Kolam, which is made from rice powder, is a traditional decoration of South Indian homes.

-Men – Dhoti, an Indian traditional outfit especially worn by men on auspicious occasions and festivals. Apart from this Kurtas are also preferred by men. Elderly people go for angavastram.

Revamp your wardrobe this New Year!

There’s something about the the New Year or a change in season that makes everyone want a dramatic change in their wardrobe and looks. But you don’t have to make any big changes to reinvent your style. Smaller changes and a little knowledge about the upcoming trends can add up to a big impact.

Here are few upcoming trends in colour, fabric and prints to watch out for this year. They’re quick and inexpensive.

Colour:
Understated vivid hues, pastels shades and nature-inspired neutral shades are going to rule this season. From classic blue, browns, tangerine to aquamarine the color trends will have lots of variety.
Tinted Pastels: Color palette is going to be dominated by tinted pastels.
Orange is going to be the new black in the upcoming season. Get ready to witness shades of tangerine and coral, to crimson.
White: The versatile colour which is always in style is for those who love to play safe with colours.

Fabric:

Silks : Besides soft fabrics, this traditional fabric is going to rule the fabric charts in Spring/Summer 2015. We can witness many designers opting for silks in their designer collection this year.
Sheer: From chiffon saris to net lehengas the sheer fabric which once ruled the fashion world is back. Multiple layers of mixing and matching sheer fabric like net and lace is the new trend.

Embroidery & Embellishments:
Mirror Work, Sequins, Appliqué work, resham embroidery and Chintz inspired prints are trending in 2015. The floral embroideries and the kutch work embroidery can be seen adorning the saree borders this season.

Digital Prints:
The geometric patterns, tribal prints and illusionary prints are back with a bang. We can see the prints that are high on drama with a mix of prints and colors.
Floral prints never go out of fashion! Blooming prints, fine and delicate motifs, floral appliqué work and flower inspired designs never fail to impress the Indian fashion conscious women.

Jewelry & Accessories
Accessories this upcoming year is all about minimalism, saying that one can’t ignore the bling of jewelry. While last year nose rings ruled the jewelry trend, this year make way for stunning waist belts, ear cuffs and quirky headgears that elevate the style factor.

What to wear to a wedding?!!

     

 When one gets a wedding invite, the first thing that comes to mind is what to wear for the different events and how to look different from everyone else. Everything else takes a backseat and dressing gets to the fore front if it is a friend’s wedding! Here are some tips that might help you gear up for a wedding:

1. Your outfit should definitely represent your own personality and suit your age.

2. Teaming up with embellished blouses enhances the beauty of the saree.

3. For a pastel shade saree, a dark contrasting blouse will suit well.

4. A halter neck blouse will suit a sheer soft silk.

5. An ornamental blouse is all it takes to look opulent. Go for a stunning looking ornamental blouse that matches the saree.

6. Keep it simple with accessories when you go for a rich looking silk saree.

7. A clutch is a must, when you decide to be a showstopper. The colour and texture of the clutch should suit your clothes.

8. Matching footwear is also a must, to complete the look. Embellished and metallic shades are most preferred to pair with silk sarees and designer sarees.

9. Fish tail braids are very much in now. Sport one for a trendy look! Go with curls and waves for a plain saree for a perfect look!

10. Go for a heavy American diamond stone studded necklace for a simple saree and choose a long earring with a simple chain for a grand saree.

11. Eye makeup and your lipstick should rightly complement your saree colour. Never look made-up and always go for a subtle makeup.

12. Above all always carry a smile to enhance all that you are wearing!
