  • Accessories: Keep your accessories simple to complement dresses of bright colors. If you are opting for a soft pastel bridal dress, consider metallic accessories.
  • Body Type: If you have an hourglass body type, go for bridal dresses that hug your curves. A pear body shape can wear a silhouette dress, and a triangle-shaped body can go for dresses with more embellishments for a more balanced look.
  • Fabric: Choose a dress with breathable and durable fabric. Satin and georgette are good options for all seasons.
  • Design: If your bridal dress is simple and minimal, pair it with jewelry of contrasting colors, while the heavily embellished bridal dresses can be paired with gold, silver, or minimal colors.

20 Best Manish Malhotra Bridal Collection (Lehenags & Dress)

1. Deepika Padukone Wearing Red Off Shoulder Lehenga Choli

Manish Malhotra’s 2016 Couture collection was a visual extravaganza. He had stunning tales to tell, and took inspiration from Persian architecture. The scarlet lehenga, which was cut asymmetrically, had exuberant gold threaded work. The off-shoulder red blouse added to the charm. The Polki choker and chignon updo go well with the dress, and you can copy the look completely for your D-day as it is.

2. Alia Bhatt Wearing Red Embroidered Lehenga

Alia once said, “You’re not a star unless you wear Manish Malhotra.” Well, we agree! The 21-year-old killed it with confidence on the ramp in this lehenga. The heavily embroidered red skirt skillfully balances out the short red choli that has a plain bodice, scoop neck, and work on the sleeves. The nude and dainty dupatta with sequin border complement the rest of the outfit perfectly. If you are a bride who is inclined towards a traditional yet modern looking dress – this is an excellent choice.
