How to Choose Best Designer Lehenga (Quick Designer Lehenga Buying Guide)

1. Prepare your shopping list

Be clear whether you’re looking for a designer lehenga only for your big day or for other ceremonies & your bridal trousseau as well. Once you’ve done that, pen it down somewhere.

2. Know your budget

Allocate a separate budget for your designer lehenga(s). This way it’s easier to shortlist stores and designers that fit within your budget. 

3. Do thorough research

Skim through your favourite designer's latest collections and designs to get a vague idea of what is trending and what is not.

4. Understand your bridal style

While doing your elaborate homework, you’ll come across a lot of designs & designer lehengas that will instantly catch your fancy. Just make it a point you screenshot or save them somewhere to understand the kind of bridal style you have an inclination towards. 

5. Know your body type

One of the most important things you need to know when picking your designer lehenga is your body type. Know if you have a rectangular, oval or a pear-shaped body structure. According to your body shape know what draping style, blouse neckline and lehenga type are best suitable for you.

6. Pick a suitable colour

Don’t just blindly pick a red lehenga because most of the brides do. There are so many fresh colours our fashion connoisseurs come up with, every year. Be open to experimentation and make a bold bride on your big day. 

7. Take note of external factors (like the weather & lighting condition)

When choosing your bridal lehenga also ensure that you are taking weather & lighting conditions into consideration. Say if you’re planning for a winter wedding, opt for fabrics such as velvets and raw silks. However, if it’s a summer wedding stick to easy-breezy fabrics like chiffon, georgette, etc. Also, if it’s an indoor wedding, steer clear of dull hues & stick to vibrant shades. Whereas, for an outdoor wedding you can be as experimental as possible with the colour palette.

8. Always take enough trials (in case of readymade garments)

Before splurging on a readymade designer lehenga, don’t forget to take enough trials. Make sure the lehenga fits your body well and accentuates all your high points.
