The Minimalist’s lehenga
Ditch your traditional reds and opt for toned-down colours to keep your look fresh and contemporary. Choose a material that is lightweight yet elegant enough, with just the right amount of stonework and bling for the bridal flavour.

Yet another quintessential part of the bride is the jewellery. Do it right the new way by replacing your chunky jewellery with light pieces that define your style and speak with elegance and panache.
Chokers are the way to go
Ditch that heavy statement necklace and go for a light timeless choker. It looks both pretty and minimal.

Do it right with a heavy neckpiece
If you cannot seem to let go of that stunning grand neckpiece, opt for another attention-grabbing piece of jewellery. Choose either a pair of earrings or a mathapatti or a heavy nath to team up with your necklace.

All gold
You can’t go wrong with gold jewellery cuz it's timeless. You could either go for an all gold set or the one with gemstones embedded in it for the right amount of pop.

Taking inspiration from Anushka Sharma’s wedding day look, you can opt for a barely-there, natural makeup look.Line the eyes with simple black kohl and some mascara while keeping the lip shade nude. A hint of pink blush and highlighter renders her a fresh dewy look which is perfect for a day wedding.

If you wish to grab everyone’s fancy with your makeup without looking too lavish, go for a pretty yet minimal eye-makeup. Liven things up by going for a non-fussy smoky eye. Apply a generous coat of mascara on your lashes and remember to keep the rest of your face matte.

Be sure to brew some magic with a regal makeup like so. Highlight your cheekbones with a shimmery bronzer and slap on some bronze eyeshadow with a tinge of gold. use an eyeliner for the drama and go for a toned down shade, preferably nude, for the lips. Just the perfect amount of glow you need for a day wedding!
