Why I Chose A Light Lehenga For Engagement

At the time when my wedding got fixed, there was a flurry of activity – everyone seemed to be busy with something and as an only child, I was well aware of the fact that I too would have to take on some serious roles in the wedding preparations. There was so much planning to do for the wedding and all the ceremonies that surround a wedding; but before I could reach the wedding planning, there was the engagement. I was pretty sure that no one would accept me choosing lightweight wedding lehengas, because after all, the lehenga has to look wedding-worthy, but I was quite hopeful that I would get away with something lighter for the engagement. 

Because the engagement was being planned at a smaller and a much quieter level, I knew that I wouldn’t be expected to get extremely decked up. Truth be told, I am not the type of person who likes to dress up in extremely heavy clothes. I like to be able to feel comfortable and move with ease, in whatever I am wearing. So, I wanted to have an outfit for my engagement that would allow me to look good, without having to compromise on comfort and ease of movement. Thankfully, I knew that at IndiaEmporium I could have my cake and eat it too! I knew that this was the place where I would be able to find the most stylish lehenga for engagement and in case I didn’t find something I truly loved, I could get it designed. 

When I went online, I was able to find several stunning lehengas, each better than the other, but there was nothing that was meeting what I had in mind. I had once seen this lehenga in a bridal magazine in the lightest shade of pink; created using organza and satin, this lehenga had just wisps of embroidery and had looked absolutely gorgeous on the model wearing it in the magazine. That outfit had somehow stuck in my mind, and I knew that I wanted something like that for my engagement too. Not only would it be the perfectly light lehenga for engagement, it would also be the perfect look for my fairy tale like wedding. 

So, I decided that because I had time in my hands, I would get my dream lehenga designed through IndiaEmporium. I spoke at length with the design team and told them about the type of pink I was looking for, the type of fabrics I was envisioning and how light I wanted the work to be. I have to tell you, the design team at IndiaEmporium are nothing short of geniuses, because not only were they able to locate the exact pink I wanted, they also found it in organza and satin. The designer suggested that I go for a satin underskirt that was one shade darker as it would create contrast. They emailed me samples of the most delicate embroidery and bead work, that I fell completely in love with. 

Within about three days, I had the basic sketch of what my outfit would look like and I absolutely loved it. A few days later, I received yet another email which had a swatch of what the embroidery work would look like – it was a delicate vine like design with small pearls and it just worked so well against the pink fabric. Right in front of my eyes, through multiple emails, I could see my outfit coming to life and it was even better than I could have imagined. A few days before my engagement, I received this large package – it was my stunning lehenga, carefully packaged and in perfect condition. The lehenga fit me like a dream and completed my fairy tale vision. 

If you too are looking for an engagement lehenga for Indian bride, my suggestion is that you look at IndiaEmporium, because they offer one of the widest range of bridal outfits online. And while there will be those who will feel a little sceptical about shopping online, I would tell them to try out IndiaEmporium once, because this is easily the best shopping experience ever! And in case you don’t find something you like, here, you could always get it created, just for you! 

How I Found The Perfect Mehndi Outfits For Bridesmaids At My Wedding!

Getting married is supposed to be a wonderful time in your life, but when I was about to get married, little did I know that it would become the most stressful time of my life. There was simply so much to do – right from choosing the wedding venue to what kind of flower decorations would adorn the venue. And it was not just the wedding that I had to think about; there were the innumerable ceremonies that were going to come before and after the actual wedding and there was so much to do for all of them as well. 

The first events that I needed to handle were the sangeet and mehndi – and what made it all so much more difficult was that mine was going to be the typical big fat wedding and every ceremony of the wedding was going to be huge. Six of my dearest friends were also going to be a part of all the wedding festivities, but to add to my woes, all of them were in different cities and would be arriving just in time for the festivities. That meant that I had to arrange for their sangeet and mehndi lehenga dress too, in addition to my own outfits. 

What was interesting in all of this was that my dearest friends wanted outfits that were colour coordinated with mine and although they wanted outfits that looked similar, none of them wanted to be caught or more importantly, photographed, in the same outfit. This meant that I had to either walk in and out of several stores, trying to find seven outfits that were in the same colour combination, but still different or I could hire a designer and ask them to create seven outfits for three wedding related events that were just the way we wanted them to be. That is when someone suggested that I consider looking at sangeet and mehndi dresses online. 

I am a modern woman and I do a lot of shopping online, but when it came to picking out expensive and exquisite dresses such as those for a wedding or mehendi, I have to say I was a little apprehensive. However, when I went online on IndiaEmporium, I have to say, I was in for a really pleasant surprise. The range of outfits they had was immense and truly incredible – they had outfits for every type of occasion and also every type of price range. This was like a shopper’s paradise and I knew that I would most certainly find my sangeet lehenga online here, but one was not going to be enough, because my friends also needed outfits. 

Being the bride, I was not being very choosy, but I most certainly was not willing to wear the same outfit that my friends were going to be wearing. I mean, wearing a similar colour was one thing, but I was the bride; I had to stand out! I thought I would use the chat option to ask them if they could help me in this situation. Little did I know that I was about to head to something even better than a ‘shopper’s paradise’ – at IndiaEmporium, you can actually hire the services of a professional designer and get your outfit created, the way you want!

When I told them that I was looking for sangeet and mehndi outfits for my bridesmaids, they almost immediately understood what it was that I had in mind and starting sharing ideas at me. They helped me out with colour palettes, fabrics that I could consider and of course what kind of work would look good on the lehengas. The designer I chatted with, told me that I could have seven outfits, each different from the other, but yet similar. I asked her if she could give me an idea of how that would work out and within a few days, she sent me sketches of all the outfits – they all looked different, yet there was something similar in all of them and I fell in love with all of them. 

Not only was I kept in the loop, through emails, all the time, I also got to see the entire set of outfits coming to life. And when they finally arrived, they were absolutely incredible and me as well as my best friends looked stunning! 

Staying In Line With The Bridal Lehenga Trends 2019 The Easy Way!

There are those who like to dress up when there is a special occasion, and then there are those who live for fashion. For those who belong to the second category, there is nothing more important than looking good, every time they step out. This is the generation of people who survive on fashion brands and trends and live for looking stunning on social media. So, when someone from this category of people is all set to be a bride, you can just about imagine that just any party wear lehenga choli will not do for them. 

For a fashion conscious bride to be, her wedding trousseau is perhaps the most important aspect of the entire wedding for her. She will spend days, weeks and months, trying to figure out exactly what her trousseau should look like. She will want a mix of traditional and fusion wear and she will want a wardrobe that is distinct and stylish. She will spend an immense amount of time trying to figure out what the latest trends are, because for her, the biggest failure would be being photographed in something that is out of fashion or not on point with the latest trends. If she is a smart fashionista, chances are that she will already be researching bridal lehenga trends of 2019. 

Now there are those who rely on fashion magazines, online shopping websites or even fashion channels on television or online for all their updates. While these are all great ways to stay updated, the true diva is one who creates her trend, within what is happening currently. The true fashionista will know what works for her – her skin tone, her body type and the occasion for which she is getting dressed up. Such a bride to be will not be happy with a traditional lehenga or saree; she will want something that makes her stand apart and something that keeps people talking on social media for a long time. The smart bride of today, knows that while lehenga choli online shopping might not sit right with the older generation, it is right up the alley for the new one. 

While there are several people who are quite against the thought of shopping online, but the fact of the matter is that shopping online is a great idea – not only do you get to shop from wherever you are, you often get a lot more in terms of choice, you also often get better deals than retail stores. And today, with a website like IndiaEmporium, online shopping is perhaps the best option because not only do you get the latest fashion trends at the best rates, you also get to hire a designer and get your own outfit created. Let’s say you have looked through some party wear lehenga designs, but nothing has really caught your eye – you like the colour of one lehenga, but the work done on another is what has caught your attention. If you have fallen in love with the fabric used in one lehenga, it could be the silhouette of another that you are visualising on yourself. At IndiaEmporium, all this is possible, because this is one of the only online shopping portals that allows you to hire a designer and get your outfit created, the way you want. 

When you come to IndiaEmporium, you get to talk to a design team and tell them what it is that you want – you discuss aspects such as what the occasion it is that you need the outfit for, what time of the year it will be, what kind of colours and colour combinations you like and so on.

Once you signed off on the design, the team will set to work, sourcing the finest material, including fabric and beads, stones and threads. At every step of the way, you will be sent emails with images of how your outfit is coming to life and before you know it, your stunning couture outfit will be ready. The moment it’s ready, it will be carefully packed and shipped to your doorstep. 

Dreaming Of That Designer Bridal Lehenga? Make That Dream Come True!

My best friend is getting married in early March and even though the wedding date is a while away, she is already turning into a bridezilla! The problem is that although she has delegated a whole lot of tasks to her family and closest friends, she still wants to be involved in everything and by ‘involved’, I mean, she wants to decide everything and she wants to be the one doing all the talking and selecting. So obviously, not a lot is getting done! 

And in between all this, she also wants a stunning designer bridal lehenga, as would be the case with any bride to be. The problem is that she has taken on so much, that she is struggling to find the time to actually meet a designer and make them understand the vision of her dream lehenga that she has been walking around with in her head, all this time. The other day, when she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, I decided to step in and play the role of a good friend – the one who would come to her aid, in her time of need. That was the day, I told her about the fashion wonderland known as IndiaEmporium. 

When my sister was getting married last year, she had chosen to drop all the hassles of store shopping and her gotten not only her wedding lehenga, but also the outfits of most of the family members, the online way, through IndiaEmporium. I was pretty sure that my friend would find all the latest lehenga designs 2019 for wedding and she would be saved so much time and energy. Perhaps the single greatest thing about getting your wedding lehenga or your wedding related attires from IndiaEmporium is that you are saved the trouble of having to go physically each time – as long as you are connected to the internet, you can get your outfit designed. 

At IndiaEmporium, you can hire the services of a designer online – you go to their website, and you will get to talk to a professional and experienced designer. All you need to do is give them an idea of what it is that you are looking for, in terms of colours, fabric and work and they will handle the rest. In your first interaction session, you can discuss what you have in your mind; they will suggest fabrics in correspondence to your wedding location, the weather and in keeping with the theme, should there be one. They will suggest colours and combinations, along with the types of works such as embroidery, thread work, stone or bead work and so on. You could also ask to look at their latest bridal lehenga collection to get ideas and no matter what you put your finger on, the design team will make it come true. 

Once you have agreed on the basics, the design team will send you a sketch of what your outfit will look like and this is the time when you can make any and all changes. It is only after you sign off on the design sketch that the actual work starts. The design team will start working on your outfit and at every stage you will be sent emails with the progress. When the work is ready, you will be sent the image of a swatch, which will give you a fair idea of what your final outfit will look like. And in a matter of days, you will get to see your stunning outfit taking shape and nearing completion. Once the outfit is completed, it is carefully packed and shipped to your address. 

Now that I have convinced my friend that she too should consider IndiaEmporium as her design team, I am pretty sure that she too will love the outfit that they create for her. I have to tell you that she had absolutely adored my sister’s wedding outfit and had spoken about how she too would have wanted something similar. And with the IndiaEmporium by her side, she too will get her special wedding lehenga choli and that too without her having to run around and fret about one more thing!
