Picking the right wedding outfit can seem like an overwhelming task. Add to that something you’ll be able to wear and cherish forever, and you’ve got yourself a seemingly daunting choice. But we’re here to make it easier for you to make the right choice with some super-easy things to keep in mind.
1. The Can-Can
One of the things that gives any lehenga its drama and volume is the can-can. Bridal lehengas usually have a layer or two of extra can-can for added flair, but that’s not something you need when you want to wear the lehenga for a smaller affair. To keep that option open, get the can-can as a separate layer, something like a petticoat that you can wear under any skirt to add volume.

2. The Blouse
While numerous blouse styles might be on your mind for your bridal blouse, including some really trendy ones, the key to picking the right type you will always use is to stick to one that will fit your personal style. Whether it’s the blouse length, neck depth or sleeve style, only something that you’re comfortable in is something you will look at wearing again.

3. The Embellishment
Bridal outfits often come with a whole lot of embroidery and handcrafted details in metallic like gold or silver. While both may look beautiful, something to keep in mind before choosing your outfit is to stick to embroidery in a shade that is more dominant in your wardrobe, this will help you mix and match amongst your pieces much better.

4. Rent It!
Layered and statement jewellery often looks outstanding as part of any bridal outfit. However, it’s not something you will always use, especially when it comes to the more costume jewellery-style pieces. Take this opportunity to rent pieces that you can layer with things you have. Not only is this great for your pocket, but also helps avoid unnecessary hoarding.
5. Shoe Matters
Thinking ahead even when it comes to your shoes can go a long way. If you’re not one who will wear super embellished and high-heels stilettos after your D-day, it’s wiser to skip the shoe style altogether. Pick something you’ll be comfortable in, on your wedding day and even later. Ethnic wedges, metallic block heels and even juttis are a great way to complete your wedding look perfectly.
