She left her tresses in light curls, while a little blandi bindi further enhanced her cuteness. She wore dewy makeup to balance her elaborate wedding saree and jewellery.
What You Can Do
Experiment with colours, styles and materials to your heart’s content for your wedding attire. Go with the traditional red or other dark hues like Fuschia, cobalt blue, and others. Or, let your own personality shine with light pastels or ivory. For the thread work, opt for gold, like Alia, or make silver your own. Accessorise with pearls, gold, diamond, precious stones, or a combination of these – whatever catches your fancy. Keep the makeup minimalistic like the bride here or go all out with it. You can tie your hair into a bun or wear it loose.
