'Wait, white on the wedding day?' Well, gone are the days when wearing white lehenga was a big no-no. Let's take a look at the celebrity brides who had worn white on their wedding day!
The moment when we think of an Indian bride, the first picture that flashes in our mind is of a young girl donning the prettiest red lehenga with a coy smile. Since time immemorial, red was considered the auspicious colour for a bride getting married. Over the years, we have seen brides ditching the traditional red lehengas and experimenting with every colour of the rainbow palette.
We have seen brides looking pretty in pink-hued lehengas to maroon, grey and whatnot. However, now brides have shifted their preference to white-coloured lehengas. In many Indian traditions, a new bride is not allowed to wear white for the first year of the wedding. But the new-age brides are breaking the notion and opting for serene white for their wedding festivities. Let's take a look at the celebrity brides, who had worn white lehenga for their special day.
