Here is raising a toast for the brides, who ditched red on their wedding day and opted for white Sabyasachi lehengas to make their D-day memorable.
When we think of a bride, the image of a shy girl, wearing a red lehenga with her head covered in a veil comes to our mind. For years, the colour red has been synonymous with the Indian bride and we have grown up learning that a girl has to leave her house and become a part of her husband’s family, wearing her laal suhaag ka joda. The colour white in Hindu culture was considered inauspicious or in fact, is even now considered taboo for a newlywed. However, now the times have changed and the brides are breaking the stereotypes.
We have come far off from the times when a bride or a newlywed was restricted from wearing a white outfit. The brides of modern times do not fear experimenting with their bridal looks, even if that means wearing white on their wedding day. Here is raising a toast for the brides, who ditched red on their wedding day and opted for white Sabyasachi lehengas to make their D-day memorable. Also, we are highly impressed by their in-laws and social circle, who did not shame them for their bold step.
