The sheen of the golden bridal lehenga allows very fewer accessories ideally, but when done right, it can make you look like the Goddess has descended among the people and it is a view to cherish forever. Most weddings occur during the night time and the golden bridal lehenga with the lights flickering on it, is definitely a stellar combination for the lady of the hour on one of the biggest celebrations of her life.

One way to do this is to break the free from the convention of wearing the quintessential red lehenga. Learn about all the ways you can style a golden bridal lehenga to look like a dream come true and different from all the brides around you.

1. The Classic Golden Bridal Lehenga

Variations can be brought to a gorgeous golden bridal lehenga using different fabrics and appliques. You can use a net fabric with embellishments, silk with voluminous cancan or georgette with embroidery and brocade. Though, stray away from the common golden lehenga mistakes that people make with the fabric and colour choices. Surf your options well because golden is not a colour you can play around with too much. Therefore be mindful of the shade that you are picking, is it bright golden or a deep-seated shade of gold. Your golden bridal lehenga design also has to be 

2. Golden Bridal Lehenga with Coloured Embellishments 

If you want to add a little colour to your outfit but still keep it golden, you can get embellishments done in a bright colour such as pink, red and orange. Sequin work, adding laces or brocade work will give that necessary dash of colour without overpowering the royal look that a golden lehenga has. You can also achieve the same by including a pink, red or orange Dupatta to the ensemble. The contrast should be a deep and yet bright shade of colour because that allows the contrasting feature to pop up very cleanly.  

3. Gold and Red Lehenga

Red is the colour of the bride so why shy away from it. You can opt for a golden blouse and Dupatta in combination with a red lehenga or vice-versa. You will still have a golden bridal lehenga but with complementing colours that make it stand out from the rest of the creations in that hue.  Classic red with gold is no longer just meant for the Bengali brides who choose the traditional Banarasi saree, but your lehenga can also be in vogue with the red and gold combination.

4. Rose Gold Bridal Lehenga

In the world of pastels, rose gold is one rich shade that has been a favourite for more than a couple of years now. Your golden bridal lehenga in this shade will work best in net designs with lots of sequin work. The glittering effect it gives is exactly how you will be bedazzling on the D-day. It is the right shade in your palette of pastels to choose especially if the wedding is planned during the daytime.

5. Accessorising it Right

Since it is a golden bridal lehenga, jewellery in gold will complement it but ensure that you don't go overboard with it. Diamond and Kundan jewellery never fail but if you are wearing an all-golden bridal lehenga, add colour with emeralds and sapphires to accentuate the outfit. Choose a shade that suits your skin tone the best and makes you shine on your day.

Golden necklaces will be hidden if you have taken a heavily embroidered golden dupatta over your head and shoulders, and it will also cause chaos with no sync of the attire and the jewellery. Adorn yourself in a little bit of colour in your accessories so that it does not look bland and the green emerald beads or blue sapphire beads come off as a refreshing touch to the eyes of the beholder.

Now that you know all the styles in which you can flaunt a golden bridal lehenga, it comes down to the ideas that appeal to you the most. Trust the opinion of your wedding shopping companion and your gut while surfing through different bridal lehenga stores.
