You are the star of the show and we will assist you in the tedious task of achieving perfection by sharing golden wedding lehenga mistakes that you need to watch out for!

1. The One With Shades of Gold

Common Mistake: Choosing a shade of gold that does not look good on you.

How to avoid it: Like any colour in the rainbow, gold also has many shades to it. Cool-toned, warm-toned, dull, bright, the options are manifold. To achieve the hue best suited for you, make sure that you try on a few options with different undertones and select the one that suits you best. For a better perspective, look at your veins at the wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you have a cool undertone and you should look for golden shades with the same undertone. But if you see olive or green coloured veins at your wrist, go for warm undertoned golden fabric shade.

2. The One With Fascinating fabrics

Common Mistake: There are so many fascinating fabric options to choose from. Choosing the one that only looks the best to your eye might not be the wisest decision.

How to avoid it: All kinds of fabrics feel different to touch. Go to your boutique of choice and feel a few fabrics before selecting the one for your golden bridal lehenga. Don't just touch it with your hands but lay it on your arms, that will help you to judge if the fabric is comfortable and suits your skin. Of course, you can get another layer of a comfortable fabric stitched underneath it but all the edges, whether be the lehenga belt or blouse sleeves, this lehenga fabric will come in contact with your skin. So make a wise choice when it comes to the fabric of the lehenga.

3. The One With Embellishments and Embroidery

Common Mistake: Heavy embroidery and generous use of embellishments that end up making you uncomfortable.

How to avoid it: Almost every golden wedding lehenga has a lavish spread of embroidery and embellishments on them. Sequence, mirror, stones, and many other elements are used to add bling to the outfit. Make sure that you are not allergic to any of the elements; a metal alloy, for instance, does not suit everyone. Another way to save your skin is to make sure that the golden wedding lehenga fabric comes with a lining of another comfortable fabric that actually contacts your skin. Can-can your way to a stunning bridal avatar without having to deal with pesky threads underneath your lehenga skirt.

4. The One With Dupatta and Blouse

Common Mistake: Going overboard with the ‘Gold’ and making all the pieces of the ensemble-heavy.

How to avoid it: A graceful and regal looks is reflected from an outfit when it has the beautiful balance of bold artwork and classic cuts. Pairing a fully embellished golden bridal lehenga skirt with a neutral and classic Dupatta or blouse is the ideal way of achieving just that. You can go a step further and add a subtle oomph to the outfit with a pastel colour peeping through the gold. This can be done by adding piping and borders of contrasting pastel colour on golden colour bridal lehenga or choosing a different colour for the Dupatta and blouse altogether. Shades of pink and peach would gracefully complement your bridal lehenga. If you want to sport something funkier, go for powder blue and lavender shades.

5. The One With Bridal Jewellery

Common Mistake: Gold jewellery with golden wedding lehenga can often lead to neither of them taking the centre stage.

How to avoid it: Bridal jewellery is as an important element to the bridal ensemble as the golden wedding lehenga. Gold on gold can blend in stealing the charm and charisma of jewellery. Once you have decided on the design of your lehenga, only then take the next step of buying jewellery. To avoid the jewellery stealing the thunder of your golden bridal lehenga and vice versa. Add contrasting colours to your jewellery with emeralds, sapphires, and rubies.

6. The One With Fabulous footwear

Common Mistake: Choosing footwear for their gorgeous looks while completely ignoring the comfort factor.

How to avoid it: Fabulous footwear to complement your stunning golden colour bridal lehenga is a must to complete your outfit. But, the biggest blunder you can make is to opt for a pair of high heels that are gorgeous to look at and are the most uncomfortable to wear. Opt for a pair that not only looks good but, also comes with the added advantage of comfort. Wedge heels and block heels are an excellent choice.

7. The One With Mesmerising Makeup

Common Mistake: Wearing loud makeup on bold gold would be OTT.

How to avoid it: Makeup adds the final touches to a glowing bride, you don’t want to steal that natural glow with dark bridal makeup. A neutral and glassy look with a hint of colour is all you need to shine on your wedding. This simplicity of a neutral makeup look combined with the glamour of a golden colour bridal lehenga will create a balance that enhances your captivating beauty.
