This design in its different colours works for different events. We especially love how the striped purple dupatta makes the purple pop all the more!

If there is one colour that does the evening functions justice so glamorously, it has to be this designer dual-toned blue-green lehenga choli set.

The heavily embroidered lehenga with silver foil is so bright yet regal which will work effortlessly well in all seasons. And the colour is so unique!

For the Haldi or Chura ceremony

Like red is for desi bridal lehenga choli designs, yellow too is the essential colour for this intimate ceremony before the big event! Be it your Haldi, Chura ceremony or any other ceremony according to your traditions the morning before the wedding, simple and chirpy colours is the route to take. Just look at this bride in her muted yellow lehenga featuring intricate work, contrast jewellery and the delicate makeup making quite the statement!

Starting right from her hairstyle, which reminded us so much of Sonam Kapoor's Mehndi look, down to her fun Banarasi lehenga choli design everything about this bride's look is giving us major fashion goals! Out of the list, this is one of the easiest lehenga choli designs to DIY and recreate at a fraction of the cost while still delivering high on the fashion quotient.

The purple-orange colour combination is quite unusual for a lehenga choli design but still works very well for a bridal outfit. You could even choose such an outfit for your Mehndi because of the quirkiness in it.

For the main wedding function

When it comes to bridal lehenga choli designs we had to start with something more neutral and modern as it is perfect for morning or summer brides!

All decked up in this ivory lehenga choli, we are in complete awe. Starting from the bridesmaid coordinated outfits down to the bride's makeup everything is on point! The double dupatta gives it the added oomph...

Look at this gorgeous bride in the velvet lehenga choli designs paired with layers of gold and soft glam makeup look! This colour is perfect for brides, especially in the winter owing to the weight and look of it. The different double dupatta's here add the regality while balancing out the intricate work on the lehenga and blouse.

There are so many routes to take when it comes to your bridal lehenga. It all comes down to how well it flatters you, how you style it and how well the colour works in the scheme of everything else. You'll always fetch bonus points for subtle colour coordination with your mister! But keep in mind to buy different colours for different functions to keep it all fresh and bright.
