Let’s begin the list with a classic A-line lehenga skirt that has dominated the bridal fashion scene for many years. As the name suggests, this skirt resembles an A as it flares from the hem at the hip. Many brides opt for an A-line skirt for its versatile look that can be dressed up or dressed down to match your personal style.

Banarasi print is usually associated with traditional attire but if you want to merge the old with the new, you can incorporate it in your lehenga skirt as well. The Banarasi lehenga usually comes in a classic gold print that gives the lehenga skirt a royal and enchanting look. But what makes this style a favourite among many brides is its ability to suit all body types while providing the opulence and grandeur that is unmatched by other lehenga skirts.

Another Sabyasachi classic, this skirt features a Banarasi print against a deep pink fabric. The base of the skirt comes with a deep maroon border enhanced with gold sequins and embroidery work. Amaze all your guest with this beautiful bridal look!

3. Printed

If you are going for that effortless, summer bridal look, this printed lehenga skirt is just what you need. Printed lehenga gives you the freedom to play with different patterns and colour hues to give your lehenga a contemporary feel. This lightweight skirt is suited for all body types and the flowy effect provides the picture-perfect look!

4. Panelled

If you are looking for a skirt to show off the patterns and motifs on your skirt, you can’t go wrong with a panelled skirt. This lehenga skirt features an intricate stitching pattern along the hem of the skirt that creates different panels along with the skirt and a wide base. This lehenga skirt is popular among many brides as it provides that ball-gown effect.

This stunning silk panelled lehenga comes with a beautiful silver floral print that enhances the look of the bright green skirt. You can pair this magnificent skirt with a short crop blouse to complete your bridal look.

5. Cancan

If you want to add that volume and flair to your bridal lehenga skirt, do it right with a Cancan lehenga. Cancan is layers of mesh attached under your skirt to give your lehenga skirt a princess bridal look. You can add multiple layers of Cancan until you get the desired amount of volume in your skirt. This can be done with hard mesh-like material or a soft-net material. We recommend you go with a soft net Cancan so that you are as comfortable as possible in your lehenga.

7. Umbrella

A traditional lehenga skirt style that is making a major comeback is the umbrella style. The lehenga is narrow at the waist and flares out, forming a beautiful circle at the base- like an umbrella! Umbrella lehengas come with unique designs and patterns that can be seen as the skirt fans out beautifully.  

This umbrella style skirt by Anita Dongre is sure to steal hearts at the wedding. The gorgeous baby pink skirt comes with triangle shaped motifs and floral embroidery, embedded with sequins. A matching sleeveless blouse and a netted dupatta add the finishing touch to this look.

This gorgeous bright pink lehenga comes with a flared panelled skirt that is enhanced with beautiful embroidery work across the blouse and skirt.

The lehenga skirt is a quintessential part of the wedding attire so we hope the styles listed above inspire you to choose the outfit that suits you best!
