Culture plays the role of a protagonist in Diana Dang and Rahul Bijlani’s love story. It was the backdrop for their welcome boat dinner event over the Tagus River in Portugal. Culture again along with vintage craftsmanship served as the guiding point of her search for the dream pre-wedding dinner outfit. Rooting in timelessness, our glamorous Aza bride finds a winner in a traffic-stopping royal red bridal lehenga featuring sophisticated zardozi embroidery.
As a patron of Indian crafts, the bride turned to designer Angad Singh to honor her roots with a touch of modern allure. Styled by one of our trusty Aza stylists Pradyna Kanekar, who worked on Diana’s special customization requirements ensured that her look for the lavish party on the boat leaves a lasting impression.
Stunner Diana’s red bridal lehenga crafted from raw silk had all the markers of a modern Indian bride-a bedazzling diamond necklace (that makes your heart skip a beat), a maang tikka, and stacks of golden kaleeras complementing her ethnic appeal. Read on to know how this Aza bride revives the classic red bridal look in Angad Singh lehenga for her wedding boat dinner.
The Comeback of Red Bridal Silhouettes
In a role reversal that was much anticipated by almost every bride-to-be, red is resurging. A cornerstone of Indian bridal fashion, red refuses to go out of style. While pastels reigned supreme for a time, the former’s unmatched charm has always left its mark, reappearing at different times to reclaim its place on the highest pedestal.
Diana’s choice of the traditional red lehenga is also proof that the shade no longer is solely reserved for the wedding day but can also be flaunted at pre-wedding parties like hers.
The Bride’s Custom-Fit Lehenga from Aza
Fashion stylist Pradyna recalls having a pleasant experience of customizing Diana’s outfit. She remembers the bride as one of the sweetest and most polite clients and how she cooperated throughout in getting her pre-wedding dinner outfit ready. Dang’s attention to precision while providing the requirements is what made the entire process smooth.
For the bride, the glamor quotient was fulfilled by a sophisticatedly embroidered sheer dupatta. “One of her unique requests was for an extra trail as a dupatta, which we crafted exactly to her specifications,” Pradyna added.
A Red Lehenga Steeped in Tradition and Showcasing Rich Artisanry
The glamorous bride’s decadently rich outfit is replete with dainty leaf and elephant motifs all set in a palette of bold and passionate red. The side and back tie-up tassel details and the sheer embroidered dupatta add to the depth of the attire.
However, the lehenga blouse design is distinguished with intricate dabka, cutdana, and sequin work, exuding opulence as a result of delicate process involving meticulous handloom techniques.
From Baby’s Breath to Gold Kaleeras; The Bride’s Secret Weapons to Championing Her Dream Look
Instead of a gajra or a mixture of roses, Dang’s loosely done French braid topped with delicate Baby’s breath added a sense of whimsy to her heirloom-worthy couture. The overall feel was old-world charm showcased as a subtle take on sophisticated dressing, resonating with the theme of the dinner party.
Another noteworthy style inspiration to borrow from our darling bride is how she kept the focus on her wedding lehenga and accentuated her outfit with kaleeras, a diamond necklace, maang tikka, and jhumkas. With barely-there subtle makeup and flower hair accessories complementing her outfit, the result was of course, undeniably effortless.
For every bride who favors traditional colors and customs, a red lehenga like Diana Dang is a dream selection.
