Red lehengas are a staple wedding outfit for a traditional bride, period. No matter the number of wavering bridal trends that try to make an entry in our 'upcoming trend' list, most of them hardly see the light of day. It's no surprise that the ceremonial colour has extensively been a part of the celebrity bridal trousseau as well. For instance, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, and Bipasha Basu had taken resort to a conformist red lehenga as an ode to customary rituals for their wedding. Just like them, we can still experiment with the traditional look in tandem to our personal style.
While we are drooling over the celebs's lehenga preferences, we have outfit options for your own big fat Indian wedding that you can rock with these red lehengas.
Tamanna Punjabi Kapoor
Break some stereotypes (albeit not all the way), with some mirror-work instead of the usual zardozi thread work on your bridal lehenga with a decolletage blouse with this stunning piece by Tamanna Punjabi Kapoor.
Anushree Reddy
Bring out your innate poise with this self-embroidered organza lehenga with floral motifs and bead embellishments. To make the look tad dramatic, pair the outfit with red or silver jewellery with a bright red lip.
Abhinav Mishra
An Abhinav Mishra bride definitely prefers a grand yet subtly luxurious vibe. Hence, this quintessential lehenga set with gota patti and mirror work is a great choice if you resonate with it.
Anita Dongre
It is not an overstatement to say that every woman wants to be an Anita Dongre bride. Whether it's her classic enamel tones, or this gota dori laden rich red lehenga along with zardozi, we need at least one ethnic piece in our closet.
Jayanti Reddy
If intricate detailing is your thing, then, this Jayanti Reddy silk lehenga with superfluous zari work will surely steal your heart away. Don't miss the cowrie shell latkans for a pleasant change.
Neeta Lulla
A resplendent lehenga with all-over floral sequin thread work is all we need for a joyous wedding. This ceremonial red piece by Neeta Lulla is an ideal pick for an evening wedding.
Torani
Need some inspiration to wear prints on your wedding day? Make it happen by opting for this chanderi printed lehenga set with floral and bird motifs with a sweetheart neckline.
Vikram Phadnis
This striking red lehenga set with zardozi floral buttis and mukaish embroidered dupatta is an epitome of class. Wear this outfit with kundan chandbaalis and a maangtikka to further accentuate your look.
Ekaya
Chic brocades have secretly been added to our wish-list after looking st this sophisticated silk lehenga set with baroque woven motifs on the blouse. Pair this demure outfit with temple gold jewellery and a brick-red lipstick.
Abhishek Vermaa
We love ourselves a lehenga dipped head-to-toe florals. While this lehenga instantly reminds us of Deepika's post-wedding bash look with Frieda Kahlo inspiration, this lehenga is a feminine version where the designer has OD'ed on 3-D floral embellishments on the red fabric.
Astha Narang
No one can underestimate the power of an unadorned lehenga with superb zardozi work only on the hem and borders. This red lehenga set with a sleeveless blouse works wonders for a summer wedding if you prefer understated outfits.
Shyam Narayan Prasad
We can't get over the simplicity of this red and saffron lehenga with zardozi embroidered floral motifs. That makes it a perfect choice for a minimal yet elegant wedding.
