February is the official month of love and love surely makes our world go round. And if you have decided to tie the knot this month, it demands a bit of extra lavish. A Valentine bride looks extra radiant, extra vivacious and you can blame it on the touch of love in the air. The wedding trousseau of the bride will definitely contain certain essentials and we will list them for you.

Move over Western wear and embrace the sensuous saree; let the red or the pink saree do the talking. A fluid, flowy drape like a georgette or chiffon is almost a mandate for that special date night before the wedding. And to add to the chic quotient of the saree, give it a caped look. Florals are back in fashion big time, so if you are looking for inspirations, take a hint from the blushing blooms in the sarees.

A cocktail party would be incomplete without a fashion fiesta, and if you are the bride you have every right to outshine everyone. Those who do not want to go Indian all the way, but still want to retain the enticing ethnic charm, can go half-way and opt for the Indo-western or fusion wear. Choose a lehenga gown for instance; it is vibrant and befits the occasion.

There is probably no girl who is not fond of the colour red. If you think, that wearing a red dress would be too cliché, you can always innovate and include a touch of red in your ensemble. Let us tell you how. Choose a red lipstick which complements your skin tone and the outfit. The overall face make up should be lighter as your red lips should have prominence. And if you have opted for a different coloured lehenga or a saree for the D-day, why not get a red anarkali for sangeet? And if Valentine’s Day comes just after your marriage, wearing a red anarkali to depict post-marriage Valentine love is not a bad idea at all.

For a reception, try to find something simple yet classy. How about pairing up the shararas with a well-fitted long kurta? This gives you an ease of movement; mingle with your guests without a glitch. Plus, this looks smart and you can still remain the radiant diva bride that you are!

Are you a good shopper? Do you buy stuff which you need and not want? Do you have the habit of sticking to your shopping list and not get swayed by the discount and sale frenzy? If the answers to all these questions are in negative, you need to rethink about your shopping habits. Take note of these 5 common shopping mistakes which we do unintentionally, but can easily avoid.

A lot of us think that a good brand will never disappoint you; but buying clothes from premium brand do not always guarantee quality. When you are shopping, always look for quality products. There are certain aspects of clothing which make them better than the rest. The first thing that you need to look for is a good fabric. Check out the cuts and designs, the manufacturing quality and the stitches. These are the things that actually distinguish a quality product.

It will be an absolute blasphemy to buy something without trying it on. Waiting before the changing rooms can be a bit tedious, especially if you are in a hurry. Most manufacturers have their own measurements and sizes which may be different from your body size and shape. It is better to try the clothes; otherwise you may need to come back for an exchange. And in most cases people do not even come back, which means that you actually threw your money in the air. And if you are doing online shopping, you should be pretty cautious about the return policies before you hit the ‘buy’ button.

Most of us harbour the misconception that we have the best deals in discount stores or during sale time. What we do not realize is that most of us end up buying stuff which we do not even need in this sale frenzy. This is pure impulse buying and simply a waste of money. Ask yourself if you really need the shirt or that pair of boxers just because they come with a cheap tag? Need and want are two different things and distinguishing between the two actually helps you to be a smart shopper.

It is best not to be tempted by counterfeit items; they are cheap and look exactly like the original Rolex watch you have been dying to buy. But is it worth the money? Most counterfeit items are not of good quality. Buying them means you will waste your money.

Make a habit of shopping around. You may like a bag at a store and you may find the same bag in an online shopping portal at half the price. Most of the time, we do not compare the prices and the quality of goods before making a purchase. The price of the same bag from the same brand may be less in another store. It is a good habit to do a survey before you make the final purchase.

Clothes could be the weakness for anyone who loves to stay stylish . And now, everybody is striving to look good and walk along with the trend. But contrary to the common belief, you actually don’t have to have a huge budget to look stylish.

Planning for an ethnic night, get a jacket and a lehenga and team it up for an evening party.Not only will it look trendy, but you can team the jacket with your denim, trousers or regular skirt, without going overboard. One jacket can serve many purposes and yet make you look stylish.

Being adventurous with colors, especially when you are not confident about it can spoil your look and ruin your budget. You should always know which color or pattern suits you the most. This not only helps you on saving money, but also a lot of Do not buy that light blue lehenga knowing well that blue is not your colour, instead avoid that particular colour and stick to your shades. Whenever in confusion, go to the trial room and take a look at yourself wearing the lehenga, the mirror will not tell a lie.

Always invest in quality products. A good quality saree or a gown is very comfortable to wear and at the same time will not lose its charm after three or four washes.

Looking awesome and stylish just takes a little bit of creativity and you can look amazing at any budget. You can always wear an anarkali as a gown, or a front open anarkali, as a jacket over your skirt. You can throw a sequined jacket over your formal dress to give yourself a winter yet party look. Be smart while dressing up and come up with new looks on your own in every budget

Remember Mira Nair’s ‘Monsoon Wedding’? Amidst all the chaos, clutter, skeletons coming out of the closet, the wedding held extreme fond memories for the guests and the moviegoers. It seems that everything was perfect at the end. It was romance and rejuvenation of spirits alright; monsoon can have that effect on you. If you are planning your D-day in the most romantic weather, here are a few pointers to help the monsoon bride.

Rains can be pretty unpredictable; so keep it light during the monsoon. Out with the heavy dresses and bling and keep it minimal. Check out the latest designs on lace, satin, georgette and net and choose a choli with intricate designs. For the lehenga, opt for a lighter ghagra or a lehenga. Before you start on the makeup, pay special attention to your hands and feet. Brides often tend to forget about their feet and hands in the middle of the last minute wedding rush. A regular non-hassle routine like scrubbing your feet and hands with warm water and soft soap or a piece of lemon can do wonders! It is extremely effortless, but gives you that extra shine on your wedding day.

Rain and humidity both act as spoilers for your hair. This is one thing that you really need to be careful about. Start a hair routine at least two or three months prior to the wedding date. Use a mild shampoo and a conditioner for your hair and wash it at least two or three times a week. You can opt for a weekly spa as well which will help to maintain the soft lustre look of the hair.

Instead of going for dark colours, you can choose neon shades such as blue, green, peach or pink. Both suits and sarees in neon colours look good on brides. So, if you are choosing a light lehenga for the main event, you can stick to the neon shades for other functions such as sangeet or mehendi.

It is best not to keep your hair open for the event; you should opt for a messy bun or a neat top knot or a simple braid and adorn it with fresh flowers.
