We know, you just don't feel the cold at a wedding, whether you're the bride or a guest, if you’re getting married or have a wedding to attend in the winter then take some time to plan your attires and make smart choices.  But still, there are some of us who just cannot handle the cold, and things might get a wee bit difficult if you're the bride in that situation! So here are some simple bridal lehenga hacks that not only save you from the cold, but do that without compromising on your bridal look.

Wear leg warmers/leggings beneath your lehenga

Wear a pair of warm fleece tights in a nude or black colour under your open flared lehenga or saree to keep yourself warm and cozy. Just make sure that they crop before the ankles start so they won't be visible but will totally keep your legs toasty. Besides, if your feet and legs are warm, the rest of you feels warm as well.

Choose warmer fabrics like velvetThis is one of the most important things that you should keep in mind while you go for bridal shopping. If you are having a winter wedding you should always choose heavier fabrics that can definitely help while trying to stay. If you are having a night function, it is advised to opt for outfits in thick silks and velvets are much more cold proof as compared to the sheer net lehengas,. Don't fret, sarees and lehengas in these fabrics look outstanding.

Peplum Blouses to add layersAdd layers to your bridal lehenga as you opt for peplum style blouse. Unlike other stylish blouses, a peplum blouse is generally long enough to protect the winter bride from chilly winds.

Get a heavier dupatta in a thicker fabric made Or carry a shawl insteadGet a finely embroidered pashmina shawl or stole with your wedding outfit, the same exact color of your dupatta, now just attach the shawl on the inside of your dupatta, it will radiate warmth when you need it the most.

Get 3/4th or full sleeves made for the blouseWe  know that sleeveless, cold shouldered and off-shoulder blouses look super chic. But for winter wedding opt for full sleeved blouses. They look damn stylish and elegant. You can get your full sleeves embroidered or have beautiful broad lace borders stitched on them.

Adorn a stylish cape or jacket made that matches your wedding outfitDon a stunning cape or leather jacket over your wedding outfit to make it look trendy and classy. Your long jacket or caped blouse will protect you from the cold and also elevate your bridal look.

Settle on the Correct Style

The first consideration that needs to be taken before marching for the best outfit is regarding the style of clothing that you want to wear on D day. There are several popular styles of attire like saree, salwar suits, lehengas etc so one needs to finalize according to age and figure type so as to what looks best. Sarees are the popular preference for the wedding day followed by anarkali suits or salwar kameez on sangeet and haldi. Lehengas are pretty cool too and can be opted since daughter’s wedding is an exclusive occasion.  However, just for advice, the classical rich attires like Banarasi or Kanjeevaram sarees, rich chiffon, designer georgette salwars looks the best as the mother of the bride dresses.

Color Choice

One of the tricky parts of choosing the correct attire is deciding on the color of the garment. Though there are no rules as to which colors are best for the mothers, it is always better to avoid the flashy loud ones as carrying the same with dignity and style can be a difficult task. So to be on the safer side it is better to choose the rich subtle and lighter tones with bright bordering or embellishments to highlight the garment.  Color must be in tune to the skin complexion and should match the jewelry worn. Some of the good choices of colors include pink, turquoise, lavender, peach, royal blue, green, burgundy etc.

Embellishments

Dress designing gets its best with embellishments. So to get the due share of the limelight, make sure to wear a dress which is beautifully embellished. Embroidery works, zari work, silver threads are some of the popular and rich embellishments that promise grandeur to the mother of the bride dresses.

Accessories

Accessories are an equally important part that helps in highlighting the mother of the bride dresses. Designer bangles, gold ornaments, diamond jewelries, silver anklets, delicate necklaces, kundan and stone accessories all are used to complete the gorgeous look of the day. However, it is important to match the jewellery with each attire in a proper way so that accessories never look out of place.

The rules of traditional dressing for the mothers may be fast fading in the modern Indian society, but the fact remains that even today, anyone who is planning an authentic Indian wedding, would always go in for these traditional outfits only for all the participants in this event. In conclusion, make some effort and do some research to find out the best attire that suits the occasion.
