Stop everything and catch up with Bhoomi Pednekar's bridal looks

Bhoomi Pednekar

Lavishness is not enough. Brides today wish to look not just their best but also unique on their big day. The same old red lehenga and golden jewellery do not please them anymore. Even as celebrities are distancing themselves from a typical Indian bridal look by opting for designer outfits that are borrowed from different cultures, new-age women too have taken a shine to the idea. Just recently we got to see Anushka Sharma dressed up in a light pink lehenga with floral motifs on it on her wedding day. Sagarika Ghatge too walked the aisle in her elaborate pastel attire. Even comedienne Bharti Singh had her ‘I-do’ moment in the combination of blue and pink.

Brides today are well travelled, they are aware of global trends and on top of that, are open to experimenting with fashion. Using this newfound outlook of marriageable women of today to their advantage, bridal stylists have gone about exploring exotic cultures and creating fusion designs to please our brides of today. The passion with which the stylists are rolling out such never-seen-before creations, with the same enthusiasm the brides are lapping up the stunning designs and thus, the trend has caught on.

But it is the Toilet – Ek Prem Katha famed actress Bhumi Pednekar’s recent photoshoot for a magazine cover that will further fuel this trend. Her outfits are a global take on bridal attires that are nothing like our Indian bridal wears yet make for a magnificent ensemble. 

Take a look at some of the gorgeous attires donned by the diva in the making.

This elegant ensemble, replete with sparkle and shine, is sure to sell like a hot pan cake this season. While it exudes the richness of a bridal wear, there is deserved drama in its pattern. The brocades, the floral motifs and the gloss, together it's a classy design for a new-age bride.

For any girl who grew up to meet her prince charming some day, this Cinderella dress is a dream come true. But unlike the fairy-tale, this one comes with a colourful set of trendy jewellery.

A sequined cami top teamed up with a lavishly-designed floral lehenga and a chunky jewellery set to go with it, is a bohemian style bridal ensemble. But did it work for us? Yes and no. Yes, because it is in sync with the idea of looking unique and no, because the lavishness of a fairy-tale wedding is totally missing. To each, her own.

Long live the jewellery heritage of Haryana!

Image
Don’t look at Haryana the way Bollywood wants you to view it. It’s much more than what their limited understanding of this state’s rich culture permits. The cows, the hookahs and the khaats definitely form the indispensable element of a traditional Haryanvi household. But that’s not about it. For the uninitiated, Haryana’s history is replete with myths, legends, valour and glory. The sacred Vedas were written here, it is the birthplace of the Universe, Lord Krishna narrated the sermons of Bhagwad Gita here and the great saint Ved Vyas wrote the Mahabharata in Sanskrit. A state with such a glorious past cannot be conversed in the 70mm of cinema. You need to have a special vision to behold its beauty. Talk about jewellery, in this domain too Haryana does not cease to overwhelm you. While the rich and affluent bejewel themselves in gold fineries , silver still remains the ornamental choice for many. Check out what the state’s treasure trove holds for you. Just lik...

The treasure trove of Andhra Pradesh

Image
You cannot sum up India’s jewellery heritage without paying a special tribute to Andhra Pradesh.  Home to diamond mining, pearl harvesting and jewellery traditions, the state boasts of a glorious history with a virtual monopoly in the global jewellery industry till 1826 (until founding of the diamond mines in Rhodesia, Africa). What’s more! Eight of the 10 most valuable jewellery pieces on Earth today were found from the mines located here. With the ancient Golconda mine in its crown, the state is also the mother of the several legendary gems such as the Kohinoor and Hope Diamond. A grand salute! Another feather in its cap is Karimnagar’s silver filigree . But that does not mean, it lags behind in the gold jewellery game. Mainly comprising of Vaddaanam, Aravanke, Kashulahaaram , Buttalu and various other customary gold jewellery designs, it is a continuously evolving ancient tradition. However, brides from different communities have their own unique bridal jewellery ...

The rich and varied Tulunadu treasures

Image
First let’s make it clear. Not everyone living in South India is Mallu and particularly, not everyone living in Karnataka speaks Kannada. There is a culturally rich clan of Tulunadus living in Mangalore who are distinction in every way. Their rituals, their language and their lifestyle reflect the uniqueness of their culture. But still, its jewellery heritage is something that connects it to the whole of India.   Just like other cultures of India, Tulu women too are bejewelled from head to toe. From armlets, bracelets, bangles, necklaces and earrings to finger rings, toe rings, nose rings, anklets, pendants and waistbands, their trinket box is replete with jewels . Just that they call it by different names. For instance, for them diamond is Vajjira, while coral is Pakala. Similarly, pearl is Muttu, ghungroo is referred as Gejje and hand-made gold coin goes by the name Nanya. Knowing the names of the jewellery elements, you would be able to guess the type of ornamen...
