RED, a word that hits our mind with an image of warmth, optimism and exuberance. But why it is exceptionally adored by our bridal tradition? Let’s find it out:-
Red is most predominant in bridal colors, what makes it so special?
Traditionally, Mars is the planet that governs marriage part in one’s life. Since, it is red in color, brides are asked to wear red for pleasing it. Apart from that it is the most beautiful color and very dominant as well that makes her the cynosure of the ambiance. All in all, red is extremely recommended for all the brides-to-be if they really want to capture all the lights.
How was it used traditionally in bridal wear?
Well, here we would like to say bridal look instead of bridal wear, because donning complete red look has been considered auspicious for brides since forever. It starts from her hands and feet that are beautified with that vivid Alta, then it comes the red lehenga-choli or a saree (depending on culture of origin) followed by beautiful bindi, and ultimately the vermillion or sindoor that glorifies her head completing quintessential Indian bridal look. Hence, that makes the color an inevitable part of a bridal trousseau.
What new ways you see it being used in?
As weddings are getting more conceptualized nowadays, the focus on bridal attires are being experimented in various ways. From interesting fish tail to asymmetrical silhouettes are being welcomed, and color experiments such as using different shades of red in separates of bridal get-up, and many times red is color blocked with other solid colors to give it a striking appearance. Moreover, the bridal trend is now getting personalized with being customized, as individual tastes and personalities are taken in account while designing and styling. Perhaps, this is why we see a bride wearing a formal white shirt with embellished crimson lehenga styled with a pair of sneakers.
How can it evolve to keep with times, yet retain the traditional flavour?
To cherish the ethnicity is crucial because the colors are not just for beauty, they define our heritage that needs to be preserved with changing times. And having talked about red being a never fading shade in bridal ensembles, it can be modified in various ways to satiate your experimental taste. The ethnic embroidery motifs and techniques are already twisted such as crafting couple’s name over the attire; various options from around 40 shades of red are available for you to make your look stand-out
