6 Fashion Trends All Indian Brides Must Steal from Pakistan

Apart from sharing similar culture, passion for cricket, and love for Bollywood, there is one more thing that India and Pakistan have in common- the zeal with which we celebrate weddings, and the bridal fashion. Pakistani fashion industry is definitely coming up big time, especially with numerous fashion weeks held in the country and abroad. Uber chic, modern and refreshing while maintaining the traditional charm, is how one can describe the soul of Pakistani bridal couture. The best part about it is that it can be incorporated very well in Indian bridal fashion! So, if you are planning to get married soon, and still not sure about your outfits for the big day or the many ceremonies surrounding it, then here is a guide on how you can take hints from our stylish neighbours!

Everything non-red

This trend has been quite a popular one for the past couple of seasons in Pakistan. Brides are choosing nudes and refreshing pastels, over the conventional reds, for their lehengas. Shades of green, champagne, beige and cream, are hot favourites. Another shade that they adore is golden, and they add it in any way possible to their look; like, with fabrics (net, tissue, brocade), and with embellishments (gota patti, metallic sequins, thread work), which is purely awe-inspiring. You too can have these in your bridal outfit, just maintain their softer palettes and elegance, and move away from the clutter of blinding gaudy colours, we say! 

Cutting-edge designs, quite literally!

Heavy falling fabrics and exhausting panels are soon becoming passé when it comes to bridal wear designs in Pakistan. You too can adopt their styles of modern hemlines, shorter kurtas, palazzo pants, etc. So fresh and chic, this style allows you to experiment with churidars or skinny pants in printed or brocade fabrics, making a stunning style statement.

Sheers and layers

While the Indian brides go for single (or at times double) layer with dupattas, Pakistani brides take their love for layers to a whole new level, by adding miles of fabric onto their outfit, either as dupattas or layering their lehengas! So, there might be yards of beautiful sheers (net, tissue or lace) over their heavy outfit. The voluminous look created out of the transparent, flowing fabric gives a gorgeous, exotic visual effect.

Colour blocking

The rise of colour blocking as a trend in Pakistani bridal couture is surely something Indian brides-to-be can emulate. This fashion-forward trend that divides the lehenga, the choli and the dupatta in contrasting colours, creates a striking, one-of-a-kind bridal look. 

Modern jackets over traditional silhouettes

This is a trend that is soon becoming a norm in Pakistan. Brides love layering their traditional wedding attire with jackets! Be it bolero-styles, collared blazers, longs sherwani capes or poncho jackets over their lehengas, they love it all and do it fearlessly! This interesting fusion lets you represent your individuality by staying within the limits of the traditional affair.

Unique statement jewellery

Although their jewellery is very similar in both countries, Pakistani brides always flaunt unique and intricate jewellery patterns and designs. Be it styles in maang tikkas or pasas, or circular jhoomars, their jewellery always has a touch of uniqueness.
