Tips to Find The Perfect Bridal Lehenga
Identify the suitable pattern for your body type
The hunt for your bridal lehenga starts with identifying the right lehenga for your body type. Every girl has a different body shape, and it affects how an attire looks on you. There can be hundreds of beautiful lehengas of your choice, but it is good to choose the one which best suits your body type.
So first, identify the sort of lehenga that suits your body type.
Apple shape or invert triangle body type

The girls whose upper body part is bulkier than lower are apple-shaped. They have heavier busts and shoulders.
So to get a symmetrical appearance, apple-shaped brides should choose a flowy, circular lehenga with broad flares. To get a beautiful look, choose soft and light fabric for the skirt and lehenga chunni.
Choose a wider neckline and pastel or light-colored blouse that does not highlight your upper body. Avoid blouses with collar neck or short sleeves.
Wear your lehenga chunni as a veil or wrap around your elbow. Do not place it over the shoulder, as it will make your upper body portion bulkier.
Choose heavy embellishments for the skirt instead of the blouse.
Pear shape body type

The girls with a heavy lower body and a relatively smaller upper body are pear-shaped.
So pear-shaped girls, you should go for a very flowy skirt in plain fabric and a simple lehenga choli. Since a flowy skirt hides your entire bulk, the lehenga looks elegant on you.
Your blouse should be the highlight of your overall lehenga, so choose the one with bright colors and heavy embellishments. Wear deep necks and short sleeves. It must beautifully reveal the enchant of your collarbones, clavicles, and arms.
Drape your lehenga chunni in a cape style so that it emphasizes your upper body. Do not choose a too long or heavy lehenga chunni otherwise, it will make your hips look heavy.
Hourglass body type

We are already jealous of you. You got the perfect body with proportioned hips and shoulders and a sleek waist. Since you have perfect curves, a mermaid-cut lehenga will look perfect on you. You can also carry a skirt with many tulles and a corset blouse. It is the perfect way to get a fairytale gown look. Velvet and chiffon fabric will complement your perfect curves.
Choose a blouse to flaunt your well-defined waist and upper curves.
You can drape your lehenga chunni in various styles, but try not to cover your waist.
For you, choices are endless *envy*.
H shape or rectangle shape body type

Girl with shoulders and hips of the same width. Luckily, lehenga gives a curvy appearance to your athletic body. You have to find a lehenga that creates an illusion of curves.
An A-line lehenga or a high waist skirt with a cropped top suits you the best. The skirt with rich stiff fabric that has heavy flares with noticeable designs.
Go for a deep-neck blouse with a plunging neckline to create a curvy illusion on your upper body.
Pair with a flowy, transparent, soft fabric lehenga chunni to complete the look.
Play with belts to define your waist.

Your curves are beautiful, so do not stress much over it, just flaunt it.
However, the thing you can do is choose a lehenga that does not make you look bulkier. For that, the first thing to keep in mind is to avoid layering. The second thing to focus on is including horizontal patterns. A-line is the best pattern for your body type. Go for a single shade and dark colors. Small and delicate embellishments work best for you.
Pick the color to flatter your skin tone
While you may be attracted to wearing traditional red, there are several other hues to slay in; emerald green, peach pink, baby blue, hot pink, turquoise, and there is a lot to try. Do not be afraid to try new hues to find out the one that perfectly enhances your skin tone. Though you may have a color in mind, it is worth trying different shades of at least red, pink, and blue.
Once you try them, you will get clarity in which hue you want to get married in.
Pro tip: If you are planning for a day wedding, go for lighter hues and darker hues for a nighttime wedding.
Coordination is must

Whether in contrast or matching, you both should look good together. So, coordinate with your would-be well in advance to sync your wedding outfits. Decide on a look you both are comfortable with.
Go for complementary colors and styles or some elements that bring consistency to your outfits. With this, you can make sure that you both look great in your wedding pictures.

If you adore feminine and delicate things go for light and floral ones. Abstract with flowy patterns also speaks your style.
If you love everything bold, a dark-colored statement lehenga can do the trick.
