2. Minimalist Bridal Goals ft. Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s wedding set a new bridal fashion trend. Bollywood Bride Alia Bhatt’s no-makeup look for her wedding didn’t just accentuate her delicate features, but it also complimented the minimal white and gold saree by designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee. Be it her mandala mehendi, or her delicate bejeweled matha patti, Alia Bhatt’s bridal look screams of minimalism and accentuates the natural beauty. This Bollywood bride’s look is perfect for a summer wedding when you really don’t want the fear of sweat and smudged makeup messing with your head the entire time.

3. Katrina Kaif giving the Traditional Saree an English Touch with a Veil and Trail

Bollywood Bride Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding was one that was as grand as the bridal fashion trends it set. Kat wore a delicate vintage saree to pay tribute to her mother’s British heritage for her engagement. The couture saree by Sabyasachi came with a veil that created a silhouette of a white wedding gown. The Bollywood bride completed the look by adding a long train to her saree and a wedding bouquet. It took over 1800 hours for 40 artisans to handcraft this pastel tulle saree that’s embellished with hand-cut English flowers. A veiled saree is a perfect choice for brides that wish to add a modern twist to this traditional weave.
