12 Anarkali, Suits and Sharara Designs for brides who want to ditch lehengas this wedding season!

Gone are the days when brides limited their trousseau to lehengas and sarees. Brides have found alternatives to these for their wedding ceremonies and I could not be happier (at least for sometime)! With anarkalis, suits, ghararas and shararas flooding the wedding outfit scene, I found a plethora of these stunning outfits donned by brides.

Not only are these easier to pull off, apparently lighter and probably more comfortable; they give the bride an unconventional look altogether. Also, if you are thinking these will fail to accentuate your silhouette or you cannot experiment much with them, I am pretty sure these pictures will burst your bubble BIG TIME!! Brides are not only adorning these timeless ethinic outfits on smaller functions, but are also choosing to wear them at their wedding.

Here’s a list of trending anarkali, suit and sharara designs, which you could take major inspo from:

Not only did this beautiful bride choose an offbeat style, she also picked an offbeat colour. I am head over heels seeing the heavy embroidery work on her lehenga and the fact that she paired her outfit with a contrasting maroon dupatta.

I am super-duper WOWWWWWED by this royal-blue anarkali with heavy embroidered work, especially the large elephant motifs adding the traditional touch! Not to miss the tinge of pink and green in the outfit to break the monotony!!

9. Mango-coloured angarkha

For an afternoon wedding ceremony, you can definitely choose to go in for a lighter colour, like this mango-coloured angarkha. I love the fact that it has the right amount of bling, owing to the pretty silver embellishments and the gota patti work. She has paired it with purple sharara pants and the dupatta has a pretty ombre of mango, orange, and purple.

10. Baby pink sharara set
