Soha Ali Khan married Kunal Khemu
this weekend in what was, by Bollywood standards, a fairly private
wedding. The few pictures that have emerged of the wedding show
Bollywood stars in designers like Manish Malhotra and Sabyasachi
Mukherjee.
While the bride is glowing, fashion lovers this side
of the border can’t help but ask — is this the best of Indian bridal
fashion?
Bridal fashion is certainly very different this side of the border.
While the outfits chosen by Soha Ali Khan’s wedding party and guests
show an emphasis on fabric and bold embroidery, our designers focus on
silhouette, delicate embroidery and craftsmanship.
The bride chose a plain gold
choli with a
gulabi
pink lengha for her reception. For those of us used to elaborate
bridals, this looks overly simple. Designers like Misha Lakhani or Sanam
Chaudri have churned out hip, young looks that are a little more
'bridal' than this.
From Sania Maskatiya’s Ara Ornament collection
to Bunto Kazmi’s timeless creations, wedding season in Pakistan saw
plenty of stunning outfits this year. So we can't help but wonder: If
Soha et al had shopped on this side of the border, what might they have
chosen to wear?
