As wedding norms are changing with time so is the fashion. Brides today are more accepting of silhouettes other than the lehenga, whether it is draped saris, Indo-Western picks, ball-gowns or sharara sets. Voluminous, playful and comfortable, shararas are a great alternative to the classic lehenga set. They marry comfort with a feminine flair, and there's something truly special about twirling in a sharara set. The old-worm charm of this Mughal era silhouette will add grace to your bridal wardrobe. Bonus? Designer options work seamlessly for almost every occasion, from pujas to wedding functions, and they won't be just lying around in your closet.
As you get ready to walk your way down the aisle, let this be a small reminder that you can broaden your horizons and create your own fashion trends. Because there is no hard and fast rule that you have to wear a lehenga or a sari for the nuptials. Get experimental and add some drama to your D-day ensemble or at least pre-wedding functions with these statement sharara sets from Estie Couture.
