With all the fleeting trends that come and go, zeroing down a bridal outfit can seem like a daunting task. You’d want something that’s classic and unique at the same time. Add to that the challenge of over-choice with the wide array of options available in the market. However, there are certain silhouettes and shades that will always stand the test of time. And a red lehenga surely fits that bill.
Whether you’re looking for an ornate red lehenga with traditional crafts for the main wedding ceremony or a minimal look for one of your pre-wedding functions, Mrunalini Rao has plenty of choices to offer in various shades of red. The designer is most renowned for crafting one-of-a-kind pieces in luxe fabrics, each accentuated with intricate embroideries and embellishments. “My strength lies in surface design, and I like to challenge myself to include contemporary elements into Indian wear. I weave tradition with modern aesthetic to discover a new design statement for every collection and that has become the brand’s identity,” Mrunalini shares.
From classic to modern, ornate to lightweight, scroll on to browse through our favourites from Mrunalini Rao to pick your dream red lehenga.
Of course, our first choice from the brand is the Rosette lehenga, worn by Bhumi Pednekar for Khush’s recent cover. Crafted with raw silk and organza, the outfit features handcrafted roses and zardozi paired with a plunge neckline blouse and leg ‘o’ mutton sleeves.
As seen on Kiara Advani, we are leaning on the Vana Indrani lehenga for the classic bride. The raw silk creation is embroidered with zardozi and paired with a red tara buta pure silk dupatta with all-over zardozi border.
Looking for something OTT? Taara Florette lehenga will be perfect for you. The skirt is heavily-embroidered with zardozi and paired with a pot neck blouse with detailed mid sleeves and a zardozi embroidered dupatta with buttis.
Another extravagant pick from Mrunalini Rao that we are crushing over is Roma Lata lehenga. In an orangish-red colour, it is embellished with all-over zardozi and resham jaal work and ogee border.
If minimal defines your style, check out the brand’s Vana Nakshatra lehenga. Cut with red satin organza, the tara buta lehenga is highlighted with zardozi border and paired with raw silk zardozi embroidered blouse.
Want a fuss-free look for an evening event? You’ll love Mrunalini Rao’s Naima Chitra lehenga. In a beautiful burgundy-red shade, the pure silk creation comes with waistcoat style front-open zardozi blouse with a keyhole back. The plain skirt is apt to dance the night away in.
