Choose Your Wedding Lehenga by Skin Tone(Not by Trend)
Post Published on: & Last updated on:
Brides, stop scrolling trending Lehenga designs on social media. The lehenga that's exploding on every reel might look divine on the model—but will it look divine on you at 7 p.m. under golden mandap lights?
The truth is, the perfect bridal lehenga isn't about what's trending on Pinterest… it's about what flatters your skin tone. Your wedding colour can make or break your look. The right shades can make your skin look radiant, your jewellery shine brighter, and your entire outfit feel balanced.
Here's your zero-confusion cheat sheet.
1. Fair Skin Tones
Think Alia Bhatt glowing in a scarlet Sabyasachi.
Warm, saturated hues are your superpower.
Go-to palette: ✦ Deep maroon ✦ Burnt orange ✦ Royal gold ✦ Forest green
Skip: Baby pink, icy pastels—they can wash you out. Pro tip: Pair a rich ruby lehenga with polki that’s heavy on the gold; your skin will drink up the warmth.
2. Medium / Wheatish Skin Tones
Remember Deepika’s mustard Manish Malhotra moment? That’s your blueprint.
Earthy + jewel hybrids light you up.
Hero shades: ✦ Coral pink ✦ Teal blue ✦ Mustard yellow ✦ Olive green
Skip: Neon anything—too harsh. Pro tip: Layer a coral dupatta over a champagne blouse; the contrast makes your collarbones pop.
3. Dusky / Deep Skin Tones
Picture Priyanka Chopra owning wine velvet like royalty.
