India Bridal Fashion Week: First Up, Tarun Tahiliani

Obviously Shahzadis I am not lucky enough to attend this year’s Indian Bridal Fashion Week, but with the magic of the internet, I can now commence drooling over the first presenter at IBFW! All I have to say is that Tarun Tahiliani is just mesmerizing with his depiction of a bride.  In Tahiliani’s eyes.. a bride is truly a Shahzadi! Vogue India wrote,

“Highlights from Tahiliani this season include peplum cholis and asymmetrical lehengas that curl up shorter in the front and trail in the back. Also included were slim mermaid gown kurtas, trim sharara silhouettes and the fascinating evolution of the pre-stitched, belted sari and the sari gown — both of which Tahiliani is credited for launching into modern bridal trends.”

Here is a round up of my favorites from his collection!

Classy and vintage, the intricate designs of this piece showcases the care of creating a work of art but the colours give it a breezy feel about it that makes it look like a dream to wear on your big day!

An amazing outfit for the quintessential princess that played with tutus as a child.  This piece paired with its 1920′s styling is a juxtaposition of a Glam Princess! I love the net overcoat over top of the tulle lehnga.  It is so unique.. it makes me want to dance :)

I love the blush pink and the belted-ness of this outfit.  It’s just lovely.  I love his use of nude fabrics, complemented with light sweet colours.  I think the modern bride would love to be able to incorporate the traditional hints of pink with a more understated elegance of nude.

If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I am slightly OBSESSED with this colour; and with ombre taking the world by storm, it’s no surprise that I could not hold myself together while drooling over the keyboard.. what is a girl to do?? Too bad I’m already off the market… I love how Tahiliani marries tradition with current with the use of classic silhouettes and a trendy colour selection.

I love this design.  Boroque in nature, Tahiliani reaches into a gothic inspiration for this look.  For the Shahzadi that wants to make a big impact, I can see a strong, fierce bride carry off this look.  I love the shades of red, rust, maroon, with muted gold detailing that finish this look off so well! Again the 1920′s finger waves and dark eyes are really bringing royalty into this look.

I am loving it! I can’t wait to see what awaits me at the next show of India Bridal Week.

Stay tuned Shahzadis as I take you through all my favorites of this Wedding Season!

Leap into Colours by Pantone Fall 2012 Trend Report

HAPPY LEAP DAY! SHAHZADIS!

For those of you planning your weddings/events, you have an extra day of planning to get things perfect!! *YAY*

An event is a reflection of its host.  We all know this.  When you are planning an event my Shahzadis, the first place you should start is a theme.

Themes could simply be a colour combination.  Pantone came out with their hottest colour trends report for Fall 2012 and the colours are FANTASTIC!

Can you imagine a  Pink Flambe and Tango Tangerine combination?  It can be done for a ceremony or even a bridal shower or Mehndi <3 *LOVE*

Another colour I am just loving is Chartreuse!  You can center an entire event around this colour if you are feeling really bold, or use pops of this colour around your event.  Both applications are just amazing!

A really pretty colour combo for a Nikkah is using Blush tomes.. like the colour Rose Smoke

These colours are what’s hot right now. but remember… this event is yours and it should be what you want to see out of it! Make sure that you love your colour palette as it will be immortalized in the pictures for years to come.  I hope I was able to get those juices flowing! Let’s use this extra day in the year to get some solid planning done!
