THE WEDDINGTON WAY BRIDESMAID LOOK WITH AN INDIAN TWIST


Hollywood meets Bollywood in a bridesmaid avatar - Nimisha's choice

Today, as the world stands in notice of Indian inspirations in fashion, I, a Mumbai-based dusky girl from India could only pop surprises when I chose to don a Weddington Way bridesmaid dress from its Hollywood inspired style collection. I really like to stand out in a crowd and look different and pretty. So, here's my twist - I fused the Weddington Way bridesmaid Hollywood look with a dash of Bollywood sensuality and look what I've got here!

COLOUR BURST: India boasts of four distinct seasons — Spring (January-March), Summer (April - June), Monsoon (July - September) and Winter (October-December) and we celebrate each season with traditional festivals. The cuisine, fashion sensibilities and occasion-wear changes with these seasons. And the best time to truly enjoy going all stylish is during the wedding season. That's when the Big Fat Indian Wedding term comes into play. While Indians choose any good day to get married. The entire set of invitees (can range from 10 to 1,000 people or even more) get dressed for the occasion in beautiful hues with much enthusiasm. And the women wouldn't be caught ever repeating an attire worn at a wedding function. And that includes me, too :)


FAVOURITE FLOWY DRESS: Here's my favourite Weddington Way bridesmaid look:

RED ALERT: Indians love rich red colour. And that's my choice of hue in this comfortable and trendy bridesmaid attire

MAKE IT LOOK RIGHT: Teaming the attire with the right make-up can be a game-changer.




Lakme brand of cosmetics has the perfect red from its 9 to 5 range and I like the matte look which, doesn't smudge and stays for long hours. I need no touch up and since the shade is deep red, a lighter version would only make my lips look pinkish

HAIRSTYLE WITH SEASONAL FLOWERS: Indian seasonal flowers are sweet-scented and add a dash of natural prettiness to the bridesmaid. Fresh flowers are easily available in the local markets, they are affordable and can be complemented with the entire Weddington Way bridesmaid look.



Fresh seasonal small flowers can be tucked into the silky straight hair. The hairstyle would look soft and feminine.

BEJEWELED FEEL: At all times, a bridesmaid must remember to not outdo the bride. It's her big day so I have to play it right with my jewelry. I love rubies, diamonds, emeralds and gold. And a light-weight necklace that's shaped like a pretty choker would look dainty on my slender neck.

An elaborate neck piece looks exquisite and I could wear it without any need for earrings or bracelet. 

A bridemaid silk pouch called Batua by Toniq brand ( www.toniq.in ) with gold embroidery adds utility to my look. It's the perfect place to keep my cellphone safely and when its time for 'Selfies', I would be armed with it right around my wrist

KICK UP A STORM: A bridesmaid's look couldn't be complete without the right stylish footwear. And I would want to add those few inches to my heels and make the Bollywood inspired Hollywood bridesmaid's look come alive and kick-ass.

Christian Louboutin nude high heels with peep toes can look just so elegant

GIRL WITH THE BLUE SCARF says: weddingtonway.com has some lovely bridal looks. Check it out and look your stylish best. And don't forget to add a sensuous Indian touch to the Hollywood-inspired runway look.

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai. Fashion circles in both cities are abuzz with rumours about he being a toyboy for his godfather. Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d...

Choreographer and IPL fashion show coordinator Prasad Bidappa defends his expression of art — a calender of nude men, which leaked out in the public recently Prasad Bidappa was a hassled man recently as he prepared for the Indian Premier League 2011 show in Mumbai. Reason being: His hobby of exotic photography was costing him his reputation and ruining his sleep. Some of the pictures he had shot of nude males, which were sent to an exclusive friend list on email were mysteriously leaked out to in the public eye. Apart from hushed talks amongst the modelling circuit who are participating in Bidappa's own IPL fashion shows, a fashion blogsite too posted this incident as a scandal. Bidappa was unhappy, worried and restless. THE TALE: It was Sri Lankan photographer and artist late Lionel Wendt who's work inspired Bidappa for years. So, last year, Bidappa shot pictures of nude males in different sexual positions and compiled it for a select invitee list of friends. It was done wi...
