In this new series, we bring to you a curation of looks that are the epitome of a Mani Jassal bride! Let this be your inspiration board for all your different wedding festivities, whether it be styling tips, venue ideas, or vendor recommendations… and of course the look!
Refined Rebellions - the brides who are unapologetically themselves and aren't afraid to break the rules of conventionality. They are glamorous, seductive, and always the center of attention. Our CHER LEHENGA with the matching CHER BIKINI BUSTIER and CHER DUPATTA (comes as a full set or separate pieces) is the perfect outfit for the edgy rebels.
Black is often discouraged as a colour for brides, but we help you push the envelope in our stunning CHER pieces that adorn you from head to toe in twinkling mirror work, adding light to the darker palette. The uniqueness of this bride continues with the double slits in the skirt which may start some gossip in the crowd, but they allow the bride to enjoy additional freedom, movement and some air in the dress. For chilly evening events or a hint of modesty, close up a slit or both!
We love the sexy bikini bustier silhouette for this look because here at Mani Jassal, we say, a little bit (or a lot 😉) of skin never hurt anybody. Sexy, Seductive, Glamorous whatever it may be, rebel in your own way. Customize select features of this outfit to make it uniquely yours and our all-women team can do it all for you. The Made-To-Order Cher Bustiers give you the freedom to pick your own silhouette and make this day all about you, you, and you!
FINISHING TOUCHES
Go for the diamonds and gemstones in your jewelry choices and play with mixing the metals with our gold and silver (mirror) embellishment on the CHER pieces. Keep it more minimal to let the rest of your look “shine”. A pair of long velvet burgundy (or our sheer Monroe Gloves) will incorporate just the trending dramatic element you are looking for. As for the dupatta, drape the short side over your head to leave a veil of sweeping stars behind you.
Amp up the look with some bold hair and make up. Channel your inner Wednesday Addams with some smudged eyeliner and a rich burgundy matte lip. Opt for a wet hair look slicked back with this outfit. It will give you a bold high-gloss finish departing you from the usual soft waves. OR Up the edge with a rock and roll inspired side part and multiple french braids on the opposite side for a faux shaven to finish off the look.
“The ability to not let others define you. It’s a gift”
- Marilyn Thornhill (Wednesday)
We didn’t forget about the BRIDAL PARTY.
Go with jewel tones for your Bridal Party, like deep navies, rich forest greens, royal violets or even extend the burgundies to tie them in with your vampy lip! The Groomsmen can match in coordinating colour ties under a black suit for the celebrations.
Themes/Venues
A Gothic Gala, a Celestial Night, a Masquerade, the Roaring Twenties or Midnight in Paris all have us dreaming of wearing the stunning CHER ensemble. Perfect for your Reception, Cocktail Dinner or an extravagant Bachelorette getaway where the themes set the stage for the extravagance. Hold your events in venues with open night skies, exotic resorts, modern banquet halls, architectural lofts somewhere in Vegas, Paris or New York! Otherwise, follow your audacious heart and rock this look for your main wedding ceremony and leave everyone with their jaws dropped!
Rewear in the future
Easily transform this lehenga from your bridal wear into a long-term wardrobe staple. Pair the skirt with a saturated coloured top for a fun high contrast sangeet look or a black-tie event. Challenge some office rules and wear the bustier under a suit and go from your desk to drinks by ditching your blazer for the evening. As for the dupatta, you can use it to dress up nearly every outfit in your ethnic-wear collection, with endless possibilities of ways to drape it.
