Thanks to Bollywood, the wedding Sangeet ritual has become an extremely popular and mandatory part of Indian weddings across the country as well as one that is most awaited by the adults and youngsters alike. Since the Sangeet is an elaborate and glitzy affair, the bride-to-be has one more outfit to fret and be excited about. Should the outfit be as exquisite as the wedding and reception outfits? Should it be heavy or light, pastel or royal, experimental or traditional?
Tamarind Global, one of the leading luxury wedding planners has its pulse on the latest trends in the Indian weddings scene. ‘Trends with Tamarind’, is a unique concept ideated by brand Tamarind as a guide to the millennial wedding in light of the dynamic evolution of the wedding industry. The motive is for Tamarind to provide insights on various aspects of the planning process with curated content by partnering with key experts and partners in the industry. As the Sangeet ritual gains more importance, Tamarind showcases the Natasha Dalal Label for bridal sangeet outfits in Sangeet trends.
Natasha talks about how comfort is key when choosing the Sangeet outfit. Heavier outfits can be cumbersome during the song and dance ritual which is the cornerstone of a sangeet. She feels that today’s bride can forgo conventions and norms on colours and silhouettes and opt for whatever works for them – she endorses pastels at night as a refreshing change. She reports that her clientele tips the scale in favour of a more modern than a traditional silhouette.
An important tip from Natasha to brides – stand your ground as far as what you like and don’t get swayed by too many opinions and most importantly stick to your instinct and don’t overthink it.
Here are her top picks for sangeet trends 2019-20:
● Heavy embroidery with lighter material
● Breakaway looks using feathers and capes
● Asymmetric shapes and hemlines
