Indian Wedding and Reception Stage Decorations

Ever so often I come across some amazing indian wedding or indian reception stage decorations. These are a few of my favourite indoor and outdoor wedding stage decorations. These are also perfect for colour themed wedding stage decorations.

Indian Bridal Fashion Week 2013 Rhea Singh

Nargis Fakhri was the show stopper for Rhea Singh collection at the Indian Bridal Fashion week. Rhea Singh kept it simple with bridal colours of red and gold. Loved the dress that Nargis Fakhri wore with the intricate long choli which was like a sharara. The ghagra was simple flowing golden fabric with a thick red border. It was simply beautiful and looked very elegant. I loved the play of color combinations of red, gold, mauve, orange, green and royal blue. The dresses were very bridal and wearable.

Indian Bridal Fashion Week 2013 Manish Malhotra

I must say I was surprised to see so much black in Manish Malhotra's collection at the Indian Bridal Fashion Week 2013. I am used to the pinks, reds and oranges which Manish is brilliant at showcasing, but the combinations of brown, green and pink just did not work for me. The dresses looked a bit bulky for the most part and not elegant. Here are a few of my picks from Manish's collection.

Deepika Padukone was a show stopper in this gorgeous Manish Malhotra black velvet lehenga with beautiful kundan necklace type adornment. This was probably the only black outfit that I liked from Manish's collection.



The blue and yellow combination for the lehenga is very unique and I think this Manish Malhotra piece will be good for sangeet or engagement function.


This beautiful peach coloured anarkali lehenga by Manish Malhotra is perfect for the reception. The neckline is a little too deep but that can be fixed.


The red velvet lehengas are perfect for the wedding or the reception. Being velvet already gives it the heavy look (they must be really heavy too) and combining them with gold jewellery is really easy because of the golden border and designs.






This navy blue Manish Malhotra anarkali dress is so elegant for a cocktail party or even the receiption. Combine it with a gorgeous necklace and you are all set.

Indian Bridal Fashion Week Rohit Bal

Rohit Bal did two things right at the Indian Bridal Fashion Week 2013. First, he made Sonam Kapoor his show stopper. There's no denying that Sonam Kapoor is the ultimate style diva in Bollywood right now. Second, he stuck to the basics of bridal lehengas and kept it real simple with flowy fabrics and traditional cholis and lehengas. No over-the-top embroidery or weird cuts that just dont look good on a bride. Absolutely loved Sonam Kapoor in the traditional Rohit Bal cream and golden lehenga choli with the dupatta neatly draped on one arm and tucked in on the other side.


Loved Rohit Bal's traditional red and golden bridal lehenga cholis. The velvet choli with delicate golden embroidery really steals the show.



I also liked his anarkali lehengas in black, red, golden and white. The mughal embroidery on the top instead of on the lehenga gives it a different look altogether.



These lovely cocktail sarees are a definite attention grabber because of the beautiful neckline on the blouses. The lace fabric beautifully contours the body shape giving it that sexy yet chic look.
