I believe in being different and standing out from things that other do or blindly follow. The same prevailed on my wedding. I am a Bengali and Bengali brides are expected to wear the traditional ‘Benarasi’ sari on the day of their wedding which is generally red or maroon in color. Heavy golden jewellery is the most opted for accessory and that is pretty much the look of a traditional Bengali bride.
When my wedding date was fixed, I was determined to prepare for a different look on the day I tie the knot with the person I love! I decided not to shop from Kolkata and landed in Delhi for a week to get done with my shopping list. My best friend is here in the capital so things became easy for me. She helped me spot the places for the best bridal jewellery shops in Delhi and all the places where I would find my wedding dress.

I thought of donning a lehenga instead of the traditional wear of Bengalis and I knew it would not be any shade of red. I was looking for a royal blue lehenga and luckily I got it from one of the designer stores in Delhi. The color was perfect for pearl jewelry and not gold. My next hunt was of pearl jewellery in Delhi and I got a pretty set after a lot of comparison. I also had a diamond set ready beforehand, gifted by my aunt. So I decided to mix and match the jewellery on the day of my wedding.
I am not a jewellery person or someone who like to flaunt heavy wedding dresses on their wedding. I would rather go for classy and comfortable clothes which would help me move around and stay at ease with style! My look on the D-day surprised many, and thankfully, they were pleasantly surprised as I looked exactly as I had planned and my stylist did the last magic! Simple is beautiful.
