Colors
Beautiful reds are everywhere—dark burgundy, cherry red and brick. Gold, aqua green, old rose pinks, deep plum, aubergine, royal blue and turquoise are other favorites. Traditional colors like red and pink are being mixed with off-beat shades like blue and lime green, not because brides want traditional colors, but because all colors don’t look good on Indian skin.

The rouge, lips and eyelids give a contemporary sparkle and heavily kohl lined eyes the much-needed traditional touch. Attractive accessories like beautiful crystals, flowers and other hair jewellery are used to make the hairstyle more noticeable. Big buns are replaced with relaxed yet stylish updos |
