It's the shaadi season and the focus is on the soon-to-be-wed couples, especially the bride.
Dulhans are going maximalist, creating a look that celebrates dazzling colours, luxurious fabrics and rich jewellery.
Celebs have long been a source of inspiration for those seeking to make a grand statement on their wedding day.
For the modern bride, this means combining traditional elegance with extravagant flair -- an aesthetic filled with lavish embellishments, intricate embroidery and an unapologetic embrace of opulence.
