Designers Monica and Karishma of JADE presented their upcoming bridal collection Videha's Siya.
The collection was inspired by the celebrated love story of Lord Ram and Sita, depicted in the form of Mithila art.
The bridal wear displayed here, was an exclusive preview to JADE's wedding couture collection for the Vogue Wedding Show to be held in August this year.
What's interesting was, the outfits were handpicked to suit three occasions -- sangeet and mehndi, morning wedding and reception.
Take a look!

The sangeet and mehendi look
IMAGE: Add some spunk to your sangeet with colourful dhoti pants. The silk flowing slit skirt worn over the silk dhoti pants with embroidered accents add a layered feel to the outfit.
IMAGE: A red lehenga, pink top and yellow dupatta will add some drama to your sangeet. Throw in a giant bindi and flowers intertwined to your hair, and you will have one memorable affair.
IMAGE: You can also keep it simple and elegant in a gorgeous blush pink lehenga like the one above. The silk dupatta lends a royal touch while the sheer jacket adds up to the glamour.
IMAGE: The cropped top is designed to envelop the body and it matches well with the silver waistband. The silk dupatta goes beautifully with the flowing purple and orange lehenga with motifs. In a nutshell, this is the outfit you need, to rock your mehendi/sangeet.
A golden look for a morning wedding
IMAGE: How about an opulent lehenga for the new-age bride? Give the traditional red and maroon lehengas a miss and opt for something more contemporary and elegant like this heavily embroidered lehenga.
IMAGE: Yet another classic and ethereal lehenga! It makes for the perfect outfit for a day event.
The elegant reception look
IMAGE: Blue is the new red. Make a sweeping statement at your reception with a royal blue lehenga with huge silver motifs and an heavily embroidered top. Keep it stylish with side-swept hair.
IMAGE: Ditch the choli for a contemporary blouse like this one! It goes brilliantly with a short bob and a semi-precious necklace.
