* Tennis bracelets, statement earrings and distinct cocktail rings are hot this season.

* Soft fabrics and trendy outfits are high on fashion. For functions like cocktails, sangeet and reception, brides can wear western cut gowns or draped gowns.

* Simple, modern and clean designs are being sought after as they are much lighter than the traditional heavy jewellery.

* Hues of peach, pink, blue and green is the colour palate to explore in terms of jewellery.

* Bold statement earrings, featuring some of the new colour stones coupled with rose cuts and set in rose gold is the latest trend.

* As for bridal outfits, shades of red, aubergine and maroon in fabrics like velvet, silk and satin will be seen making a comeback.

* Elaborate cuffs on the wrist and a pair of gorgeous earrings can alone do the trick, if matched well, with either a gown or a sari.

* Experiment with your outfits' cuts and silhouettes and add some elements of hand work to give an edge in the outfit.

* Fusion wear is also a hit in bridal fashion now. Try different pairing like heavy dupattas with pants and unconventional blouses.
