Saying ‘I do’ in style

It is the season of fairs and festivities as the wedding season has already kick started in the capital. Recently, when DLF Emporio organised a wedding show called “The Treasury of Trousseau” the organisers invited three well-known stylists — Gautam Kalra, Niharika Bhasin Khan and Rhea Kapoor — to help the brides-to-be with their sartorial choices.

Rhea Kapoor, who is known for styling her sister Sonam Kapoor in Bollywood and red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, mentions that it was great to visit Delhi and help young brides. She says, “For me style is all about comfort. I feel there are three kinds of brides — modern, traditional and daring. Keeping in mind these personalities one can choose their look for the big day. I feel it’s very important for a bride to have comfortable shoes, one can go for good wedge heels that can carry the weight of the outfit and look stylish at the same time.”
Speaking about the beautiful and budget bride, Rhea adds, “If you are gearing up for your big day, don’t starve yourself. Be happy and flaunt your body the way it is, enhance what you like about your body. If you are a budget-friendly bride then while selecting your ensemble make sure you highlight any one thing. Either keep your jewellery heavy or invest in a nice outfit. Also incorporate loads of fresh flowers — they look beautiful and natural.”
Whereas, stylist Niharika Bhasin Khan, who is a National Award winner for her costume designs for Vidya Balan in Dirty Picture, feels that going on the colour route is the best way to go for new age brides. She says, “I am very fond of colours, I feel if you know your body type you can mix and match colours to get a fabulous look. It’s also important to get out of your comfort zone and experiment with different styles to know what suits you best.”
Niharika, who came back from Sri Lanka recently, mentions, “I am currently busy with the shooting of Bombay Velvet. It’s a period film directed by Anurag Kashyap and the jewellery and clothes that I am using in this film are very different. The work is exhausting but the fun part was the research that I had to do for this movie.”
