Colours to mix and match

A vibrant and lively colour, lime green comes in between yellow and green on the colour wheel. It is neither too dark nor too bright, and hence goes well with several colours. If you find a head to toe lime green lehenga to be too intimidating you can pair it with a choli in colours like ivory, black, pink, yellow and gold.

A stunningly beautiful colour, lemon yellow was recently worn by the celebrity bride Mira Rajput (Shahid Kapoor’s wife) for her mehendi. Taking a cue from her, you can pair a lemon yellow lehenga with peach, various shades of pink, blue, red or even black.

Accessories

A quirky bride can try on some colour blocking with the accessories. But, if you do not want to experiment, then go ahead and match your shoes with the colour of the dupatta or thread work/embellishment on your lehenga.

Jewellery

The exotic citrus colours would look amazing when paired with gold jewellery. You can even opt to wear a classic kundan jewellery set to complement any of these citrus hues. Try silver or white gold jewellery only if the outfit has silver embellishments.

Hair and makeup

To do justice to your citrus wedding outfit, your makeup has to be perfect. We recommend the bride-to-be to go for well sculpted and blended cheekbones with a dewy finish to the skin. The brides should highlight their eyes, which is the best feature of most Indian girls. Match the colour of your eyeshadow with your outfit. Pick eyeshadows in bright hues with shimmer base and finish off with beautiful dark black eyeliner, smudged kohl and lots of mascara. To add more drama to the look, sport false eyelashes. Choose a hairstyle that complements the shape of your face. You can style your hair in a messy bun or long braid with flowers, if you are not too sure about the hairstyle that will suit you.
