Blue Outfits Trending At IBFW 2013

The Indian bride is usually seen in reds, oranges and pinks. You may see a Keralite, Gujarati or Christian bride in white. Yellow is bridal colour prevalent in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. However, when it comes to defining bridal fashion, red has always dominated the scene. But we are noticing an interesting trend at the Aamby Valley Indian Bridal Fashion Week 2013. There are hardly any red outfits to be seen.

Blue outfits seem to be trending at the Indian Bridal Fashion Week 2013. We have noted blue outfits in most of the collections displayed till now. Its just Day 2, two early to make a verdict. And yet it seems that blue will be the trending colour of the bridal season this year. The trend of blue outfits started with JJ Valaya's collection. The show-stopper Kangna Ranaut wore a deep royal blue choli over her multi-coloured lehenga.

The Jyotsna Tiwari collection was full of blue outfits. As the theme was fusion, blue seemed be an appropriate colour for this collection. But even the Spanish designs of JJ Valaya were itched in blue. So the trending colour for the modern bride is blue.

Here are some of the best blue outfits that we have seen at Indian Bridal Week 2013 till now.

As the JJ Valaya collection is inspired by Spanish designs, this gown owes its roots to the country side maids of Spain. The gown has an alternate black and white pattern on the bosom. It flares out into a beautiful sky blue gown from thereon.

This is the only saree-style gown of its type in this collection. It looks fascinatingly like a Greek wrap toga with all the neat pleats. But the shimmering golden belt and noodle-strap blouse ensure that it is indeed saree draped like a gown.
