20 Orange Bridal Outfits For Bride-to-be

If you are a fashion buff, you will remember that last year was painted red in terms of Bridal fashion. Basically, red was the colour for bridal outfits that was trending in 2012. But surprisingly, we have hardly seen a handful of red bridal outfits at both IBFW 2013 and the ongoing DCW 2013. The focus seems to have shifted to orange lehengas and sarees.

In almost every bridal collection by fashion designers we have seen atleast a few orange lehengas and sarees. It is quite clear that orange is the 'in' colour for bridal outfits this year. In almost every part of India, red is the most acceptable and popular colour for bridal outfits. But fashion doesn't always follow the rules of propriety.

Besides, orange is a perfectly acceptable colour for the bride. The Indian bride is slightly superstitious when it comes to colours like white and black. But reds, oranges and pinks are perfectly acceptable colours for the bride to wear. So if you are bride-to-be waiting patiently to pick that one bridal outfit that is just for you, then make sure its orange!

And if you need choice then here are 20 orange bridal outfits picked from the IBFW 2013 and the DCW 2013 that can help you decide.
