Bengali weddings tend to very traditional but that doesn’t mean that a bit of modern flavours cannot be thrown into it. There are various ways to spice up the attire without going overboard. Bengali brides tend to dress in the traditional saree and jewellery but what if you could do it a bit differently? That is the key to getting the contemporary look that you have to think out of the box. Most Bengali brides tend to dress up in the same fashion with a colourful benarasi draped around a multitude of jewellery.
Try a limited amount of jewellery
Although jewelleries are still favoured gone are the days when women used to wear multiple jewelleries together. Go for something a bit simpler. This means that wear jewellery which is absolutely needed and will help with the attire and nothing more than that. This can be a good set of bangles and a neckpiece along with a simple tiara of gold chain. It works perfectly with any fancy benarasi and accentuates your beauty in a very elegant way. Also make sure that you keep your arms a bit clear of heavy number of bangles as that looks cluttered.
Wear benarasi with unorthodox colours. When you are picking the saree for your wedding day of course you do not wish to get one which is drab and dry looking. It is mandatory that the colours stand out and make an impact. But it can be done without the common red and gold colours which everyone tends to wear. Go for simpler colours like pink and blue. They work perfectly and will create a very unorthodox look. However make sure that the designs on the saree are very intricate and bright. That will help retain the wedding flavour without going full traditional. You will have the traditional aspect of the dress along with a simple dash of contemporary.
Simple minimalistic make up
When you are getting themakeup done try to hold on back before you go overboard. Simple eye liner and mehendi works fine in creating the perfect wedding look. You do not need a face filled with bindis etc. The less you use to accentuate your beauty the more elegant the entire appearance becomes. You can go for a simple bindi which is a tradition of the Bengali brides as that with a contemporary wedding saree and minimalistic jewellery works wonderfully. Also try to get the simple mehendi patterns on your hand as well since that is a great addition if you are trying to create a contemporary Bengali brides look. Overall try to see which works well with what. Many people can carry the colour clue while some would be better suited with dark cherry so understand what will work for you. And the minimalistic approach balance needs to be hit exactly on the dot. So make sure you figure out everything beforehand and not keep it for later.
