In the Indian context, whenever one thinks of traditional bridal attire the color red is what comes to mind. Over the years, the signature red lehenga has stood the symbol of love, passion, and prosperity for brides-to-be. In recent times, we have begun to notice a movement out of red and into something different, the color green. This adventurous trend is beginning to establish green as the new go-to color for modern brides; and for good reason. The color green symbolizes fertility, growth and harmony and a green lehenga is the perfect way of showcasing that trait.
In this blog, we will highlight some of the most beautiful green lehenga styles, all of which are changing the traditional fashion cycle of red, and changing it into the new norm, green!
1. Emerald Green Color Lehenga
Emerald green is a rich, luxurious color that is both glamorous and sophisticated. This color is ideal for brides who want a timeless but regal look. An emerald green lehenga with gold embroidery or zari work provides an opulent feel that is ideal for lavish weddings. Deep green looks good on everyone and is therefore suitable for all skin tones.
Style Tip: Pair your emerald green lehenga with a matching emerald green dupatta with intricate gold borders and layer up the jewelry with a choker and earrings set.
2. Mint Green Color Lehenga
Mint green is ideal for brides who wish to maintain a refreshing, trendy look, while still staying true to tradition. Mint green is a lighter, pastel green and is perfect for brunch and summer weddings. Mint green lehengas often have soft, whimsical embroidery like florals or sequins, which add to the light, whimsical quality of the color.
Style Tip: To make your mint green lehenga feel contemporary, consider one that transitions in color from light mint to deeper green, with subtle ombre. Pair with simple, modern stud diamonds and a sleek maang tikka.
3. Olive Green Color Lehenga
If you’re looking to avoid the standard bridal colors but still want something deep and colored, olive green is a great option. Unlike many traditional lehenga colors that are bright and bold, olive green lehengas are more earthy, making them ideal for a bride who doesn’t want something too bright. Olive green compliments gold, copper, and bronze colors, so it’s perfect for a bride who wants to avoid traditional silver.
Style Tip: Olive green lehengas work well with rustic weddings or destination weddings. A nature-inspired bohemian style works well by pairing floral crowns, chunky gold jewelry, or even keeping it minimal with a simple bridal belt.
4. Forest Green
Forest green, a deep, dark shade, brings to mind the richness and mystery of nature. This color is perfect for brides who want a powerful and majestic bridal look. Forest green lehengas are often seen with heavy embroidery or embellishments, with floral, paisley, and geometric designs that stand out beautifully against the rich background. The depth of this color makes it ideal for evening or winter weddings.
Style Tip: Combine a forest green lehenga with a heavy gold or silver choli. A sheer net dupatta with intricate embroidery in contrasting colors like ivory or gold can create a striking effect.
5. Lime Green Color Lehenga Choli
If you’re a daring bride who enjoys color and is looking for a change, lime green is your color! This bright, zesty hue is lively and whimsical. It’s a wonderful choice for pre-wedding activities such as mehendi, sangeet, or a a lively cocktail party as the cheerful color is simply so fun. Lines of lime green lehengas often comprise lively new prints featuring bold florals, mirror work, and modern embroidery – all of which accentuate the color’s brightness.
Style Tip: Accessorize your lime green lehenga with a playful hot pink dupatta or coral one. This color combination will be energetic and lighthearted. Use light, fresh makeup to balance the color that you’re working with.
6. Green with Gold
The pairing of green and gold is a classic and striking combination that is just beautiful for a wedding. Green is such a lovely color, and when you pair it with gold, it is a match made in heaven. Whether you choose a mint green lehenga adorned with gold accents or a rich emerald green lehenga adorned with gold zari work, the pairing is timeless.
Style Tip: Go with a green lehenga with little to no gold embroidery on it, for a finished look that is sophisticated and balanced. A traditional bridal jewelry set of gold and emeralds will complete your look!
7. Dual-Tone Green Lehenga Set
If you’re searching for a unique look for your bridal outfit, a two-shaded green lehenga is definitely a fun option! This style lehenga can be in two shades of green – for example, in a gradient where the lehenga starts in a lighter green and then continues into a darker green. This style adds a modern touch to the traditional lehenga. This style is for brides who love color, but don’t necessarily want to completely stray from more traditional bridal colors.
Style Tip: You can add depth and visual interest to your outfit by pairing the two-tone green lehenga with a contrasting dupatta – such as a peach or ivory embroidered dupatta. Accessories should be kept simple to keep attention on the lehenga.
