Red is no longer most preferred for weddings

Traditional Indian weddings are synonymous with red, especially since it is considered auspicious.
But, that seems to have been undergoing a change lately, as a lot of brides are opting for something more contemporary. We take a look at some celebrity brides who gave red a skip recently.
Soha Ali Khan The first celebrity wedding of the year saw actress Soha Ali Khan tie the knot with long-time boyfriend, Kunal Kemmu.While the event was a private affair, the wedding wear was definitely not. The demure bride looked every bit the royal that she is in a orange and cream lehenga with gold work that she wore for the wedding ceremony, and for the reception, she chose to wear a fuschia pink and gold lehenga. In fact, even for her mehendi, Soha chose to wear a pink kurta.
Kim Jagtiani VJ host Kim Jagtiani tied the knot with her restaurateur boyrfriend, Rohan Gupta, end of last year. She had a destination wedding at a Rajasthan fort and had her friends and relatives over from Canada and India. Kim’s favourite colour seemed to be black as she sported different outfits of that colour for various functions of her wedding. But, for her actual wedding ceremony, Kim chose to go with a gold and peach lehenga, which had a tinge of green.
Dia Mirza Dia opted for a gold and green traditional joda, inspired from the Mughal era and had zardozi work. For her reception, she opted for a peach and gold contemporary lehenga. At her wedding too, she didn’t have any red outfits for her sangeet and mehendi ceremony, and wore purple and orange.
Prianka Vohra The bride of actor and VJ Rannvijay Singh chose to go with something that was not red for her wedding. She wore a gold and cream lehenga that had intricate detailed work done, which she teamed with some heavy jewellery. The slim bride looked pretty as a picture with her husband complimenting her in a charcoal suit.
Raageshwari Loomba Actress and singer Raageshwari gave red a skip at her wedding, as she decided to tie the knot in a peach organza lehenga. It was a sheer net ensemble that had sequinned white borders. The lehenga was flared and the bottom of the skirt was covered with white thread sequinned embroidery.
Sameera Reddy Actress Sameera tied the knot with Akshai Varde last year in a quiet ceremony. She sported an orange and gold brocade sari, which had only a tinge of red in the pallu. Sameera teamed the sari with a gold waist belt and looked stunning.
