Pastel Is Our New Red!

Over the years, our South Asian brides have been able to break the cultural boundaries and step out of their comfort zone regarding bridal wear.

From wearing the bold and beautiful red, which is believed to be a symbol of love and passion, they have adapted to more neutral tones. For example, the stunning shades of pastels have taken a big win recently. More brides have worn it than we can count; although it does not have a cultural meaning behind it, everyone seems to love it!

Some brides still wear red, but unfortunately, it is not the go-to colour anymore.

For a bride looking for an elegant yet fashion-forward look, pink or mint pastel lehengas are the way to go; the details and undertones on many pastel colour lehengas make them so graceful and fashionable; to us, it seems like that there is just a lot more that can be done with a neutral colour. You have more options as these colours pair well with everything, making it a lot easier to develop a colour palette for your wedding.

The look of a bride isn’t just about their bridal wear. Their jewellery, the shoes, the hair & makeup, are all part of it, and you must plan it perfectly, even though red again is a beautiful colour, there isn’t room to play around with it.

We at SAWC believe that wearing a red dress for your wedding will leave you with a minimal amount of options for the other essential features that go into creating the perfect wedding look.

We recommend neutral-coloured bridal wear as we believe it adds more to the bridal look. Don’t forget that the gold and red combo is still as fashion-forward as any other colour for those brides who still want to wear red!
