Times Are Changing And So Are Indian Dulhans

Shy, demure, eyes cast downward.....stop! Cut to 2016, Indian brides are bold and not shy of their preferences. In a recent photoshoot, actress Illeane D'Cruz showed us the perks of being a baddas bride and we couldn't stop oogling! 

The Queen

New modern brides are what we saw in the movie 'Queen' where Kangana rightfully portrayed their independence. New age brides are boldly independent and it shows in the wedding too. 

Experiment with clothes

Giving a break to red lehengas and white bridal dresses, the modern brides are experimenting with their looks and have no inhibitions about it. 

Choosing wedding locations

They don't want to go the traditional route with the big havelis and exotic locations as their wedding venue. Instead, they are keen on choosing quirky wedding locations. 

Bold beauty

They do not stress and fret over marriage plans. Instead the whole event is a fun quirky affair that they want to enjoy. 

Choosing dresses carefully

Brides nowadays do not choose their attire by its look or how heavy it is. Instead they are opting for comfortable lehengas and dresses that are light to carry. 

Choosing a partner that suits them

No grooms are not choosing their brides, instead brides are choosing their grooms. They are not succumbing to societal pressures and taking their own time to select the ideal life partner. 

No brooding

These brides do not brood over a pimple mark or a pound increase in their weight. Instead they make sure that they are laughing their way throughout the whole affair, it's their wedding afterall. 

Minimum Jewelries

Gone are the days when brides were covered from head to toe in gold jewelries.Now, brides tend to go minimal with their jewelery choices and like to keep it simple. 

Three cheers for the modern Indian brides we say!
