In this article I’d like to share information on the main questions to concentrate for all those who would like to buy wedding bridal lehanga online. Lehanga is a fantastic dress on its own right and it’s a unique and outstanding choice for being a wedding dress for all those, who would like to look unique and beautiful in the same time.
About Lehanga:

Lehanga is an interesting case of a dress, where the emphasis is almost fully on the extra-long skirt which is called “Gagra choli”. The Lehanga is a traditional womenswear originating from the Northern regions of India, but today it’s been worn all around the country. It’s a popular choice of dress in Bollywood movies and it also represents the sexier traditional dresses as it generally leaves the stomach area fully bare. We can also get to see women wearing Lehanga during traditional dance shows.

As for its general outlook, the key element is the long and wide skirt, which is made out of a highly decorated beautiful and often very colorful fabric. This is then paired up with a simple tight short shirt leaving the stomach area bare. The whole outfit is often crowned with a big scarf the style of which is in sync with the skirt or it’s straight made out of the same material. The scarf (odhni) is worn either on the arms, over the shoulders or it can also cover the head. Bridal Lehenga is worn with tons of charming Indian jewelry, out of which I’d definitely mention the head-jewelry, the earrings and the beautiful large golden necklaces.

The questions to ask before you buy wedding bridal lehanga online

Now, let’s get on to the questions:

1.) How long before wedding should you buy the Lehenga?

Ideally at 6 month before the wedding you should start looking actively, mainly because of the customizations you may need or ask for. This cannot be done by all online stores and often you will need to find a good tailor nearby to make the adjustments for you.

2.) Where to look for a Lehenga?

You can start looking for ideas online. There are some sites, like Pinterest which are just perfect for checking first, for you to get a main idea and inspiration on the Lehenga that you like the most. There are several e-commerce stores which can send you a quality designed Lehenga straight from India.

3.) The main style aspects to look for

Lehenga mostly come with shirts (choli) that reveal your stomach area. Make sure you will have your tummy in shape by the time of your fitting. Just in case, there are Lehenga with shirt/suit that bares the stomach too. Make sure the skirt is long enough but wear the bridal shoes during fitting to avoid surprises. Be aware that the skirts can be pretty heavy.

Bridal Lehengas are typically pink or red but you can choose a different fabric if you feel like, it’s all up to you. Make sure you have the upper mentioned questions in mind when starting your search for the perfect bridal Lehenga.
