Body-type holds true importance in determining the look you shall have on your wedding day. Instead of imitating the trends, go for something that flaunts your body type. For the petite frames, it should be about silks, net or organza lehengas while the curvy ladies should opt for georgette, velvet or brocade to accentuate their look.

Bridal Lehenga shopping should happen a good 3-4 months before the wedding. This is also when the first trial session should happen.
