Aamby Valley India Bridal Week 2010: Neeta Lulla

Neeta Lulla is well-known in India as a fashion stylist and costume designer. Lulla’a strength lies in her opulent lehengas and saris. And for Aamby Vally India Bridal Week 2010 her strength shines in her Nawabi ambience inspired pieces complete with Swarovski crystals and heavy embroidery in a range of colors from pastel to jewel tones. She’s also one of the prominent names to showcase at the Aamby Valley India Bridal Week in 2010, making the frontpage of Vogue India’s portal. For this fashion week, Neeta designed a collection that was inspired by the Nawabi ambience. It is “Bollywood glamour at its best”. From double saris to evening gowns in rich fabrics such as silk, brocade, tulle, lace and velvet, Lulla’s bridal wear is Bollywood glamour at its best. These saris are set to dazzle; simply perfect for the traditional bride or pre-wedding events such as mehendi & sangeet.

I absolutely love the color and texture of the lehenga above. The richness and contrast is striking for any bride or member of her entourage.

Love, love, love the color combination above!

Here are a few more from her collection:
