Who says that bride always has to be decked in red or fuchsia? We totally understand if you want to a pastel peach as your wedding lehenga colour or even white! But then, where is the bright-hued bride these days? She's keeping the to minimum by adding it in subtle ways to her outfit. Whether it’s a candy apple red or a fiery hot pink there’s a million pretty ways to add some bold hues to your wedding outfit, here's how!

1. Bright lips

This is the simplest way to add in a little bit of pizazz in your entire outfit. Go for a bright red or tangerine, depending on your skin tone. Ask your makeup artist to go a little bold with makeup on the eyes.

2. Flowers in your hair

Accessories can make or break your outfit. It stands true for wedding outfits too. A bright flower or an arrangement in your hair can make you stand out. Bright nail paint or manicure glitter can also add a little glam!

3. Inner borders of your dupatta

Notice how Nishka Lulla lifted her pink dupatta with an inner facing of a 1 inch strip in cobalt blue? The inner facing is closest to your face, it shows up the most in photos and it MATTERS. Pick a contrast of bright colour to really make your outfit pop!

4. Jewellery that commands attention

We love this whole new wave of colored chura's instead of the traditional red ! Coral, baby pink, fuschia - these chura's are a great way to make your wedding outfit stand out. Where to find them: Babu Churiwala in Lajpat Nagar

7. Blouse ideas

An extremely important part of your wedding outfit is the blouse. And it is also an element that you can add a bit of colour too. A parrot green blouse over a traditional saree or a bright fuchsia one over a pastel beauty can add a glorious finishing touch.

8. Shoe Fetish

No outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes—and your wedding day look is no exception. A pair of bright blue or even golden ones will add a certain glamour to your entire outfit. Make sure your wedding photographer includes a few shots of you wearing them and individual ones too! Hot pink Jimmy Choos? Enough said.

9. Tassels
