Making quite a rip-roaring comeback in bridal fashion, while seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary elegance to your wedding wardrobes, fishtail lehengas have garnered quite the popularity amongst brides. From its form-fitting silhouette that hugs the curves and flares out dramatically at the hem, to the luxe fabrics and intricate embroidery that gives it a bold, yet royal allure, fishtail lehengas beautifully enhance one's femineity and grace, making them bonafide fashion icons. Exuding an ultra-glamorous vibe, these ensembles are perfect to wear at your reception and sangeet soiree, or a quirky Haldi, leaving some scope for vogueish experimentation.

While digital creator and actress, Ananya Panday's cousin, Alanna looks gorgeous in everything she adorns, let's admit it- her wedding wardrobe was quite the Pinterest inspiration! One such outfit was this whimsical stellar Papa Don't Preach ensemble that turned heads and how! From the power-sleeved bustier to the floral-inspired fishtail Lehenga, doesn't she look like a real-life aquatic princess? P.S. Personally, she played quite the role in making fishtail Lehengas a norm- what do you think?

Sahil Sharma, aka the fawned singer and record producer, Zaeden recently tied the knot with his beau, Nina Shah, and omg, she looked so stunning! Replete with a pearl-embroidered statement blouse, her nude, minimally embroidered fishtail lehenga is definitely a winner in our look-books!

Uff, we cannot get over this stunning 'Laal Ghagra' that influencer, Srishti Chabbra of the Cister Co. wore at her Sangeet ceremony to celebrate her upcoming nuptials with her longtime boyfriend! While we love the usage of lace on the fishtail silhouette, the entire aura exudes grace and pizzazz in equal measure.

And, how beautiful does this bride look as she turns heads in this sequined, floor-length fishtail gown paired with a sleek hairdo amid the serene seascape? Awakening my fashion-forward creativity, this would look resplendent as a lehenga too, especially with the regal trail- do you agree?

Even though the contrasting hues of the bridal attire are simply enticing, we can't help but notice the stylish juxtaposition - a modern take on your D-Day magnificence replete with traditional gravitas! Fishtail Lehengas are all the rage this season, unlike the usual, voluminous Lehengas brides usually wear!
