The color of a lehenga is often the standout. The right color combination with well-chosen embroidery, fabric and detail can enliven the entire look or outfit. Other than the classic red and gold combination, you can try lehengas in jewel tones, pastels, bright shades, and other interesting pairings.
Here are some color combinations you should consider for your festive look in the coming days.
Red and Gold for a Traditional Look
Try going for red and gold for a traditional look. Red and gold are traditional Indian colors often worn on auspicious occasions, especially in wedding outfits with embroidery. A stunning red lehenga with gold zari, sequins, or threadwork makes a great bridal outfit.
This color combination works great on its own; no need to experiment with extra layers. Choose fabrics like velvet, silk, or brocade if you use red and gold. You should finish the look with a pair of golden jhumkas, a maang tikka, a stack of bangles, and a statement necklace. If your lehenga cholidesign has heavy embroidery, try to keep the accessories light.
Emerald Green and Blush Pink
Emerald green and light pink make excellent contrasting colors, suitable for daytime events. The darker color adds some definition to the fit while the blush pink keeps it light.
A pink organza lehenga dress with emerald embroidery can be a good pick for a mehendi or engagement ceremony. You can wear pearl earrings, thin bracelets, and little to no makeup for a complete look with this color combination.
Royal Blue and Silver
Royal blue and silver are good colors for evening celebrations. Dark blue provides a strong base, while silver embroidery / sequins add a shimmer when you walk in indoor lights.
A chiffon or georgette silver skirt gives a lighter look and appears lovely from top to bottom. You can complete the look with simple heels, a metallic clutch, and silver earrings. This combination works very well for receptions and cocktail weddings.
Multicolor Lehenga for a Bright Statement
A multicolor lehenga provides ample opportunities to experiment with multiple shades if you like to wear them together. Embroidery, borders, or the dupatta can be used to combine pink, orange, yellow, turquoise, purple, and green.
The outfit is already full of colors, so jewelry doesn’t have to be as flashy. Choose one standout piece, such as chandelier earrings or a statement necklace, and keep the rest of the accessories minimal.
Pastel Shades for a Softer Look
Pastel combinations work well when you want colors but not as bright. Different combinations of lavender, mint green, powder blue, peach, and soft yellow can give a flattering look.
A multi color lehenga with pastel shades can give a layered effect without cluttering the look. These colors work well with net, tulle, and organza as they bring a lighter look to the outfit.
Orange and Magenta for Daytime Functions
Orange and magenta are great colors for daytime celebrations. This mix is perfect for mehendi ceremonies, haldi events, and outdoor weddings.
The shades of a colorful lehenga can be paired with green or uncut-diamond jewelry. Another way to add a different color without altering the main one is to layer with a contrasting dupatta.
Ivory and Wine for a Rich Contrast
Ivory and wine go well with each other without using very bright colors. The base can be ivory, and the wine can be in the borders, embroidery, blouse, or the dupatta.
For an evening wedding, a multicolor lehenga choli with ivory, wine, and gold can be a great choice. Kundan earrings, a small maang tikka, and gold bangles can provide detail without detracting from the outfit.
Teal and Coral for Something Different
If you’re looking to break out of the traditional lehengas color palette, consider teal and coral. Teal gives depth, and coral gives color.
This multicolor lehenga set can be worn with coral-toned makeup and statement earrings. Metallic shoes are great because they can bring the other colors together without adding another strong color.
Conclusion
The right color combination can give your multi-color lehenga a completely different look. There are a lot of palettes to choose from, ranging from striking jewel tones to gentle pastels. Select colors and patterns for fabrics, jewelry, and accessories that harmonize with the colors, not clash with them. Most of all, choose a pair that is comfortable, personal and appropriate for the situation.
