Minimalist look

With lighter shade, the winner is the wedding glow on the face. One can wear simple jewellery and minimal makeup, which is less cakey and simply does the work of enhancing the shape of the face. Simple sleek or messy buns can add to the pastel lehenga or the lighter outfit. You can pair the outfit with dark or contrast jewellery.

Variety to choose from

Do not limit yourself to one colour, if you still think that red is essential for the big day then you can switch the roles. Wear red for the reception and a lighter shade for the wedding ceremony.
