Hello lovies!!! Long time no speak, isn't it? I've been seriously stressed with school this semester, and I've been going through a bit of a blogger existential crisis, which I've been working through with the help of the lovely Rabbia of Asian Wedding Ideas and Ruby at Rubies and Ribbon. But, more on that later. I am starting to think a lot of the emotional stuff I'm going through, brides must be facing, so maybe I'll turn them into Zen Bride posts for the blog.
Still, it's reading week at uni, so I'm a bit more relaxed and I've been browsing the web for some inspiration. I found this extremely pretty collection of bridal and formal wear whilst browsing on Pinterest. These are by Jaya Misra, a designer whose work I don't believe I've had the pleasure of coming across before.
The first three are from Jaya's Bridal Collection. She favours intense hues for palette and the fabrics are textured, with quite a bit of velvet and satin. She creates volume and drama through the use of flounces and gores to open up the skirts.

The next two are from the spring/summer collection and are very simple, structured sarees made from stiffer, natural weave fabrics, such as silk and cotton. I love the framing and styling of both shoots, from the architectural details and drama of the first, to the natural lighting and the gorgeous model in the second. I love that they've left her hair curly and voluminous. I feel like curly hair is not something we see enough of in style South Asian shoots.
