First is deciding between a sari or lehenga or sharara or gown, then comes finding a silhouette that compliments you, then you need to factor in any themes you may be following for your wedding functions, followed by that, you need to figure out whether you want something that is designed for you or if you’d like to wear something off-the-rack, and lastly, what colour palette are you picking for the big day.

Which colour should your bridal ensemble be, based on your zodiac sign?

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo And Saggitarius

Fire signs are passionate and carefree. They love having all eyes in the room on them, and so they tend to be braver and more experimental when it comes to their wedding outfits.

Aries: Fiery Red

The fiery red not only goes well with their bold and assertive personality but also is the colour of their home planet, Mars.

Leo: Gold or Orange

Leo, on your big day, you need to pick a colour palette that shines are bright as you!. Pick shades like golden and bright orange that project grandeur and prosperity.

Saggitarius: Yellow or Purple

Saggitarius are adventurous beings and you like being a trailblazer among your circle. For your big day, you’re more likely to opt for new trends. From Madhuri Dixit to Ananya Panday, the latest celebrity-approved colour of the season for lehenga has been the royal hue, purple. But if you are looking for something warmer, dip into thebutter-yellow trendthat has taken over the internet.

Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

Earth signs are usually grounded and hence they wouldn’t want to go wild with their bridal ensemble. They are likely to pick for timeless pieces that they can wear more than once.

Taurus: Pink or White

Ruled by Venus, pinks and whites are considered to be among the lucky colours for a Taurean and the two timeless shades will never go out of style, when it comes to Indian ensembles.

Virgo: Blues or neutral beige

Virgos are simple beings and love clarity and order. For their big day, they might opt for a cool blue lehenga with a shade that soothes their soul. Or, they may also opt for heirloom pieces with neutral and beige tones that are more subtle and understated.

Capricorn: Midnight Blue or Emerald Green

Capricorn, you are most likely to rewear a family heirloom that represents treasured memories of your loved ones for your wedding day. But if you’re putting your faith in the power of the zodiac to pick a colour for you, the stars indicate going for classic and elegant shades like a deep, dark blue or an ethereal, emerald green. You are practical and responsible, hence you will opt to invest in longer-lasting fabrics with classic silhouettes and superior quality.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius

Air signs are unlikely to walk the path commonly taken, they like to dance to the beat of their own drum. And when it comes to their big day, expect them to pull out all the stops.

Gemini: Yellow, Gold or Orange

Geminis tend to be happy and bright souls who are usually extremely friendly and optimistic. To match their ‘golden retriever’ energy, they’re likely to pick a lehenga of shades that are bright and lively.

Libra: Pastels and Whites

Libras always seek harmony and peace in life. And so, for their big day, they’re likely to pick a pastel shade like lavender, baby pink, sky blue or even white, which resonates with their wish for a happy and tranquil married life.

Aquarius: Turquoise or Silver

Aquareans will not listen to anyone when it comes to picking their bridal outfit but their temperament will always remain cool, calm and collected. Hence, turquoise — a symbol of creativity and tranquility — will be right up your alley. And if you’re into the silver, it’s because it speaks to your unbothered and problem-solving nature.

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

As the name suggests, these three zodiac signs tend to go with the flow but can be unpredictable by nature. Water signs tend to be romantics at heart and easygoing, hence water sign brides will likely opt for outfits that resonate with the wedding of their dreams.

Cancer: White

Like the glistening surface of the water or the crashing of waves, brides of this zodiac sign will opt for a fuss-free shade like white, which is equal parts ethereal and timeless.

Scorpio: Maroon or Crimson

The colour of passion, mystery, love and intensity, a deep red, maroon or crimson-coloured lehenga will complement your overwhelming emotions on your big day.

Pisces: Pink or Light Green

The colour green represents life and what better representation of taking on a new chapter in your life than by donning a bridal ensemble of the same shade? It’s even considered to be auspicious in many cultures. However, if it doesn’t fit your style sensibilities, opt for a pink lehenga, which compliments your charming personality.
