Less Is More: Fresh Trousseau Inspiration For The Minimalist Bride
From low-key prints to clean lines, there’s something for every kind of low-key bride…
In the era of the OTT, minimalists seem to be under-represented. The thoughts of intricate embroidery, understated jewels and neutral colours that whisper synergy, seem to be lost in the sea of the-who-shall-not-be-named's wedding.
Over the past few years, we’ve seen the emergence of the modern bride who doesn’t think twice before eschewing tradition and sticking to her style. With the focus shifting towards quality over quantity, minimalist brides are free to explore a wider array of fabrics, prints and silhouettes for their wedding looks. But landing on the right one can still be tricky.
Luckily, we have your back. Below, catch fresh trousseau inspiration for the minimal bride that will still get you all the newly wedded feels, without the 30kg dress burden.

For those of the minimalist mind, there’s nothing quite like symmetrical motifs inspired by nature. When combined with pastel tones of blush pinks and sage greens, it’s a match made in sartorial heaven.

Appliques, clean lines and structured silhouettes. The power of these, paired with a monotone ensemble, is unmatched.
Classics all the way

It’s a suit, it’s a dress. It’s a super ensemble. Creams, metallics and a classic Anarkali are clearly the way to crack the minimalist code.

Even the minimalist in you might look for an X factor. Invest in timeless crushed silks and avant-garde blouses to amp up your glam Q.

Butter yellow may be the colour du jour, but it has long established itself as the 'it' shade for nailing the Indian cottage-core aesthetic. The intricate hand-embroidered florals are just the cherry on top.
