If you are a bridesmaid-to-be planning your looks for the wedding season right now, let us tell you that the hottest trend of the season is not the colour blue, and it's not corsets, and it's not even the skinny dupatta. The hottest trend of the season is wearing age-old crafts. Jamdani, Ajrakh, zardozi, chikankari, banarasi silk...this season, we're going back to our roots. One such craft to embrace this wedding season is Bandhani.
