When Last We Met

@pearlypairings sent along a sweet little prompt for "crashing the party" and here we are. A stupid little bonbon for the Hellcheer crowd❤️

The captain’s quarters looked empty but by now she knew that meant nothing. Instead of rushing inside, she took her time to peer intently around the room.

The walls were lined with hide-bound books and maps to skies she did not recognize. The few spaces on the shelves not packed with texts showcased arcane curios and dazzling artifacts–few she recognized; but their intricacy and value was apparent to even those who had not traversed the Holy Seas and the Nine and Twenty sky channels besides. In stark contrast to these trophies of taste and sophistication were the instruments of murder mounted on the wall–blades and rifles frugal in design, the easier for claiming lives. Their simplicity spoke of their danger. Her starry, lavender gaze landed on the bay window framed by cobalt velvet curtains behind the wide desk (strewn about with telescopes and astrolabes and a cinnabar opium pipe) through which nothing but clouds could be seen. If she looked through, she’d see nothing but clouds until the faintest smudge of earth some 15,000 feet below. A beautiful emerald-green bird with elegant curling tailfeathers sat contentedly on a perch beside the desk, looking at her with a curious expression. Beneath her feet was a persistent but not unpleasant hum–the tell-tale sign of the pumping pistons and firing steam engines which kept this magnificent, mysterious vessel afloat above the unwitting citizens of Faerun.

Cosette raised her wrist to her flushed lips and whispered into the little topaz token embossed with her party’s totem. “The coast is clear.” Then she tugged her blouse up. It somehow kept riding down beneath her corset.

Luthandriel entered first, his radiant broadsword at attention as he scanned his flank for more pirates beyond those they’d already left gutted in the galley. Dumas followed, his halfling form obscured at first to Cosette by a massive globe depicting a far-off celestial landscape. He whistled in admiration as he absently strummed his zither, trailing silver sparks of enchanted music behind him. “Good taste for a barbarian,” he muttered as he pocketed an hourglass of fine dwarvish make. My’thias came last, his massive golden wings barely squeezing through the door such that he had to kind of half turn-out and scooch sideways to fit. He wiped pirate blood from his snout with a scaly claw. “Is it here? The codex?”

The Beggar’s Mercy spread out and began to search. All except Cosette who was made to stand by the door and keep watch because she. Well. Because they all told her she was the best at it, she guessed!

She shrugged her shoulders (pale, shimmering like quartz in the light) and sighed. Somehow the top of her bodice had gotten all pulled down again amongst the hooks and stays of her corset which was brocade and the color of a new dawn. You could almost see her nipples for um Tyr’s sake! She turned her gaze downward for just a moment to adjust herself and froze. There was something cool and violent positioned at the nape of her neck.

“You would do well,” a voice like charred and honeyed meat dripping with fat murmured into her ear, “To leave your garments as I fancy them.”

She did not move. There was the subtle but unmistakable click of a flintlock pistol. “Should have been more thorough in your search, pet,” the voice continued. A hand–huge and calloused and covered in rings–seized her by the waist….

Weakly, Cosette bleated, “Um, guys….” Luthandriel, Dumas, and My’thias turned and groaned.

“Did you investigate the room?” Dumas didn’t sound angry. Just deflated. Cosette blushed. “I did, I mean–I thought I did–”

My’thias flapped his wings in draconian agitation. “Passive perception isn’t the same thing, we TOLD YOU–” but Luthandriel cut him off. “The lady is new to our land and new to our laws,” he said in a lofty voice. “You would do well to extend her grace and courtesy.”

Against her neck, Cosette could feel the captain smirk. She squirmed in his incredible mighty powerful grip but no matter how hard she fought she couldn’t break free! “Your paladin speaks sense. I’d pay him mind. Now. Let us be reasonable. We’re all men of business here.”

“You’re no businessman! You’re a murderous sky-pirate!!!!” Cosette thought that sounded pretty good!!!

Into his fist My’thias could be heard to mutter, “Sky-pirates aren’t even high fantasy, they’re steampunk,” and dodged a caltrop aimed at his eye by the captain in return for his insolence.

“All men have their price. What’s a pretty rogue like this trade for on terra firma these days?” The captain punctuated his query with a hot swipe of his tongue along the side of Cosette’s face. She liquidated and swooned in his grasp. The party stared in flat-eyed disbelief.

Luthandriel whispered, “Nasty.”

Then the halfling, the paladin, and the dragonguy thing went into a huddle.

As they conferred, the captain rumbled in her ear, “Love the corset.” Cosette frowned. “I messed up the–the spying.” He laughed and rubbed his–no she wasn’t gonna say that part!!!!!!!–himself against her. “Little one, that’s half the fun.”

The huddle ended and Dumas stepped forward. He had an unconcerned expression on his face, like, he was actually pretending to clean his fingernails!!!

“What use have we for such a silly rogue? She brings us nothing but misery and ill-fortune. Take her. Have your way with her. All we ask is safe passage from your quarters and use of a lifeboat.”

Cosette gasped. “You…you little WORMS!!!” She stamped her foot! What the FUCK! She’d barely even gotten to DO ANYTHING!

The captain threw his head back and laughed, drawing Cosette ever closer against him. Her nipples were basically entirely exposed at this point, like there was some force outside her control drawing them out as if with a magnet. “I have her already within my power, halfling! You presume you have leverage? You’re lucky I don’t slit her throat where she stands.” Which, like–no. But also, like—hmmm!

Dumas sighed. “I thought you might say that. To sweeten the deal, we’ll throw in this.” He reached into the pocket where he’d stashed the stolen hourglass except now it looked like a freaking enormous diamond which twinkled and shone just like that one in The Rescuers! Cosette gasped. There was a pause. She could feel the captain settle and consider as he stared at the diamond. She wriggled a little against him, just once, just in case he like. Forgot his hostage!! Or something!

The captain tilted his head which she knew because the plume from his hat tickled her face. “That’s a fine stone, halfling. What’s to stop me from taking it from your cold fingers right now?”

Dumas tried to stand a little taller. “It’s four against one, Dreadnought.” Cosette felt a pink sweet thing uncurl in her chest at being included as one of the four. She should have known! Good old Dumas! The captain made a faux-thoughtful noise. “You’re right. Seems hardly fair.” And he snapped his fingers and three sky-pirates rushed into the room!

Foul and heartless they were, these pirates, with not one wink of compassion gleaming in their dull and greedy eyes. These were no mercenaries, who might be bargained with for a higher salary. These were bloodthirsty men, hardly men at all, expelled from the earth’s warm soil to the cold and bitter reaches of the heavens to better indulge their lawless appetites for treasure, ale, flesh, and murder! Their leader of sorts headed up the pack with a cutlass in his hand–in his horrible grin, the party could glimpse he had razors for teeth (ew!) which flashed with malice in the candlelight of the quarters. His companions each boasted pistols which they aimed at the party.

The Beggar’s Mercy sort of jockeyed for position amongst themselves, and Cosette took advantage of the distraction to wrest herself free from the pirate captain’s grip! Yeah!!! She heard him grunt once in surprise and maybe something else, oh my GOSH ANYWAY she was free. Then she reached to her belt (oooh it was pale deerskin from a market in Neverwinter and studded with silver coins from her finest heists!) and withdrew Shiver by her ebony handle. She steadied her hand and remembered her extremely tragical backstory in the dew-drenched woods of Collum’s Close. Then she took aim and threw Shiver directly into the heart of the farthest pirate! It was a deadeye hit! Her best shot ever!!!! Luthandriel and Dumas cheered. The pirate made a noise like “AURGH!” (everybody always kind of sounded the same when they died…..) and slumped to the floor. Viscous black blood began to drain from his lifeless body.

Dumas’s eyes went wide with glee. “Does that mean he’s–”

“He’s not undead,” the captain interrupted. Cosette could see his face now and it was VERY handsome :) “For the last time. These are not fucking undead pirates. Black blood is just cool.”

Dumas played a pissy little riff on his zither and pouted. “I think undead pirates are pretty cool too but what do I know….”

“She doesn’t have a bonus action,” My’thias said.

Everybody was like, um.

“She used her whole–”

Dreadnought popped one fearsome eyebrow. My’thias went sort of pale around the edges of his scales and corrected herself.

“She used all her strength to escape from you. She can’t–it doesn’t seem NARRATIVELY PLAUSIBLE–” and here Captain Dreadnaught nodded like you may proceed, “That she could do both things at once.”

The dead pirate’s head lifted off the ground by a half-inch, with one eye cautiously open. The other two lackeys exchanged a look.

Cosette knew who she was attacking the next chance she got.

Sheepishly, Shiver withdrew herself from the chest of the pirate with a noise like schlorp, shook off the black blood like a wet dog, and floated back to Cosette’s hand. The rent flesh and shattered bone at the center of the no-longer-dead pirate’s chest knit themselves neatly back together and he scrambled to his feet. Cosette caught Dreadnought’s black and wild eyes and mouthed sorry.

“Nothing to apologize for,” the emerald-colored bird squawked from the perch.

“Happens all the time,” flapped an ancient open caster’s tome with dry pages.

“It’s called a learning curve!!!” Three pewter goblets with lids of horn chorused from the captain’s shelves.

“ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE!” My’thias snarled. Smoke poured from his nostrils and tongues of flame flickered along the edge of his snout. “GIVE US THE CODEX OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!”

Dreadnought laughed. “You know, our galley’s amateur theatrical society is looking for someone to play Faithful Madeline in MY WANDR’ING TIEFLING’S HEART. If you’re auditioning.”

“Oi’m playin’ Sweet William,” offered the pirate with razors for teeth.

More smoke–dark and sulfurous–leaked into the room. “I GROW WEARY OF YOUR GAMES!” My’thias’s snarl grew to a full-throated roar. His scales began to glow white-gold. “I CAST–”

“Do not even THINK ABOUT IT–” Luthandriel shouted at the same time that Dumas groaned, “Are you fucking kidding me dude–!!” but all this was drowned out by My’thias’s screech of, “FIREBALL!!!!!”

In the split-second before the explosion, Cosette saw the faintest glimmer of a smirk pass over Dreadnought’s face. He made a complicated little sigil with his fingers. She braced for her own incineration, but instead there was an enormous shattering of glass and a feeling like whiplash as suddenly she was jerked towards the bay window at the end of the quarters, which was no longer a bay window at all but a massive, gaping hole in the ship’s side. There was a horrible roaring, whooshing noise, loud enough to deafen all other sounds. Then a terrible pounding in her ears as she desperately clung to a chair which luckily seemed to be bolted to the floor. The air was freezing and wild, yanking her without mercy towards the yawning chasm of clouds. She tried to breathe but could not–the air was sucked from her lungs by the change in pressure. Her yards of lilac hair were ripped from their extremely adorable braided buns festooned with ribbons and charms, and now whipped painfully behind her as she clung with a weakening grip to the armrest. She turned towards Dreadnought, silently pleading, her lips were turning blue–!!

And suddenly she fell to the floor. It was still. It was warm. Strong hands, calloused hands, drew her up gently from the ground. “Steady there, little one,” Dreadnought murmured. “Take your time. Find your breath.” She looked up into his eyes and felt her heart shimmer. He had a scar running from his right eyelid to his Cupid’s bow. Oh wow. Like. Haha! WOW! He held her aloft as she breathed for a moment.

Then she looked down. Her tits were completely out.

The captain shrugged. “Call it my savior’s fee.” The beautiful bird had somehow found sanctuary too. It was perched on his shoulder. “SAVIOR’S FEE, SQUAWK!” it echoed. It did not sound very much like a bird at all, actually.

WHATEVER. She looked over her shoulder and saw there was a thick veil of golden mist sealing her, the captain, and the rest of the ship from the charred ruin which was once his quarters. There was no sign of Dumas–he must have been instantly sucked into the sky. Poor dear Dumas! He never was very strong. Luthandriel was holding on with what little constitution he had left to another bolted-down chair, as My’thias twisted his claws into the splintering wood for grip. “THIS IS PUNITIVE!” he screamed, but it was muffled as if shouted through a thick sweater. “YOU ARE RAILROADING–”

A ballast beam ripped from the side of the ship and hit him in the face.

“But Captain Dreadnought, what of all your fine treasures?” Cosette trembled as the beast advanced hungrily upon her.

“IF YOU SAY SHE’S ALL THE TREASURE YOU NEED I’LL–”

BONK. Another beam.

“You heard the dragonguy thing,” Dreadnought pushed a lavender curl behind one of her lovely, slender, pointed ears which had two diamond earrings and a couple really sweet silver hoops pierced through it too! “The time has come for me to claim my bounty.” When he kissed her he tasted like caramel rum. (This part was private too but when he pressed her body to his her nipples rubbed against the rough flax of his unlaced shirt and it was like ooooooh it was so NICE!!!!!)

Just before My’thias lost his hold entirely and vanished into the void, Captain Dreadnought broke away from Cosette’s warm and tender (aw!) embrace. “By the way, lads,” he mentioned. “The bird was the codex.”

“AWK! I contain the key to all mythologies!” the bird said. “Ok, that’s pretty cool–” Luthandriel tried to add but was lost to the sky. “I HATE STEAMPUNK, I HATE IT SO MUCH!!!” My’thias screamed, but then he was lost to the sky too.

“Now, little one,” the captain whispered in Cosette’s ear. “Have you ever heard of an acrobatics check?”

“Oh my GOD–I mean TYR–” Cosette tried to roll her eyes but then he was kissing her once again so she had to check if she got a bonus on splits or anything like that.

It turns out she did and everybody except them got mad about it!!!

Chapter 4

Cassara

The tavern was bustling, a hive of activity as patrons came and went, their laughter and shouts blending into a cacophony of noise. A large table of orcs in the corner grew louder with each drink, their raucous laughter and booming voices dominating the room. The sun shone bright today, its rays filtering through the windows and casting warm patches of light on the wooden floor. Sweat collected at my brow, and the only relief came when the door opened, allowing a brief, cool breeze to waft in and provide momentary respite. I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand, grateful for the bandana that kept my hair off my face. Over the past few weeks, I had learned to favor pants over skirts for their practicality. My attire was a blend of practicality and understated elegance, reflecting both my elven heritage and my current circumstances. I favored garments that allowed me to move freely and withstand the rigors of working at the tavern, yet these clothes also subtly accentuated my natural beauty and grace.

My pants were made of supple, dark brown leather that hugged my curves while providing protection and flexibility. The leather was well-worn, softening over time but still retaining its durability. These pants were reinforced at the knees and hips, places most prone to wear and tear, showcasing thoughtful craftsmanship. Small, intricately embroidered patterns ran along the seams, adding a touch of elven artistry to the otherwise utilitarian garment. My shirt was a simple yet elegant white blouse made of fine linen. The fabric was lightweight and breathable, perfect for long, hot days in the bustling tavern. The blouse had billowing sleeves that cinched at the wrists with delicate, lace-trimmed cuffs. The neckline was modest, yet it featured a subtle, scalloped edge that added a hint of femininity. When I moved, the blouse flowed around me, hinting at the fluid grace with which I carried myself.

Over the blouse, I wore a corset top made of dark green brocade fabric. The corset was intricately designed, with patterns of leaves and vines woven into the material. The corset laced up the front with a series of delicate, silver eyelets, each thread carefully tied to ensure a snug fit that accentuated my waist and provided support. The boning in the corset was flexible yet firm, allowing me to maintain my posture while working long hours without discomfort. I often accessorized with a few select pieces that held personal significance. Around my neck, I wore a thin silver chain with a small pendant shaped like a leaf, a gift from my mother that I never took off. My fingers were adorned with simple silver rings, each one engraved with tiny runes of protection and healing, their magic subtle but ever-present.

My practical side showed in the sturdy boots I wore, made of the same dark brown leather as my pants. These boots were well-crafted, with reinforced soles and ankle support that allowed me to move swiftly and confidently across the tavern's creaky wooden floors. The boots reached just below my knees, laced up the front, and were adorned with small, silver buckles that added a touch of elegance to their rugged design. To keep my long, thick dark brown hair out of my face while I worked, I often tied it back with a crème-colored bandana. The bandana was made of soft, lightweight fabric, and I had a few in different shades to match my outfits. When I wasn't working, I would let my hair down, the dark waves cascading over my shoulders and down my back, shimmering with a faint green luminescence in the right light.

I had started working the counter and tables on my days off. Each coin earned brought me a step closer to moving on, to finding a new place where I could start fresh. As I moved between tables, balancing trays of drinks and plates of food, I felt a sense of purpose, even if it was just for a fleeting moment. The tavern’s interior was a mix of warm wood and rough stone, the walls adorned with faded tapestries and old hunting trophies. The air was thick with the scent of ale, roasted meat, and the earthy aroma of the orcs' sweat. The floorboards creaked under the weight of heavy boots, and the low hum of conversation was punctuated by the occasional cheer or bellow.

At the bar, Caty worked her magic, her fingers flying as she poured drinks and charmed the customers with her infectious smile. Her red hair was a vibrant flame in the dim light, and her laughter was a constant, cheerful background noise. I admired her ability to remain upbeat and engaging, even when the tavern was at its busiest.

As I served a group of dwarves seated near the fireplace, I couldn't help but steal glances at the door. Every time it opened, I hoped for a breeze to cool my flushed skin, but I also found myself scanning the faces of the newcomers. A habit formed from both curiosity and caution, ever since that night with Astarion. The orcs' table erupted in another wave of laughter, and I turned to see one of them pounding the table with a fist, causing mugs to jump and slosh their contents. I hurried over, deftly weaving through the crowd, and set down a fresh pitcher of ale. One of the orcs, a towering brute with a scar running down his cheek, grinned at me.

"More ale! You keep us happy, girl," he bellowed, his voice like rolling thunder.

I nodded, offering a polite smile. "Of course. Enjoy your drinks."

As I turned away, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a polished shield hanging on the wall. My face was flushed, not just from the heat but from the constant exertion. Despite the sweat and the noise, there was a determination in my eyes. I was working toward something, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Moving toward the next table, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. The tavern was just a stepping stone, a place to gather strength and resources for whatever lay ahead.I refused to let anything get in my way—not my aching feet, the sweltering heat, or a certain unnaturally pale elf.

I hadn’t seen him in weeks, but I kept catching glimpses of his silver hair or piercing eyes in the crowd. Each time, a shiver ran down my spine. Something about him made my hair stand on end, and the way he looked at me—as if I were a meal—made me feel extremely conflicted. From the moment he approached our table, I knew he was used to getting what he wanted. When I turned him down, it only further proved my point.

He was dangerous, and I knew scheming when I saw it. It was all I did growing up. Underneath the fear he evoked in me, there was a certain type of heat or desire hidden. It was that feeling that kept him at the forefront of my mind, a secret yearning for him to come back, to approach me again. It had been a while since I found someone who could keep up with my banter. The look in his eyes while he observed me last time was borderline murderous, yet I couldn't deny the thrill it gave me.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts as I approached the next table. The constant motion, the clinking of mugs, the chatter of patrons—all of it was becoming familiar. Yet, despite the routine, my mind kept wandering back to him. His predatory gaze, the way his presence seemed to fill the room, even when he wasn't there.

I felt a mix of fear and excitement whenever I thought about him. He was a puzzle I wanted to solve, a danger I wanted to face. But I knew better than to let my guard down. The stakes were too high, and I couldn't afford to be reckless. My future depended on it.

I shrugged my shoulders as I picked up the dirty dishes from a newly empty table, the clatter of mugs and plates a familiar comfort amid the tavern's chaos. It’s not like he showed much interest in me anyway. I found myself glancing over at Caty, who was effortlessly working the bar. A large crowd had formed around her, captivated by her bright smile and quick hands as she mixed drinks with practiced ease. He was definitely more interested in her, and I couldn’t blame him. Caty’s personality was magnetic, drawing people in with her infectious laughter and boundless energy. But that only made me want to protect her more. The world was full of dangers we couldn’t see, and I had learned to be wary of anyone too smooth, too charming.

When Astarion had grabbed her to take her to the so-called “party” that night a few weeks back, panic surged within me. The memory was still vivid, a chilling reminder of how close we had come to losing her. The way he looked at her was different, predatory and cold. Something in me screamed that if she went with him, I would never see her again.

I gasped in surprise as familiar arms wrapped tightly around me from behind. A small laugh escaped my lips as I struggled to balance the tray of dirty dishes in my arms. “Woah, woah. Careful! If I break these, I’ll lose money!” I playfully frowned at my friend, my heart warming at the sound of her laughter.

Setting the tray down at the bar, I turned to see Caty grinning widely. She hopped up onto one of the stools, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “A couple of us are going out after this shift. You should come.”

I sighed heavily, shaking my head. “You know I can’t. I signed up for a double.” My voice was weary but firm. “I need this.”

Caty's expression fell, a hint of disappointment shadowing her features. She nodded reluctantly, understanding but not happy about it. “I know, I know. But you should take a break soon, or you’ll work yourself to death.”

I glanced around the bustling tavern, the noise of chatter and clinking glasses filling the air. The sun had finally set, and the evening crowd had settled in, making the place even more hectic. Sweat trickled down my forehead, and I wiped it away with the back of my hand, feeling the weight of exhaustion bearing down on me.

“I’ll be fine,” I assured her, trying to sound more confident than I felt. “Besides, we need the money if we want to move on from this place.”

Caty’s eyes softened, and she reached out, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. “I just worry about you, Cassara. You’ve been pushing yourself so hard.”

I forced a smile, appreciating her concern but knowing I couldn’t afford to slow down. “I promise I’ll be careful. Just a little while longer, okay?”

She sighed but didn’t press the issue further. “Alright. Just don’t forget to take care of yourself, too.”

As she jumped off the stool and headed back to the bar to help with the evening rush, I watched her go, a pang of guilt tugging at my heart. I wished I could join her, to let loose and have some fun, but the reality of our situation kept me grounded. With a deep breath, I picked up the tray of dishes and made my way to the kitchen, weaving through the throngs of patrons. The tavern was packed tonight, the energy high and the atmosphere almost festive. Yet, despite the lively environment, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that had settled over me. I caught myself glancing at the door, out a window, or just simply over my shoulder more often than usual.

“Cassara, you’ve got a table waiting!” one of the other servers called out, snapping me back to reality.

“On it!” I replied, setting the tray down and grabbing a fresh one.

After the evening rush had subsided, Caty left with our group of coworkers, their laughter and chatter filling the air as they departed. They mentioned something about a circus being in town, and I waved them off with a smile, not entirely sure what a circus was. I made a mental note to ask Caty about it later. The night dragged on, and as the closing hour approached, the tavern slowly emptied. I leaned against the bar, lost in thought. My nightly cleaning duties were done, and now it was just a matter of waiting to lock the doors. The tavern, usually bustling with noise and activity, felt eerily quiet. The flickering candlelight cast long shadows across the wooden floor, adding to the sense of solitude.

I didn’t notice someone slipping in as the last few patrons were leaving. Nor did I see him walk up to the bar and sit down. The sudden noise of someone clearing their throat startled me, making me jump back. “My, my, jumpy little pup, aren’t we?” His familiar voice and the smirk that pulled at his lips made my cheeks flush hot.

“I am neither of those things,” I managed to say, frowning. My heart raced, a mix of fear and something else—something I didn’t want to acknowledge—coursing through me.

Astarion leaned forward, his intense gaze never leaving mine. The candlelight played across his features, highlighting the sharp angles of his face and the cold, calculating glint in his eyes. “You’re working late tonight,” he observed, his voice silky smooth.

“Yes, I needed the extra money,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. “What do you want?”

His smirk widened. “Such hostility. I was merely hoping for a drink and some pleasant company.”

I didn’t believe him for a second. There was always an ulterior motive with Astarion. But I couldn’t afford to cause a scene or draw attention. “Fine. What will you have?” I asked, grabbing a clean mug.

“Surprise me,” he said, leaning back with an air of casual confidence.

I turned to the shelves, pulling down a bottle of our finest ale. My hands shook slightly as I poured the drink, my mind racing with thoughts of how to handle this situation. He was dangerous, and I knew I had to be careful. Placing the mug in front of him, I took a deep breath and tried to project an air of indifference.

“There. Enjoy,” I said curtly.

Astarion cut a striking figure as he lounged at the bar, his posture relaxed yet exuding an air of undeniable confidence. His angular features were accentuated by the flickering candlelight, casting shadows across his chiseled jawline and high cheekbones. His skin, pale as moonlight, seemed to glow softly in the dim tavern.

His silver hair fell in loose waves around his face, adding to the aura of otherworldly allure that surrounded him. His eyes, a piercing shade of violet, seemed to bore into mine with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. They held a hint of mischief, a dangerous glint that hinted at the depths of his unpredictable nature. Dressed in finely tailored clothing that hugged his lean frame, he looked every bit the aristocrat he claimed to be. The fabric of his shirt and trousers was of the highest quality, the deep crimson hue complementing the pale perfection of his skin. A silver pendant hung from his neck, catching the light as it swung gently with his movements.

But it was his presence, his undeniable charisma, that truly set him apart. There was something magnetic about him, something that drew people in despite the warning bells that rang in the back of their minds. It was a dangerous allure, one that promised pleasure and pain in equal measure.As he sat there, smirking at me with that infuriatingly confident grin, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. Astarion was a predator, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I had no idea of the danger that lurked beneath his charming facade.

Astarion took a sip, his eyes never leaving mine. “You know, Cassara, I’ve been thinking about our last encounter,” he said, his tone deceptively light.

“Oh?” I replied, trying to sound uninterested. “And what have you concluded?”

“That you’re quite a fascinating creature,” he said, leaning forward again. “So much fire and spirit. It’s rare to find someone who can resist my charm.”

“I’m not interested in your games, Astarion,” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. “So if that’s all, you can finish your drink and leave.”

He gave me a feigned sad look before breaking out into a devilish grin once more. With a swift movement, he was suddenly looming over me, his body pressed dangerously close. I could feel the heat radiating off him, sending shivers down my spine as his piercing gaze bore into mine. It was like staring into the eyes of a predator, and for a moment, I felt trapped, unable to tear myself away. Before I could react, his hand came up to brush a stray strand of hair from my face, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through me. I sucked in a sharp breath, my heart pounding in my chest as his fingers trailed lightly down my cheek. His scent, a heady mix of musk and danger, enveloped me, clouding my senses and leaving me dizzy with desire.

“Oh, but I think you are,” he purred, his voice dripping with dark amusement. He pressed closer, his body heat seeping into me, making it hard to think clearly. His hand came up to brush a strand of hair from my face, his touch light but possessive. “I have a feeling you’re more interested than you let on.”

I scoffed, trying to push him away, but he held me firmly in place, his gaze burning into mine with an intensity that made my knees weak. I could feel the tension crackling between us, thick with unspoken promises and forbidden desires. “Let me go,” I demanded, trying to sound strong, but my voice wavered, betraying the fear and confusion roiling inside me.

Astarion leaned in, his lips just inches from mine. “Why would I do that when we’re having so much fun?” he whispered, his breath hot against my skin. He inhaled deeply, his nose grazing the curve of my neck. “You smell intoxicating,” he murmured, his lips ghosting over my skin, sending a shiver down my spine.

I struggled to push him away, but his grip was firm, unyielding. “Stop it,” I spat, my anger and fear warring with an unwelcome thrill of excitement.

He chuckled softly, his fingers tracing a path down my arm. “Resistance is futile, darling. You can deny it all you want, but I can see the curiosity in your eyes, the way your body responds to my touch.” His hand slid down to my waist, pulling me even closer. “I can feel your heart racing. Tell me, is it fear... or something else?”

His words sent a flush of heat through me, and I hated myself for the way my body reacted to him. There was a magnetic pull between us, a dangerous allure that made it hard to think straight. But I couldn’t let him win, couldn’t let him see how much he affected me.

“I’m not like the others,” I said, my voice trembling but defiant. “I won’t be one of your conquests.”

Astarion’s eyes darkened, his smile turning wicked. “We’ll see about that,” he murmured. He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against mine in a teasing, almost taunting kiss. I could feel his desire, the raw hunger in his touch, and it terrified me.

I shivered at the feel of his breath against my skin, my pulse racing as his words sent a thrill through me. Despite my best efforts to deny it, there was something undeniably exhilarating about being so close to danger, about dancing on the edge of the unknown. But even as my body responded to his touch, a voice in the back of my mind screamed at me to run, to get as far away from him as possible. Astarion was a predator, a creature of darkness and deceit, and I knew that to give in to him would be to invite nothing but trouble.

With a sudden surge of strength, I shoved him away, my breathing ragged. “Get out,” I said, my voice stronger this time. “I don’t want you here.”

His smirk faltered, he looked almost impressed, a flicker of respect in his eyes but also darkness— danger. But then, as quickly as it had appeared, it was gone, replaced by that infuriatingly charming grin.

“Suit yourself,” he said, his tone laced with amusement. “But don’t be surprised when you find yourself craving the thrill of the chase.” With a final wink, he turned and sauntered back to his seat as if the entire past three minutes never happened. He chuckled softly, the sound sending a shiver down my spine. “I have a feeling our paths will cross again. You can’t resist the inevitable forever, little pup.”

I glared at him, refusing to be intimidated. “We’ll see about that.”

He finished his drink in one long gulp, setting the mug down with a satisfied sigh. “Until next time, Cassara,” he said, rising from his seat. As he walked towards the door, he paused and glanced back at me, his expression unreadable. “Take care. The night is full of dangers.”

With that, he was gone, leaving me alone in the empty tavern. The adrenaline from our encounter slowly ebbed away, leaving me feeling drained and exposed. I locked the doors with trembling hands and leaned against them, taking a moment to collect myself. Astarion’s presence always left me feeling unsettled, a mix of fear and something dangerously close to excitement. But I knew I couldn’t let him get to me. I couldn’t afford to. Taking a deep breath, I pushed away from the door and began to close up for the night. The tavern, once bustling with life and noise, now felt eerily silent. I methodically wiped down the tables, straightened the chairs, and swept the floor, trying to distract myself from the lingering tension. Every creak and shadow seemed amplified, making me jumpy and paranoid. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was still being watched, even after he had left.

As I finished my tasks and finally headed to my small room above the tavern, the unease stayed with me. I locked the door behind me and drew the curtains, trying to create a barrier between myself and the outside world. Yet, the sensation of being watched persisted, a prickling at the back of my neck that refused to go away. My instincts were hardly ever wrong, and they were screaming at me now.

I tried to ignore the feeling as I prepared for bed. I undressed slowly, letting my clothes fall to the floor, and made my way to the basin. The water was cool against my heated skin as I dipped the rag in and began to cleanse myself. My hair was pulled up in a messy bun, dark strands hanging in escaped tendrils around my face. I let the rag glide over my body, taking my time, trying to wash away the lingering tension. Despite my efforts, my mind kept drifting back to him. The way he had looked at me, the intensity in his eyes, the unsettling mix of threat and allure. As I ran the rag across my bare skin, my thoughts became more vivid, more intrusive. I could almost feel his hands on me instead, his touch igniting a fire within me that I couldn’t ignore.

I paid close attention to my nipples, my breath hitching as I imagined it was his fingers instead of the rag. The sensation sent a shiver down my spine, and I closed my eyes, allowing myself to get lost in the fantasy for a moment. The idea of him watching me, of those piercing eyes following my every movement, made my heart race. A moan escaped my lips, soft and needy, as I continued to cleanse myself with deliberate slowness. My body responded to the imagined touch, heat pooling low in my belly. I knew it was dangerous to let my mind wander down this path, but I couldn’t help it. The desire he awakened in me was as intoxicating as it was terrifying. Finally, I forced myself to stop, dropping the rag back into the basin and taking a deep, steadying breath. I couldn’t afford to lose control, not with someone like Astarion lurking around. I needed to stay vigilant, to protect myself from whatever game he was playing.

I climbed into bed, pulling the covers up to my chin and trying to will myself to sleep. But even as I lay there, the memory of his touch, his voice, his presence lingered, haunting me in the darkness. I knew this was far from over. The hunt had only just begun, and I was caught in the middle of it, whether I wanted to be or not.

As exhaustion finally pulled me under, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my life had just taken a dangerous turn. And deep down, a part of me wondered if I would ever be able to find my way back or if I even wanted to.

The lehenga, a traditional Indian ensemble, is a symbol of grace, elegance, and cultural heritage. It has been a staple in Indian wardrobes for centuries and continues to evolve with contemporary trends while retaining its timeless charm. In this article, we delve into the world of lehengas, exploring their history, styles, and the reasons behind their enduring popularity.

Glimpse into History The lehenga traces its roots back to ancient India, where it was worn by women of royalty and nobility. The garment consisted of a long, flared skirt, a fitted blouse (choli), and a dupatta (veil). Over time, the lehenga evolved, incorporating different fabrics, embellishments, and regional influences. Today, it remains a popular choice for weddings, festivals, and special occasions.

Diverse Styles and Designs One of the most captivating aspects of lehengas is their versatility in styles and designs. From traditional to contemporary, there's a lehenga to suit every taste and preference.

Traditional Lehengas These lehengas often feature intricate hand embroidery, zari work, and rich fabrics like silk and brocade. They are adorned with motifs inspired by nature, mythology, and cultural symbols.

Contemporary Lehengas Modern lehengas experiment with unconventional fabrics like georgette, chiffon, and net. They showcase innovative designs, fusion elements, and a playful use of colors.

Regional Variations Different regions of India have their own unique styles of lehengas. For instance, the Gharara lehenga from Lucknow is known for its wide-legged pants, while the Bandhani lehenga from Rajasthan features tie-dye patterns.

Allure of Lehengas

Several factors contribute to the enduring popularity of lehengas:

Cultural Significance Lehengas are deeply rooted in Indian culture and tradition. They are often associated with celebrations and auspicious occasions, making them a symbol of joy and festivity.

Versatility Lehengas can be styled in various ways, allowing wearers to express their individuality. They can be paired with different types of blouses, jewelry, and accessories to create unique looks.

Flattering Silhouette The flared skirt of a lehenga creates a flattering silhouette that suits various body types. It accentuates curves and adds a touch of grace to the wearer's movements.

Exquisite Craftsmanship Many lehengas are handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail. The intricate embroidery, embellishments, and artistry involved in their creation make them wearable works of art.

Lehengas in Modern Era In recent years, lehengas have become a global fashion statement. Designers are experimenting with new fabrics, cuts, and embellishments, giving the traditional garment a modern twist. Lehenga-inspired gowns, skirts, and tops have also emerged, catering to a wider audience.

Introduction to Saree Blouse Designs

As a fashion enthusiast, I've always been fascinated by the incredible diversity of saree latest blouse designs. From the intricate embroideries of traditional styles to the bold and modern interpretations, the saree blouse has become a canvas for creative expression. In this article, I'll take you on a journey to explore the latest trends in saree blouse designs, and share tips on how you can incorporate these stunning pieces into your wardrobe.

Importance of Staying Updated with New Trends

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, staying up-to-date with the latest trends is crucial. The saree blouse is no exception, as designers and artisans continuously push the boundaries of creativity, introducing new designs and silhouettes that can transform the entire look and feel of a saree. By understanding and embracing these trends, you can elevate your style, exude confidence, and stay ahead of the curve.

Traditional vs. Contemporary Blouse Designs

The saree blouse has a rich heritage, with traditional designs rooted in the intricate craftsmanship and cultural influences of various regions in India. These classic styles often feature intricate embroidery, delicate brocades, and intricate motifs that pay homage to the country's diverse textile traditions. However, the modern fashion landscape has also given rise to a new wave of contemporary blouse designs, which blend traditional elements with a fresh, innovative approach. This fusion has resulted in a captivating array of options that cater to a wide range of personal styles and preferences.

Latest Trends in Saree Blouse Designs

Oversized and Dramatic Sleeves: One of the standout trends in saree blouse designs is the embrace of oversized and dramatic sleeves. From voluminous puff sleeves to exaggerated bell-shaped silhouettes, these statement-making sleeves add a touch of grandeur and elegance to the overall saree ensemble.

Asymmetric Necklines: Designers have been experimenting with unconventional neckline designs, creating blouses with asymmetric, off-the-shoulder, or one-shoulder styles. These unique necklines add a modern and alluring twist to the traditional saree look.

Intricate Embroidery and Embellishments: The love for intricate embroidery and embellishments continues to thrive, with designers showcasing stunning blouse designs featuring detailed motifs, sequins, beads, and even 3D appliqués. These decorative elements elevate the overall saree look, adding a touch of opulence and luxury.

Vibrant Color Palettes: While pastels and muted tones have long been staples in the saree blouse world, the latest trends embrace bold, vibrant color palettes. From rich jewel tones to eye-catching neon shades, these vibrant blouse designs make a strong sartorial statement.

Crop Top Blouses: The emergence of crop top blouses has introduced a fresh and youthful take on the saree look. These cropped designs, often paired with high-waisted sarees, create a chic and modern silhouette that appeals to a younger demographic.

Embellishments and Embroideries in Blouse Designs

The art of embellishing and embroidering saree blouses has always been a hallmark of Indian textile traditions. From intricate zari work and delicate Chikankari to stunning Kundan and Gota Patti, these decorative techniques add depth, texture, and a sense of luxury to the blouse designs. Artisans and designers continue to push the boundaries, incorporating innovative embellishments that elevate the overall saree ensemble.

Neckline and Sleeve Options in Modern Blouse Designs

Beyond the traditional round or V-shaped necklines, contemporary saree blouse designs offer a diverse array of neckline options. Plunging necklines, boat necks, halter-style, and even backless designs have become increasingly popular, allowing wearers to experiment with their personal style. Similarly, the sleeve options have also expanded, with designers offering everything from cap sleeves and flutter sleeves to bell-shaped and bishop sleeves.

Tips for Choosing the Right Blouse Design for Your Body Type

When it comes to selecting the perfect saree blouse, it's essential to consider your body type and personal preferences. For those with broader shoulders, blouses with cap sleeves or halter-style necklines can create a flattering balance. Petite frames may benefit from blouses with clean lines and minimal embellishments, while curvier figures can accentuate their assets with blouses featuring strategic ruching or draping. Ultimately, the key is to choose a design that makes you feel confident and comfortable.

How to Style Your Saree Blouse for Different Occasions

The versatility of the saree blouse allows for seamless styling across a range of occasions. For formal events, opt for luxurious fabrics like silk or velvet, and pair them with intricate embroidery or metallic accents.

Embracing Tradition with Style: The Indian Wedding Saree

Introduction

Indian weddings are renowned for their grandeur, cultural richness, and colorful celebrations. Among the myriad elements that contribute to the splendor of these events, the wedding saree holds a place of utmost significance. A symbol of tradition, beauty, and elegance, the Indian wedding saree is more than just an attire; it is a reflection of heritage and an essential aspect of a bride's trousseau. In this comprehensive blog, we delve into the allure of the Indian wedding saree, exploring its history, types, significance, and modern trends.

A Historical Overview

The saree is one of the oldest forms of clothing in the world, with references dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization, around 28001800 BCE. Traditionally, sarees were made from cotton and silk, two staples of Indian textiles, and were often adorned with intricate handwoven patterns. Over the centuries, sarees have evolved in terms of fabric, design, and style, but their essence as a symbol of Indian culture has remained intact.

Types of Indian Wedding Sarees

1. Banarasi Saree

Originating from Varanasi (Banaras), Banarasi sarees are famous for their rich fabric, elaborate brocade designs, and opulent embroidery in gold and silver. These sarees are often considered a musthave for North Indian brides.

2. Kanjivaram Saree

Hailing from Tamil Nadu, Kanjivaram sarees are known for their vibrant colors, durability, and templeinspired designs. Made from pure mulberry silk, they feature intricate patterns and motifs, making them a popular choice for South Indian weddings.

3. Paithani Saree

From Maharashtra, Paithani sarees are characterized by their peacock and parrot motifs and the use of pure silk and zari. The pallu (the end part of the saree) is often the highlight, showcasing intricate patterns and designs.

4. Bandhani Saree

Popular in Gujarat and Rajasthan, Bandhani sarees are made using a tiedye technique that results in unique patterns. These sarees are colorful and lightweight, perfect for prewedding functions.

5. Patola Saree

Another gem from Gujarat, Patola sarees are doubleikat woven, known for their geometric patterns and vibrant colors. They are laborintensive and considered highly luxurious.

Significance of the Wedding Saree

The wedding saree is not just an outfit but a symbol of tradition and auspiciousness. It represents the cultural heritage of the bride and her family. Each saree type has its own significance and is chosen based on regional customs, family traditions, and personal preferences. For instance, a red saree is often preferred as it symbolizes prosperity, fertility, and marital bliss.

The Making of a Wedding Saree

Crafting a wedding saree is a meticulous process that involves several steps:

1. Design Conceptualization: Designers create patterns and motifs, often drawing inspiration from traditional art forms, nature, and mythology.

2. Yarn Selection: Highquality silk or cotton yarns are chosen, depending on the saree type.

3. Weaving: Artisans use handlooms or power looms to weave the saree, incorporating intricate designs and patterns.

4. Embroidery and Embellishment: Once woven, the saree is embellished with zari, sequins, beads, and other decorative elements.

5. Finishing Touches: The saree undergoes final touches, including hemming, polishing, and quality checks.

Modern Trends in Wedding Sarees

While traditional wedding sarees remain timeless, modern brides are experimenting with new styles and trends:

1. Fusion Styles

Brides are combining traditional sarees with contemporary blouses, belts, and accessories to create a fusion look that blends the old with the new.

2. Pastel Shades

Pastelcolored sarees are gaining popularity for their understated elegance and modern appeal. Colors like blush pink, mint green, and lavender are trending.

3. Sustainable Fabrics

Ecoconscious brides are opting for sarees made from organic and sustainable fabrics, supporting ethical fashion practices.

4. Customization

Personalized sarees with custom designs, embroidery, and initials are becoming a trend, allowing brides to add a personal touch to their wedding attire.

How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Saree

Selecting the ideal wedding saree involves considering several factors:

1. Body Type: Choose a saree that complements your body shape. Heavier fabrics like silk suit tall and slim brides, while lighter fabrics like chiffon and georgette are ideal for petite brides.

2. Color: Select a color that enhances your skin tone and matches the wedding theme. Traditional reds and golds are always in vogue, but don't shy away from experimenting with other colors.

3. Budget: Set a budget and stick to it. Wedding sarees come in a wide price range, so it’s essential to balance quality and cost.

4. Occasion: Different sarees for different functions – opt for lighter sarees for prewedding ceremonies and the most elaborate one for the wedding day.

Caring for Your Wedding Saree

To ensure that your wedding saree remains a cherished heirloom, proper care is essential:

1. Storage: Store your saree in a cool, dry place, wrapped in a muslin cloth to prevent any damage to the fabric and embroidery.

2. Cleaning: Follow the cleaning instructions carefully. For silk sarees, dry cleaning is recommended.

3. Handling: Handle the saree with clean hands and avoid wearing heavy jewelry that might snag the fabric.

Conclusion

The Indian wedding saree is a timeless piece that embodies the beauty, culture, and traditions of India. Whether it's the rich Banarasi, the vibrant Kanjivaram, or the intricate Patola, each saree tells a unique story of craftsmanship and heritage. As brides continue to honor these traditions while embracing modern trends, the wedding saree remains an integral and cherished part of Indian weddings, symbolizing the eternal beauty and grace of the Indian bride.

Embracing Tradition and Elegance: The Timeless Beauty of Bridal Lehengas

The bridal lehenga holds a special place in the heart of every bride-to-be, embodying tradition, culture, and timeless elegance. With its intricate craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and opulent fabrics, the bridal lehenga is more than just a garment—it's a symbol of love, celebration, and the beginning of a new chapter.

Originating from the rich heritage of India, the bridal lehenga has evolved over centuries, reflecting the diverse customs and traditions of different regions. From the regal silk lehengas of North India to the vibrant and embellished lehengas of South India, each style tells a unique story and celebrates the beauty of Indian craftsmanship.

One of the most striking features of the bridal lehenga is its exquisite embroidery and embellishments. Handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations, the intricate patterns and motifs adorning the lehenga tell a tale of dedication and craftsmanship. From intricate zardozi and gota patti work to delicate threadwork and sequin embellishments, every stitch is a work of art, adding depth and dimension to the garment.

Moreover, the bridal lehenga is renowned for its luxurious fabrics, which are carefully chosen to enhance both the look and feel of the ensemble. From sumptuous silks and rich velvets to lightweight chiffons and georgettes, the choice of fabric plays a crucial role in defining the overall aesthetic of the lehenga. Additionally, the use of traditional textiles such as Banarasi silk, Kanjivaram silk, and Benarasi brocade adds a touch of heritage and authenticity to the bridal ensemble.

In terms of silhouette, the bridal lehenga offers endless possibilities, catering to the individual preferences and body types of brides. Whether opting for a classic A-line silhouette, a voluminous ballgown style, or a sleek mermaid cut, brides can choose a silhouette that flatters their figure and complements their personal style. Furthermore, the versatility of the bridal lehenga allows brides to mix and match different blouse styles, dupatta drapes, and accessories to create a customized look that reflects their unique personality.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the bridal lehenga holds deep cultural significance, serving as a symbol of tradition, auspiciousness, and prosperity. It is often adorned with symbols of good luck and blessings, such as intricate motifs of peacocks, elephants, and floral patterns, which are believed to bring happiness and prosperity to the newlyweds. Additionally, the color of the bridal lehenga holds special significance, with red being the traditional choice symbolizing love, passion, and fertility, although modern brides often opt for a wider range of colors to suit their personal preferences.

In conclusion, the designer bridal lehenga is more than just a garment—it's a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. With its intricate embroidery, luxurious fabrics, and deep cultural significance, the bridal lehenga captures the essence of Indian weddings and serves as a symbol of love, joy, and new beginnings. Whether adorned with traditional motifs or contemporary embellishments, the bridal lehenga continues to reign supreme as the epitome of bridal couture, embracing the beauty of tradition while embracing the spirit of modernity.

Stella McCartney SS24

Nicole Phelps's review for Vogue:

Stella McCartney set up her show at the Marché Saxe-Breteuil. On Thursdays and Saturdays it’s a popular open-air market, with vendors selling fresh produce, fish, cheese, bread, and flowers. Today there were representatives from companies pioneering new fabric technologies like NFW Mirum, which makes plant-based leather, and Keel Labs, which produces seaweed-based fibers; stashes of vintage Stella McCartney clothes and stacks of old records; and a merch stall dedicated to Wings, her mum and dad’s band. The market opened up to the public after the show, and all the money raised from sales will go to charities aligned with McCartney’s anti–animal cruelty, responsible-design philosophies.

The Wings booth was the key to the collection, which was an exploration of her parents Paul and Linda McCartney’s complementary style. A Google dive reveals that the much-photographed couple often dressed alike, whether they were in ’70s pantsuits on their bikes, in matching satin baseball jackets in the back of a limo, or in trenches as they disembarked from a plane with a youthful Stella (or maybe her sister Mary) in their arms.

From her father (whose fab wardrobe is one of the many things that made Peter Jackson’s Beatles documentary such fun to watch) came the tuxedo shirts and cummerbunds and a terrific look that combined a willowy vest and full trousers with a white blouse trailing long poet sleeves. Her late mother was the horseback-riding, vegetarian-cookbook-author free spirit and a photographer and musician besides. The mirror-embellished dresses crocheted from Keel Labs’s seaweed-based yarn Kelsun and worn by both genders tapped into her rebellious streak. Elsewhere, the cape-like backs of tops and dresses made with taffeta from Nona Source, the LVMH-backed deadstock platform, seemed to have been designed to evoke wings, while the brocade short-shorts looked like stage-ready tour costumes.

McCartney’s press notes stated that 95% of the materials in the collection are “conscious materials.” There’s a growing consensus that sustainability no longer needs to be part of the conversation, that it’s a given. That couldn’t be further from reality. McCartney should keep drumming on about it until she’s not the only luxury designer who can stake a claim to stats like hers.

Next up from Ruthless! the musical is my #costume design for Judy Denmark, homemaker and mother, who succumbs to the siren song of fame and fortune.

Act 1, set in the late 50s, consists of a cotton #skirt made from a tropical flamingo print that matches the upholstery of the stage set; cotton #apron dyed lemon yellow to match the walls; and a hand-dyed teal #blouse with the same cotton print for the shawl collar.

Act 2, set in the mid 60s, is a #dress made from a gold lamé base with a beaded silk chiffon overlay. The hem has a wide border of gold paillettes interspersed with rows of gold beaded fringe. The dress is first worn under a #kimonorobe of gold silk charmeuse with gold lamé lining and cotton brocade border, which is removed onstage.

Ruthless! is showing at New Conservatory Theatre Center until January 7.

Bridal Lehenga Trends for 2023: Embrace the Elegance!

Get ready, brides-to-be, as the year 2023 promises a delightful journey for both designers and fashion enthusiasts alike! Brace yourself for a thrilling roller coaster ride in ethnic fashion, particularly when it comes to wedding wear. While bridal lehengas won't undergo a radical transformation, the adoration for unique elements such as quirky sleeves, ruffled hems, non-traditional tones, and vintage aesthetics hints at the rise of unconventional bridal looks in 2023.

Fabrics like organza, net, sequin work, and velvet textures, alongside design elements like mirror work, are set to make a significant comeback this year. On the other hand, the enduring love for pastel tones and matte textures will persist. Based on these prominent trends, we've curated a collection of 10 bridal lehenga looks to inspire the uber-chic and fashionable bride in 2023!

Vibrant Neutrals with a Pop of Green:

The Green Color bridal lehenga holds cultural significance, symbolizing prosperity and marital bliss in many traditions. Beyond its cultural importance, the color pairing is aesthetically pleasing, creating a vibrant and traditional look for the bride. The choice of red and green reflects not only style but also a nod to timeless traditions that enhance the overall significance of the wedding Lehenga.

More Pastels:

A pastel pink lehenga with sequin floral embroidery offers a bridal look that is both classic and unconventional, perfect for 2023.

Unconventional Elegance in Blue:

A Bridal stuns in a non-traditional blue lehenga with matte gold embellishments, showcasing the beauty of unconventional color choices for 2023 brides.

Regal Pastel Peach and Gold

Gold embellishments on a light pastel peach lehenga create a mesmerizing look that seamlessly combines tradition and trend.

Colorful Peach - Pink Embellishment

A light peach-pink lehenga featuring contrasting multi-color embellishments creates a vibrant and lively bridal look.

The Peacock Lehenga

The peacock motif and similar motifs inspired from nature will do the rounds in 2023. Along with that velvet, as a fabric, will make a huge comeback! This lehenga is reminiscent of Rajasthani folk culture and textile. The matte gold motifs of peacocks, flowers, the latticework design etc. are reminiscent of Rajput art and architecture. All this against the dark maroon velvet, looks ravishing.

The Mughal Princess:

This green-tinged gold bridal lehenga, adorned with sequin work, stone embellishments, and intricate minakari thread work featuring techniques such as dabka, tilla, nakshi, and cut-dana, appears as if it has been transported through time from the Mughal era. Emphasizing the trend of former styles and designs taking center stage in 2023, this bridal lehenga epitomizes a new level of perfection. Wearing such an outfit, you will undoubtedly exude the regal charm of a Mughal princess.

Rustic Dreams in Rust Orange

A rust orange Wedding lehenga exudes a period charm with traditional handwork like dabka, tilla, sequins, nakshi, and cut-dana.

Flared Pink Charm

A pale pink flared Wedding lehenga with bright gold Zari embodies Mughal fashion, transporting brides to a bygone era.

The Banarasi Lehenga:

A few years ago, Banarasi brocade dupattas were a major trend, claiming the top spot in ethnic bridal wear. However, this year, you can abandon the traditional dupatta and opt for a lehenga instead. Picture less intricate brocade work with larger motifs, creating ample space for the luxurious sheen of rich silks to shine through. Consider unconventional colors and ensure they are complemented by blouses and dupattas in neutral tones, as demonstrated by this bride.

By aligning with the prevailing trends of 2023, incorporating your personal preferences, and leveraging our expertise, we assure you a bridal lehenga that encapsulates the essence of your dream wedding attire.
