CRIMSON SHADE

Chapter 11

Entangled in the Brown Abyss

They say he's morally grey

What can I say?

Grey's my favourite color.

- ( The song of the chapter is 'Morally Grey' by April Jai and Nation Haven.)

"Hi, you are Khushi, right? I am Lavanya, Lavanya Kashyap."

A beautiful girl with slanted jet-black eyes and sleek shiny hair greets her in the garden of the resort. She recognizes her as one of the girls sitting beside Junior Rathore earlier at lunch today. Lavanya's smile is as gorgeous as she is. The highly fashionable white saree that she's wearing compliments her entirely. There is an undeniable playfulness in her demeanour, the kind that makes it hard not to smile in her presence.

"Hi, yeah, I am Khushi."

"I absolutely love your lehenga."

"Thank you", Khushi replies with an awkward laugh.

"You know what they say about you is true."

When Khushi gives a confused look, Lavanya continues, "They say you're the most beautiful girl in the society....They are absolutely right."

Red creeps into her cheek as she offers Lavanya a small smile. "You are beautiful too."

"Oh, thank you," Lavanya responds in a gleeful voice. "Sorry to be overbearing, but I've heard so much about you that I feel like I already know you."

"I don't understand."

"Neil talks about you all the time."

"Neil? NK?"

The mention of her best friend leaves a bitter taste in her mouth. She has yet to deal with the betrayal she felt by him. It still stings, an unresolved wound festering beneath the surface, twisting inside her like a knife she has yet to pull out.

"Yeah, one and only, my honey bear."

"Lavanya, Tell her the story about how you and NK eloped to Vagus to get hitched." The other girl she saw earlier with Lavanya joins them. Her almond-shaped eyes glint with mirth as she teases Lavanya. The sequins in her orange lehenga sparkle in the evening light.

"Wait.....you and NK are married."

"Yeah, we are," Lavanya replies sheepishly.

"Not only that, they've been childhood sweetheart," The other girl chimes in. "Hi, I'm Payal Roy."

"Hi, Khushi Sen Gupta. Very nice to meet you, Payal," She says, smiling at Payal. "So, Lavanya, tell me..."

"Oh, we both were born and brought up in the US. We were together in everything... elementary school, middle school..High school. After high school graduation, we went to Vegas for some fun and got so drunk that we got hitched there. That's it...Happy now, Payal?" Lavanya huffs. "What fun do you get from making me repeat this story to every new person we meet?"

"Oh, come on, Lavanya, you know I adore you two. Can’t a girl live vicariously through you?" Payal teases sweetly, linking arms with Lavanya. "Hey, look! Pani puri ! Let’s go, Khushi, we’ll have some."

"Do you think it’s a good idea? What if someone sees us gossiping together?" Khushi asks, glancing around.

"Come on, it’s not like we’re discussing anything top-secret. The men in our family don’t share anything with us anyway." Payal says rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, like they’re a locked ancient chest, with the key long lost," Lavanya giggles. "You, at least, can go to Arnav’s room. I tried once, just to peek inside, and he practically glared me right out of there. The only female he tolerates is you. You can even make him do things he doesn’t want to do."

"Come on, Lavanya, don’t be jealous. You know how it is with Arnav."

'She can go to his room!! Who is she?! It's not like I care. Whatever.' Khushi mutters in her head. She looks back at Payal. She is stunning. Something unexplainable clenches in her chest. She brushes it away. 'Exactly. Who cares anyway."

"Speaking of him, where did he disappear to after lunch?" Lavanya asks as they made their way toward the pani puri vendors set up by the Oberois. It's the sangeet this evening. There is a concert supposed to happen. And the muhrat for the pheres have been set for midnight. Then tomorrow is the reception. Not only elites all over the country but also celebrities and movie stars are crowded around the sprawling complex.

"Akash said he went to receive his date," Payal replies, gesturing to the vendor to prepare pani puri for them as Khushi quietly listens to the conversation.

"Ohh...spicy..anyone we know." Lavanya wriggles her eyebrows at Payal.

"Helena Khan," Payal drawls out secretively.

"Ah, the leading lady of this year's biggest blockbuster. Totally his type," Lavanya says, rolling her eyes before mumbling under her breath, "Fuck 'em and leave 'em."

Payal slaps Lavanya's arm lightly. "You’d know his type well, wouldn’t you? You’ve known him your whole life."

"Payal.." Lavanya whines, rubbing her arm, "Be nice." Then she looks back at Khushi. "See you're confusing our friend here."

"Actually, NK is Arnav's cousin. NK's dad was Mr.Raizada’s—uh, I mean Arnav's father's younger brother. He lived in Chicago and worked for the 'Chicago Outfit.' You know, 'the Outfit,' right? That's where I'm from." Lavanya's voice drops conspiratorially.

Yeah, Khushi knows the Outfit. It's an organized crime group active in the US. She nods her head quietly, and Lavanya continues.

"So, Arnav's mom passed away when he was 14 and then he came to live with his uncle. That's when I met him. So yeah, I’ve known him since I was like, 6 or 7…and we spent pretty much every holiday together. He was super grumpy as a teenager. And it’s funny—I never once saw him date anyone or heard about him having a girlfriend." Lavanya glances around, checking if anyone might be eavesdropping. Lowering her voice, she whispers, "Then I got all the juicy details about his one-night stands from Aman. So that’s his type. One-night stands."

"Aman Mathur? His manager?" Khushi asks feeling slightly uncomfortable with the turn of conversation but equally intrigued.

"Yeah, they’re best friends. Have been since high school. So much so that Arnav brought him back here to India with him." Lavanya pauses, reflecting. "Actually, now that I think about it, he didn’t even have those one-night stands since he moved back. All he does is work. I don’t even remember the last time he brought a date anywhere."

The vendor interrupts their conversation, handing each of them a plate of pani puri. Khushi’s lips curve into a smile at the sight of the crispy, tangy delights. She picks one up, dipping the round morsel into the spicy tamarind water, her fingertips grazing the cool, wet surface as she raises it to her mouth. She parts her lips, feeling the shell break between her teeth, a burst of flavours exploding on her tongue as her eyes flutter shut for a brief second.

The tang, the spice, it all hits her senses at once. And then she feels it. It starts from the tips of her toes and ascends, spreading up her back, snaking around her neck, caressing the ends of her hair before settling in her chest making her heart pound, each beat echoing in her ears.

Dhak-dhak, dhak-dhak, dhak-dhak

The weight of a stare presses against her skin. Until now, she hasn't realised it's possible to feel a gaze without seeing the person. And yet, every inch of her recognizes that stare. She knows exactly who it belongs to.

She doesn't look his way.

She doesn't need to.

Without opening her eyes, she lets the moment stretch, savouring not just the food but the flame skimming the surface of her skin. She rolls the remaining bite on her tongue, letting her lips close around her fingers just slightly before she pulls them away.

And then she opens her eyes.

Deliberately, slowly.

Her lashes lift and the world around her shrinks. Everything else fades away, dissolving into a soft blur, narrowing her focus to the one individual she can't seem to ignore these days.

Him.

Her hazel orbs clash directly into the dark pool of madness. It's the darkest of all chocolate-brown.

A jolt of electricity shoots through her. She is caught like a prey under the gaze of a predator, but instead of fear, flame surges through her veins.

She doesn't look away.

It's not like she can.

She can't look away.

She's pinned right in that moment.

She swipes the tip of her tongue across her lips, clearing away the last traces of tamarind water glistening on them. They're burning, the spice still tingling. She bites down gently, trying to soothe the heat. Eyes still locked, she lifts another pani puri to her lips.

His jaw tightens.

Subtle but not subtle enough to escape her eyes.

She bites down on the sphere of flavors, letting the tang of the spice sear her tongue, but it's nothing compared to the burn in her chest as she watches the storm gather in his eyes.

It's raw and primal.

It's dark and dangerous.

It's thrilling.

She brushes the back of her hand against her lips, wiping away the spicy tamarind juice that escapes the corner of her mouth as the world around her clears a little bit. The corner of his lips lifts, just slightly, and then it is gone in an instant, so quick she almost believes she has imagined it. His presence is undeniable, even in a crowd. He stands tall in his impeccable attire, but that isn't what rattles her. It’s the woman at his side, draped over him like a piece of art—beautiful, poised, and clinging to him as if she belongs there.

But the sweet little angel can't take her eyes off the devil.

The sangeet concert rages on in the main hall, the vibrant music and cheers filling the air. But she slips away from the lively crowd, in search of some solitude. The sounds of laughter and music fade as she steps into the cool night, walking across the lawn. She follows the silver glow of the shimmering water reflected in the moonlight and ends up in a deserted poolside.

She takes a deep breath, inhaling the cool night air that mingled with the scent of blooming jasmine. The melodies of the sangeet echo in the distance, but here, in this secluded space, it's actually pretty quiet. She sits on the cool tiles, letting her legs hang over the pool's edge, dipping her feet into the cold water.

Her mind drifts to a time earlier this evening. She closes her eyes, trying to quell the flutter in her stomach that has yet to settle.

"Get a grip, Khushi," she murmurs to herself, shaking her head as if the motion can dispel the heat coursing through her.

She watches the stars twinkle above. There are tall, meticulously manicured hedges encircle the pool, decorated with strings of fairy lights. A soft breeze brushes against her skin, and she rather focuses on a different conversation.

"Khushi", Lavanya hesitated before she started, her voice softening, "Listen, I know you felt betrayed by him....But, you need to know that you are really important to him. He sees you as his best friend. If you two never meet again, I want to apologise on his behalf."

After a while, she continued. "He wasn’t spying on you, you know. The family didn’t need to keep tabs on you. His father died just after high school, and his mother didn’t want to be alone in the States. So we moved back here. NK just wanted to attend college but Mr.Rathore didn’t. He wanted NK to go back and join the Outfit in place of his father. But NK wasn’t ready to dive into that life....at least, not yet. So, Arnav made it seem like you needed to be watched, and he was the one chosen for the job... and now I’m rambling," Lavanya said, smiling awkwardly. "So, yeah, you get what I’m trying to say. He really is sorry. He didn’t mean to hurt you."

The sound of laughter interrupts her musing, and she turns her head to see Mr.Rathore and Sheetal Kapoor approaching the poolside, with Mr.Rathore already clad in a robe, likely wearing a swimsuit underneath.  Panic surges through her as she spots Mr.Raizada following closely behind them.

She looks around her. Desperate to avoid the confrontation, she turns on her heel, intending to slip away behind the hedges. However, in her haste, she misjudges the layout, only to find herself caught in a tangled maze of greenery. It's a twisted blind loop in the hedge design.

“Great,” she mutters under her breath. Glancing back, she half-expect them to spot her in this embarrassing predicament, but it seems she is completely hidden by the hedges. If she wants to leave, she’ll have to do it in front of them, and there’s no way in hell she’s going to do that. Apparently, she just has to wait here until they’re done.

Shit.

She leans against the hedge, the rough texture pressing into her back as she hopes for her early bail from this imprisonment. Through the gaps in the leaves, she can just make out the vague silhouettes of Sheetal Kapoor and Mr.Raizada sitting on opposite corners of a bench with their faces toward her. A mile between them.

"Are you sure you don't want to join me, Darling?" Mr.Rathore calls from the poolside.

"Yes, I think, I will just watch you from here, handsome."

Mr.Rathore slips into the water, effortlessly gliding through laps, while Sheetal watches him silently, a faint smile playing on her lips. Meanwhile, Mr.Raizada keeps scrolling through his phone, a champagne glass cradled in his other hand,

"What's wrong with you these days?" His deep, detached voice breaks the silence, asking the question nonchalantly, still to look up from the screen.

"Nothing," Sheetal huffs. A pause stretches between them. Then she whispers, almost as if testing the words, “I think I’ve fallen in love with him.”

"Huh",  he barks a laugh, then after a pause says, "..Really?" his tone is flat, almost disinterested.

"Yes," Sheetal replies, “Is it Stockholm?”

He doesn’t bother responding to her question. After a while she says, “What does it say about me that he’s treated me better than any man I’ve been with? And that he’s... a good lay?”

"I didn’t need to know that."

"Besides," Sheetal goes on, her voice softer now, almost reflective, "I thought I was pregnant."

"You thought?"

"False alarm. It scared the shit out of me." A sigh escapes her lips. "But it made me realize I don't want to be here anymore. If I get pregnant, I'd be tied to this world forever, tied to him forever. I don't want that."

"Initially, it was fun..." Sheetal continues, her eyes downcast. “...having a powerful man like him by my side, all that power at my fingertips... and to make it even better I got a double deal....." she pauses, chuckling as if she's sharing a secret. "But it doesn’t matter anymore. The money, the expensive gifts.......I just want peace and my baby boy... living a quiet life."

Khushi hears him exhale, a calculating look crosses over his face, illuminated by the mobile screen.

"Those are dangerous desires..... Give me a couple of months," his voice suddenly softer, almost negotiating.

"And then?"

“You pick a country. I’ll take care of the rest.”

"I can do that..." Sheetal agrees before her voice shifts, becoming inquisitive. "Now you tell me, what's going on with you these days?"

Without giving much heed to his non-remark, she adds, "I've never seen you this riled up before. My God, the threats you shot toward me that day. You didn't need to do that. I am in this willingly, with my eyes wide open..... You even threatened Aarav. You love my boy."

"Arnav Singh Raizada doesn't love anyone."

"Whatever you say, but my boy certainly does," the woman goes on, her voice softening with affection. "Every time I visit, he can't stop talking about how Mr.Raizada sent him the latest Xbox...Just last month, he was thrilled that you played basketball with him. I didn’t know you played basketball, Arnav."

His jaw tightens as a dark shadow falls over his features, but he remains silent, eyes glued to his phone.

"Oh, silly me," her lips curving into a playful smirk. "The golden boy Arnav, straight-A student, Harvard graduate—of course, he can play basketball as well."

"Careful, Sheetal, don’t push your luck," This whole time, he's not even looking anywhere other than his phone. It seems something really interesting happening on his screen. "Why don't you join, Mr.Rathore? He looks lonely."

"Will you watch if I do?" she replies, her tone teasing, almost flirting. Mr.Raizada doesn't even twitch. "Mind if I have your drink? You aren't going to drink it anyway. You never answer my question, why you don't drink?"

He wordlessly extends the drink toward her. "...And you aren't going to answer my question....again." she quips, taking the glass from him.

There's an indefinite pause fall over over then. Only the distance music and the shushing of water created by Mr.Rathore's swimming can be heard. Sheetal has gone back to watching Mr.Rathore as she silently sips the champagne.

"You know, I've always been curious about what type of women can rattle you. I think I might have found my answer today."  Sheetal let out a low chuckle, leaning in slightly. "By the way.....She is gor..ge..ous."

This time, Mr.Raizada looks up and fixes her with his infamous glare.

'What was the name of his date? Helena khan. Yeah, that's the name.' Khuhsi mutters to herself, remembering her name from a previous conversation.

"Seems like you don't wanna live anymore." His voice is dangerously low as he says that. But Sheetal just smiles at him broadly, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

"What?!..I'm just saying." She shrugs her shoulders. "Hey, tell me,...Were you scared when I said I thought I was pregnant?"

"Why? It's not like it's mine," he retorts, annoyance lacing his voice.

"You know, if I had been pregnant... and managed to convince Mr.Rathore to marry me, I would’ve been a mommy by now." She grins at him, her voice dripping with mirth while her eyes sparkle with hidden secrets.

Mr.Raizada narrows his eyes and says in a hard tone. "Mr.Rathore is done. It's time for you to go."

Sheetal waves dramatically at Mr.Raizada before rushing toward Mr.Rathore, throwing her arms around him in a playful hug. Their laughter echoes through the air as they retreat toward the main building, their voices fading into the distance.

"The things my high blood sugar made me do. Now I have to do exercise while I am attending a wedding. Go figure...." Mr.Rathore's booming laughter rings out one last time, leaving the poolside eerily quiet in its wake.

Khushi breathes a sigh of relief, thanking her stars that it's finally over. She steps forward, eager to escape, but the universe seems to have other plans. A sharp tug at her hair and waist stops her in her tracks. Glancing down, she realizes with horror that the fairy lights wrapped around the hedges have somehow tangled themselves into her hair and lehenga, making her look like a Christmas tree.

With a frustrated groan, she raises her arms, trying to untangle herself from the shimmering lights, only to discover a tall, dark figure standing in front of her, watching her silently with his arm crossed over her chest.

Author's Note:

Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Khushi really can't catch a break, right? I'd love to hear your thoughts on these scenes and what you think will happen next! Drop a comment and let me know!

Until next time! 💕

Dressing to Impress: Plus Size Outfits for Wedding Guests

Weddings are a beautiful celebration of love, family, and joy, and they offer the perfect opportunity to dress up and show off your personal style. However, finding the right outfit for the occasion can feel like a challenge, especially for plus-size individuals. The good news? With evolving fashion trends and the growing emphasis on inclusive design, there are countless plus size outfits for wedding guests that are stylish, comfortable, and flattering.

Whether you're attending a traditional ceremony, a chic modern celebration, or an outdoor garden wedding, this guide will help you explore the best options to make you feel confident and look radiant on the big day.

 Understanding the Dress Code

The first step to choosing the perfect wedding guest outfit is understanding the dress code. Wedding invitations often provide clues about the level of formality expected, such as:

Black Tie: Opt for floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses.

Semi-Formal or Cocktail: Choose knee-length dresses, jumpsuits, or flowy skirts paired with chic tops.

Casual: Embrace comfortable yet polished options like maxi dresses, sundresses, or tailored pants with blouses.

For plus-size wedding guests, this means focusing on styles and fabrics that flatter your body type while staying true to the dress code.

Styles That Work for Plus-Size Wedding Guests

1. Elegant Maxi Dresses

Maxi dresses are a timeless choice for wedding guests, offering both comfort and style. Their flowy silhouette creates a graceful look, making them perfect for semi-formal and casual weddings.

Look for empire waists or A-line cuts to highlight your curves.

Choose fabrics like chiffon, georgette, or jersey for a flattering drape.

Floral prints, pastel shades, and subtle embellishments work beautifully for daytime weddings, while darker tones with metallic accents shine at evening events.

2. Flattering Wrap Dresses

Wrap dresses are a go-to option for plus-size women, thanks to their adjustable fit and ability to accentuate the waist.

V-necklines elongate the neck and draw attention to the face.

Opt for dresses with flutter sleeves or three-quarter sleeves for added comfort and coverage.

Pair with statement jewelry and block heels for a polished look.

3. Chic Jumpsuits

For those who prefer something modern and unconventional, jumpsuits are an excellent alternative to dresses.

Wide-leg jumpsuits with a belted waist create a balanced silhouette.

Choose designs with interesting details like off-shoulder necklines, lace overlays, or sequins for a touch of glamour.

Jumpsuits in solid colors like navy, burgundy, or emerald are versatile and sophisticated.

4. Lehengas and Sarees

If you’re attending a traditional wedding, lehengas and sarees are classic choices. Plus-size women can rock these outfits by focusing on fabric, draping, and fit.

High-waisted lehengas paired with crop tops or long kurtas highlight the waist beautifully.

For sarees, opt for lightweight fabrics like chiffon, crepe, or georgette for an effortless drape.

Pre-stitched or pre-draped sarees are a convenient and stylish option for wedding guests.

5. Tailored Skirts and Tops

For casual or semi-formal weddings, consider a midi skirt paired with a stylish blouse.

A-line or pleated skirts create a flattering silhouette, while fitted tops or blouses with embellishments add a touch of elegance.

Choose bold prints or rich fabrics to make a statement without overshadowing the bridal party.

Colors and Fabrics to Consider

1. Colors

When choosing plus size outfits for wedding guests, consider the wedding theme and season:

Spring and Summer Weddings: Soft pastels, floral prints, and bright colors like coral or lavender.

Fall Weddings: Earthy tones such as mustard, olive green, burgundy, and burnt orange.

Winter Weddings: Jewel tones like emerald, navy, or deep red, paired with metallic accents.

Avoid wearing white (unless explicitly allowed by the couple) or anything too similar to the bridal party’s colors.

2. Fabrics

Comfort is key when selecting fabrics, especially for long ceremonies or receptions.

Lightweight and breathable materials like cotton, linen, and chiffon work well for warm-weather weddings.

For evening or formal events, go for luxurious fabrics like velvet, silk, or satin.

Accessorizing Your Outfit

The right accessories can elevate any outfit and complete your wedding guest look.

Jewelry: Statement necklaces, chandelier earrings, or stacked bangles can add sparkle without overwhelming your outfit.

Shoes: Choose footwear that’s both stylish and comfortable. Block heels, wedges, or embellished flats are great options.

Clutches and Bags: A small clutch or crossbody bag is perfect for carrying essentials like your phone, lipstick, and tissues.

Wraps and Jackets: For outdoor or winter weddings, add a stylish shawl, cape, or jacket to stay cozy.

Styling Tips for Confidence

1. Fit Is Everything

No matter what style you choose, ensure that your outfit fits well. Tailored garments not only look better but also make you feel more confident.

2. Highlight Your Best Features

Focus on cuts and designs that accentuate your favorite features. For example, V-necklines, cinched waists, and flowy skirts can create a stunning look for plus-size individuals.

3. Comfort Matters

Comfort is just as important as style, especially when attending long ceremonies. Choose outfits that allow you to move, dance, and enjoy the festivities without feeling restricted.

 Celebrate Your Style

Gone are the days when fashion options for plus-size wedding guests were limited. Today, there’s a world of beautiful and diverse styles to choose from, ensuring that everyone can feel confident and stylish while celebrating love.

The key to finding the perfect plus size outfits for wedding guests is to focus on what makes you feel amazing. Whether it’s a flowy maxi dress, a modern jumpsuit, or a traditional lehenga, the right outfit is one that reflects your personality and helps you shine throughout the event.

After all, weddings are about joy and togetherness, and your style should reflect that spirit. So embrace your curves, celebrate your individuality, and step into the celebration with confidence and flair!

How to Match Your Bridal Saree with Jewelry for a Stunning Look

Your bridal saree and jewelry are two of the most important elements of your wedding day look. Together, they create an ensemble that reflects your personal style, cultural traditions, and the grandeur of the occasion. Striking the perfect balance between your saree and jewelry is essential to achieve a harmonious and stunning appearance. Here’s a guide to help you seamlessly match your bridal saree with jewelry for your big day.

1. Consider the Saree’s Fabric and Embellishments

The fabric and embellishments of your bridal saree play a crucial role in determining the type of jewelry you should wear.

Heavy Silk Sarees (Banarasi, Kanjeevaram, etc.): These sarees often feature rich zari work and intricate patterns. Pair them with traditional gold or temple jewelry to complement their grandeur. Chunky necklaces, layered chains, and jhumkas (traditional earrings) work beautifully with such sarees.

Lightweight Fabrics (Georgette, Chiffon, etc.): If your saree is made of a lightweight material with subtle embellishments, opt for delicate jewelry. Diamond or pearl sets with minimal designs can add elegance without overwhelming the look.

Embellished Sarees (Zardozi, Sequins, etc.): For sarees with heavy embroidery or sequins, choose statement pieces like chokers or bold earrings. Keep other jewelry minimal to let the statement pieces and saree shine together.

2. Match the Color Palette

The color of your bridal saree should harmonize with your jewelry.

Red Sarees: Red is a classic bridal color and pairs well with gold jewelry for a traditional look. If you prefer a modern touch, diamond or Kundan jewelry can also enhance the richness of the red.

Pastel Shades: Soft pinks, peaches, and mints go beautifully with rose gold, diamond, or pearl jewelry. These colors create a romantic and contemporary bridal vibe.

Bold Colors (Green, Blue, Purple): These colors stand out when paired with contrasting or complementary jewelry. Emeralds and rubies can bring out the vibrancy, while antique gold jewelry adds a touch of tradition.

White or Off-White Sarees: White sarees, such as Kerala Kasavu sarees or Christian bridal sarees, look stunning with gold jewelry or diamonds for a clean and elegant appearance.

3. Coordinate with the Saree’s Border and Pallu

The border and pallu of a saree often have distinct designs or embellishments that can guide your jewelry choices.

If your saree has a heavy border with intricate patterns, opt for jewelry that mirrors those motifs. For example, if your saree features floral designs, look for floral-inspired jewelry pieces.

A heavily adorned pallu calls for statement necklaces or layered jewelry that enhances the overall richness. For a simple pallu, keep the jewelry understated to maintain balance.

4. Focus on Neckline and Jewelry Coordination

Your blouse’s neckline plays a critical role in selecting the right necklace.

High Neck or Collared Blouses: Pair these with long necklaces or skip the necklace altogether and focus on bold earrings or maang tikka.

Deep Neck or Off-Shoulder Blouses: These necklines are perfect for chokers, multi-layered necklaces, or collar necklaces that draw attention to the neck.

Boat Neck or Round Neck Blouses: Choose medium-length necklaces that sit just below the collarbone to maintain symmetry.

5. Choose Jewelry Based on Cultural Traditions

Your cultural background may influence your choice of saree and jewelry. Incorporating traditional jewelry styles can add sentimental value to your bridal look.

South Indian Brides: Temple jewelry with motifs of gods and goddesses pairs beautifully with Kanjeevaram sarees.

North Indian Brides: Polki or Kundan jewelry sets are a popular choice for lehengas and sarees alike, offering a regal appearance.

Bengali Brides: A red Banarasi saree paired with gold jewelry, including broad bangles and a traditional nath (nose ring), is a timeless combination.

6. Balance Statement Pieces with Subtle Accessories

If your bridal saree and jewelry are both heavily embellished, your overall look may become overwhelming. To achieve balance:

Choose one or two statement pieces, such as a choker or maang tikka, and keep the rest of the jewelry minimal.

For sarees with bold designs, consider skipping heavy bangles and instead opt for sleek, minimalistic bracelets.

Let your earrings and necklace complement each other without competing. For instance, if you wear a dramatic necklace, opt for smaller earrings.

7. Don’t Forget to Accessorize Thoughtfully

Your bridal jewelry isn’t limited to necklaces and earrings. Additional accessories can enhance your bridal look.

Maang Tikka: Perfect for framing your face and adding a traditional touch, a maang tikka should match the style of your necklace and earrings.

Nose Ring (Nath): This classic bridal accessory adds an air of elegance. Choose a design that matches your saree and other jewelry.

Bangles or Bracelets: Stack your bangles to match your saree’s colors or opt for a single statement bracelet for a modern twist.

Waist Belt (Kamarbandh): A kamarbandh accentuates your waist and works wonderfully with sarees that have detailed pleats.

8. Pay Attention to Your Hairstyle and Jewelry Placement

Your hairstyle can also influence how your jewelry is displayed.

Updos allow for dramatic earrings and maang tikkas to shine.

Open hairstyles can pair well with subtle necklaces and earrings, keeping the focus on your overall look rather than specific elements.

If you’re wearing a saree with a long pallu, ensure your jewelry doesn’t get hidden behind the drape.

9. Keep Comfort in Mind

While it’s important to look stunning, don’t sacrifice comfort. Ensure that your jewelry is not too heavy or restrictive, especially if you’ll be wearing it for long hours. Choose pieces that you can move and dance in comfortably while still looking radiant.

Conclusion

Matching your bridal saree with the perfect jewelry is an art that involves balancing tradition, style, and personal preferences. By considering your saree’s fabric, color, and embellishments, as well as choosing jewelry that aligns with your cultural roots and personal comfort, you can create a cohesive and unforgettable bridal look. Remember, your wedding day is about celebrating your unique story, and your attire should reflect the joy and elegance of this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Top Styling Tips for a Glamorous Durga Pooja & Navratri

ooking for how to style on festival occasions? Craftzone shares styling ideas for Durga Pooja and Navratri, with sarees, jewelry, and festive home decor

How to Style on Festival: Perfect Outfits for Durga Pooja and Navratri Celebrations

Festivals are a time for joy, celebration, and showcasing the best of ethnic wear. Durga Pooja and Navratri are two of the most vibrant festivals celebrated in India, bringing people together in traditional attire, beautiful jewelry, and accessories. Choosing the right festive outfit can elevate your style and make these moments unforgettable. Craftzone offers a diverse range of sarees, home décor, kids wear, women’s fashion, bags, and jewelry, perfect for crafting the ideal festive look. Whether you’re dancing the night away at a Navratri Garba or attending Durga Pooja with family, here’s your ultimate guide on how to style on festivals.

1. Choosing the Right Saree for Durga Pooja and Navratri Pushpa cotton saree with blouse

When it comes to festive dressing, sarees are a timeless choice that never goes out of style. The elegance, versatility, and cultural depth of a saree make it a fitting choice for both Durga Pooja and Navratri. With Craftzone’s exclusive saree collection, you can find the perfect drape that suits your style and the festive vibe.

A. Traditional Bengali Sarees for Durga Pooja

Durga Pooja, especially in West Bengal, is synonymous with classic red and white sarees. The bold red against the white or cream saree base is a traditional color scheme that symbolizes purity and festivity. Opt for sarees with intricate zari work or a heavy border to embrace the traditional look fully. Pairing this saree with gold jewelry completes the aesthetic, bringing out the grace and charm of the occasion.

B. Vibrant, Lightweight Sarees for Navratri

Navratri is a celebration of colors, energy, and music. Choosing sarees in vibrant colors like yellow, pink, green, and blue can amplify the lively spirit of the festival. Lightweight sarees in chiffon, georgette, or even silk blends are great for those planning to partake in Garba and Dandiya nights. Look for sarees with mirror work or sequins for added sparkle that captures the energy of Navratri.

2. Kids Wear: Festive Looks for the Little Ones

Festivals are a time for the whole family to dress up, including kids. Craftzone offers kids wear that brings comfort and style together, ensuring that your little ones look festive without compromising on ease.

A. Ethnic Lehenga Sets for Girls

For young girls, colorful lehenga sets are a popular choice during festivals like Navratri. Look for sets with a vibrant color palette and detailed embroidery or mirror work. A simple yet playful lehenga-choli outfit allows girls to twirl and dance while enjoying the festival.

B. Dhoti-Kurta for Boys

For boys, a dhoti-kurta set brings a traditional yet contemporary flair to their outfit. This outfit, especially in colors like orange, green, or blue, complements the joyful ambiance of the festivals. Dhoti pants with a short kurta offer the right balance between comfort and festivity, allowing them to join in the celebrations with ease.

3. Women’s Fashion: Styling Ideas Beyond the Saree

While sarees remain a popular choice, women today are exploring various styles to suit their personalities and comfort levels during festivals. Craftzone’s women’s fashion collection offers a wide range of options to diversify your look for Durga Pooja and Navratri.

A. The Versatile Anarkali Suit

Anarkali suits, with their flowing silhouette and rich fabric, are perfect for both Durga Pooja and Navratri. Choose an Anarkali with intricate embroidery or beadwork to give your outfit a festive touch. Anarkali suits in royal colors like maroon, navy, or emerald green make a striking statement. Pair them with heavy earrings and a potli bag for a complete festive look.

B. Modern Lehengas with a Twist

Lehengas have become a versatile choice for festivals, and they offer endless styling possibilities. For Navratri, opt for lehengas with colorful mirror work, paired with a stylish crop top or choli. For Durga Pooja, a more elegant lehenga with gold or silver thread work can be an eye-catching outfit. Add a dupatta draped in a unique style, such as over one shoulder, for a touch of grace.

4. Accessorizing: Jewelry and Bags to Enhance Your Festive Look

No festive outfit is complete without the right accessories. Craftzone’s collection of jewelry and bags can help elevate any festive attire.

A. Statement Jewelry for the Perfect Finishing Touch

For Durga Pooja, gold jewelry is traditionally favored. A beautiful gold necklace, along with matching bangles and earrings, creates a sophisticated look. Navratri, on the other hand, is a great time to experiment with oxidized jewelry, which has become trendy for Garba nights. Look for chunky necklaces, jhumkas, and bangles in oxidized silver to bring a bohemian vibe to your outfit.

B. Stylish Bags to Match Your Outfit

A clutch or potli bag adds the final touch to a festive outfit. For Durga Pooja, go for an elegant clutch in gold or silver to match the grandeur of the occasion. For Navratri, a colorful potli bag with mirror work or beads pairs beautifully with the bright hues of your attire and is perfect for carrying essentials while you dance.

5. Home Décor: Creating a Festive Atmosphere

Festivals are not just about dressing up; they’re also a time to decorate your home and create a festive atmosphere. Craftzone’s home décor range includes items that can bring warmth and joy to your living space during Durga Pooja and Navratri.

A. Rangolis and Decorative Torans for Entrance

A beautifully designed rangoli can make a grand impression at the entrance of your home. You can also add torans with beads and flowers above doorways to invite festive cheer into your home. Torans with red and yellow flowers are especially popular for Durga Pooja, as they represent auspiciousness.

B. Ethnic Cushions and Table Runners

During the festivals, adding ethnic cushions and table runners with traditional prints can brighten up your living room. Look for vibrant hues that complement your décor. Adding brass or silver lamps can also add a warm, welcoming glow to the space, making your home look inviting and festive.

6. Styling Tips for Men: Embrace Ethnic Elegance

Men’s fashion during festivals has also taken a stylish turn, with options that mix tradition with modernity.

A. Kurta-Pajama Sets with Nehru Jackets

For Durga Pooja, a simple kurta-pajama in neutral shades paired with a contrasting Nehru jacket can be both sophisticated and comfortable. The Nehru jacket adds an extra layer of style without being too heavy, making it suitable for the warmer October days of the festival.

B. Dhoti with Short Kurta for Navratri

For Navratri, men can experiment with a short kurta paired with a dhoti for a more traditional look. Earthy colors or bright hues work well, depending on the vibe you’re going for. Accessorize with a dupatta or scarf in contrasting colors, and you’re set for the Garba night.

7. Footwear for Festive Comfort and Style

The right footwear can bring your entire look together while ensuring comfort for long hours of celebration.

A. Mojaris and Kolhapuris for Durga Pooja

For Durga Pooja, traditional mojaris or Kolhapuri sandals add an ethnic touch to your outfit. These comfortable footwear options are perfect for navigating the busy streets during pandal hopping or spending hours at the puja.

B. Colorful Juttis for Navratri

For Navratri, juttis in bright colors with mirror work or embroidery pair beautifully with lehengas and sarees. Not only do they add to the ethnic vibe, but they’re also ideal for dancing.

Navratri: A Celebration of Tradition and Culture

Navratri, a vibrant festival celebrated across India, spans nine nights dedicated to the worship of the goddess Durga in her various forms. Each night symbolizes a different aspect of the goddess, and the festival culminates in the celebration of Vijayadashami or Dussehra, marking the victory of good over evil. The rich cultural tapestry of Navratri is woven with traditional music, dance, and, importantly, clothing that reflects the festival's essence.

The Significance of Navratri

Navratri honors the divine feminine energy, represented by Durga, who embodies strength, compassion, and resilience. Each day of the festival is associated with a specific form of the goddess, allowing devotees to engage in diverse rituals and celebrations. The nine days are not just a spiritual journey but also a time for community bonding, joy, and vibrant expressions of faith.

The Tradition of Clothing

One of the most striking aspects of Navratri is the traditional attire worn during the festivities. Each day is often associated with specific colors that symbolize various aspects of the goddess. Devotees dress in beautiful, culturally rich outfits that resonate with the festival’s spirit.

Shivangi Clothing: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity

Shivangi clothing plays a significant role in how people express their devotion during Navratri. The brand embodies the essence of traditional Indian wear, focusing on vibrant colors, intricate designs, and rich fabrics that are ideal for the festive season.

Traditional Garments: Women often wear lehengas, sarees, and chaniya cholis adorned with embroidery, mirror work, and vibrant patterns. Men typically wear kurtas paired with dhotis or pajamas, embracing the essence of Indian culture.

Colorful Attire: Each day of Navratri is associated with a specific color representing different forms of the goddess. For example:

Day 1: Yellow (Shailputri)

Day 2: Green (Brahmacharini)

Day 3: Grey (Chandraghanta)

Day 4: Orange (Kushmanda)

Day 5: White (Skandamata)

Day 6: Red (Katyayani)

Day 7: Blue (Kalratri)

Day 8: Pink (Mahalakshmi)

Day 9: Purple (Siddhidatri)

Embellishments: Traditional attire often features embellishments like sequins, beads, and zardozi work, which not only enhance the beauty of the clothing but also add to the celebratory vibe of the festival.

Comfort and Style: Shivangi clothing emphasizes comfort without compromising on style. The outfits are designed to allow ease of movement, especially during Garba and Dandiya dances, which are integral to the Navratri celebrations.

The Cultural Impact

Navratri is not just a religious observance; it’s a cultural phenomenon that promotes unity and harmony among diverse communities. The colorful clothing worn during the festival reflects the spirit of joy and the rich heritage of India. It fosters a sense of belonging, connecting individuals to their roots and to each other.

The stories and traditions associated with Navratri remind us of the importance of strength, love, and community. As people don their vibrant outfits, they not only honor the goddess but also celebrate their heritage and the timeless customs passed down through generations.

Conclusion

Glass Bangles: A Must-Have Accessory for Every Traditional Ensemble

Glass bangles have been an integral part of traditional attire in many cultures, particularly in South Asia. These vibrant, colorful accessories are not just decorative pieces; they hold significant cultural and social value. Often worn during festivals, weddings, and other auspicious occasions, glass bangles enhance the beauty of traditional wear and symbolize femininity, grace, and prosperity.

Historical Significance

The tradition of wearing glass bangles dates back centuries, with evidence of their use found in ancient civilizations. They have been crafted from various materials, but glass has remained a favorite due to its versatility and the ability to create intricate designs. Historically, glass bangles were made by skilled artisans who would heat and shape molten glass into beautiful forms, often embellished with intricate patterns and colors.

Cultural Importance

In many cultures, wearing glass bangles is considered auspicious. They are often associated with good fortune and are believed to bring prosperity to married women. In India, for example, brides wear glass bangles as part of their wedding attire, symbolizing their marital status and the blessings of a prosperous married life. Each color of bangle carries its own significance, with red symbolizing love and passion, green representing fertility, and white denoting purity.

Variety of Designs and Colors

One of the most appealing aspects of glass bangles is the wide variety of designs and colors available. From simple, elegant bangles to heavily embellished pieces adorned with sequins, stones, and intricate motifs, there is something for everyone. Artisans often create bangles in sets, allowing wearers to mix and match different colors and styles to complement their outfits.

Styling Glass Bangles with Traditional Attire

Glass bangles can be styled with a range of traditional wear, including sarees, lehengas, and salwar suits. Here are a few styling tips:

Sarees: When wearing a saree, opt for bangles that complement the color and design of the fabric. A combination of thin and thick bangles can add depth to your look.

Lehengas: Choose bold, statement bangles that stand out against your lehenga. Mixing different colors can create a vibrant, festive look.

Salwar Suits: For a more casual yet elegant look, pair delicate glass bangles with your salwar suit. A set of matching bangles can elevate your outfit without overwhelming it.

Care and Maintenance

To keep glass bangles looking their best, proper care is essential. Here are some tips:

Avoid Impact: Glass bangles can be fragile, so handle them with care to prevent breakage.

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the bangles regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can dull the shine.

Storage: Store bangles in a separate pouch or box to prevent them from scratching or tangling with other jewelry.

Trends and Innovations

In recent years, glass bangles have seen a resurgence in popularity, with contemporary designers experimenting with new styles and techniques. Innovations include using recycled glass, creating eco-friendly bangles, and incorporating modern design elements to appeal to younger generations.

Conclusion

Glass bangles remain a timeless accessory in traditional wear, embodying beauty, culture, and tradition. Their vibrant colors and intricate designs continue to captivate wearers, making them a must-have in every jewelry collection. Whether you're dressing for a festival, wedding, or a casual outing, glass bangles can enhance your traditional attire, adding a touch of elegance and charm.
