Ritiesh and Genelia Deshmukh dazzled on ramp for Neeta Lulla’s ethereal “BRIDAL GODDESS” Collection at IBFW

Turning a bride into a goddess is what Neeta Lulla aimed at during her presentation of “The Bridal Goddess” collection at the fifth Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week 2013 and the show was added with more glamour when bollywood’s cutest couple Ritesh and Genelia Deshmukh walked the ramp in her costume. Creating a spell binding impact on the audience, Neeta brought in large doses of vintage charm that was utterly captivating.

Rows of bronze paper origami birds swayed gently from the ceiling over the ramp, which was covered in a misty cloudy brown vision. Sitting at head ramp a young nubile male “angel” solefully played a melodious tune on the violin. From the audience five elegant “goddesses” floated gracefully on to the ramp in fluid net creations with delicately shimmering glitter.

Divided into sections, Neeta took the audience on a stunning display of western and ethnic creations that reflected the gentle charm and creativity of the designer. Putting a distinct emphasis on clumps of pretty roses for long white net skirts, lean tunics, tulle covers, gowns with sexy fish trails, Neeta gave the women in the audience a feel of beauty for their bridal wardrobe.

Satin drapes gave gowns an intriguing look, while slim long skirts, pre-stitched saris, gilets with appliqués and will-power pink sari blouse combos worked beautifully for the bridal festivities.

The sari section had long sleeved sharply cut jackets, lace edged beauties wound around the models, trench coats over belted lace saris and a ruffled blouse/sari/churidars trio.

An assortment of lehengas, cholis and dupattas; the flared skirts, tiny cholis, cutwork dupattas, bustiers, slim sheaths over churidars and an unconventional navy long sleeved jacket matched with an orange net lehenga revealed some strong style statements.

Bringing in the Indian Kanjeevarm sari weave for opulent lehengas, blouses and Anarkalis section, Neeta matched some with bustiers, while others were worn with pearl encrusted belts or net panelled capes over micro cholis.

Neeta’s embroidery techniques were varied as she brought in appliqués, 3D work, sequins, crystals, Indian traditional weaves on tulle saris and resham embellishments. Detailing played a major role with dazzle and glitter making a constant appearance on the garments.

Adding drama with an old world touch, the couture creations had an ethereal feel that will gladden the hearts of the 21st century bride.

The perfect show stoppers were Bollywood’s hit star Ritesh Deshmukh in an ink blue velvet sherwani and pants with matching embroidered kurta who strutted down the ramp with great style. The dashing star waited for his lady love, wife Genelia who entered from the audience in a luxurious brown Indian silk lehenga combined with a peplum blouse to rousing applause from the audience.

When a girl wants to float in like a goddess on her wedding day then Neeta Lulla’s extravagant bridal offering will ensure it in a very scintillating manner.
