With everyone tying the knot, it-s time to bring your A game for your best girls on their D-Day &ndash; just like Parineeti Chopra and Rhea Kapoor. Designer Anushree Reddy, who-s created a bunch of bridal outfits, and stylist Mandeep Kaur tell us how to nail the bridesmaid look.
Keep it simple
<ul>
<li>You can wear a red lehenga as long as there-s no zardozi work.</li>
<li>If you are hip-heavy, lehengas are your best bet. Cotton tops work best is you are chest heavy.</li>
<li>Play up the highlights of your body. If you have great collarbones, pick an off-shoulder line.</li>
</ul>

Dos and don-ts
<ul>
<li>Wear comfortable footwear like juttis or wedges.</li>
<li>Don-t go for an outfit that you will never be able to mix and match with other options.</li>
<li>Don-t show up in the same colour as the bride.</li>
<li>Don-t overdo the jewellery - get that one thing right. Stay away from overdressing as it looks wannabe-ish.</li>
<li>Opt for make-up that works for your face. For example, dark eyes doesn-t look good on everybody.</li>
<li>Saris can get a tad cumbersome when it comes to draping them, unless you opt for ruffle saris, which come pre-stitched. So, lehengas are preferred as they are comfortable to walk around in and stay in place. Opt for one that-s not very heavy.</li>
<li>Accessorising is equally important. Choose accessories on rent, so you don-t have to compromise on the whole look.</li>
<li>Don-t copy or try to be what you aren-t comfortable in.</li>
</ul>

Be the envy of the baraatis
<ul>
<li>Ruffle saris are doing really well at the moment. Even regular saris and well-styled blouses are quite in.</li>
<li>Bridesmaids also like simple lehengas with blingy blouses, which aren-t too over the top.</li>
<li>You can opt for a simple lehenga, with ruffles and bright colours with uneven cuts.</li>
<li>Western look is quite trendy for smaller ceremonies. For example, gowns are ideal for cocktail nights.</li>
<li>Go for simple accessories like a floral mangtika or one that says -ladkiwaale-. But again, don-t go over the top.</li>
</ul>

Mix it up
<ul>
<li>Layer it up. Check out capes, or draped saris with floral and flowy jackets for a boho and Indo-western look.</li>
<li>The western look is meant for evening ceremonies, which requires muted or deeper colours and monotones. For example, variants of ivory are quite popular among bridesmaids.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Long gowns with a little bit of beading is ideal for the reception ceremony. Pair it with one accessory.</li>
<li>Ruffle necklines, bell and peasant sleeves are also in vogue at the moment.</li>
</ul>
