Top 21 Monochrome Lehengas For Your Wedding Ceremonies

Where brides are becoming more and more experimentative with their bridal outfits, with color variations, silhouettes, and fabrics, on the other side monochrome lehengas are also making a slow comeback. First, let us go through what Monochrome is, well, mono means single, and chrome means color; 'single color'. It means something in a single-shade or hue. When it comes to bridal outfits, most of the new-era brides try to go with a blend of shades, and somewhere the use of a single shade for a bridal outfit went out of choice. But when our desi girl, Priyanka Chopra Jonas wore an all-red Sabyasachi-designed outfit for her Indian wedding ceremony and looked ethereal, monochrome started making a comeback with a blast.

Very-Peri might be the Pantone color of this year, but as mostly seen, ivory is the color of the year for brides who are open to experiments. Almost every bride has included ivory in her bridal trousseau, be it for pre-wedding ceremonies or post-wedding ceremonies. Do not confuse this color with white as ivory is more of an off-white color.

Factors like if you are selecting silk as a fabric and blue as a color, then you need to figure out what shade of blue would be a perfect match for the silk fabric because believe it or not, with every fabric, shades of color change.
