5. Shreya Kalra

Remember the times when the word influencer or blogger or vlogger was not very popular? Shreya Kalra can be called an influencer from that time who left her profession as a lawyer and moved to Amsterdam to pursue her passion that is fashion. She calls herself a “first-generation fashion blogger from India, serving a slice of fashion from Europe”, and she definitely is one. Her style is ideal for the sister or friend of the bride who likes to keep it minimal yet set a statement with her choice of outfits.

Shreya Kalra believes in re-using and mix-matching outfits from her closet as she believes that they do not get to wear a lot of heavy Indian wear there. Her style is a bit of Indo-western meets minimalism meets old-school vibe and we love it!

6. Payal Shah

Payal Shah is a known jewelry designer and owner of L’Dezen and Psylish. Her designs are so distinctive and unusual that it has made a statement worldwide with some big names like Mindy Kaling, Rihanna, and Demi Lovato. Payal’s jewelry collection is something that a lot of the new-age brides would love to own. L’Dezen is a luxurious jewelry brand, whereas Psylish is more of contemporary and minimal jewelry for the people who wanna wear a piece every day without taking it off.

Not only her work but even her own style, which one can get inspired by. What we love about Payal is owning her roots and understanding the culture and promoting Indian designers. She is a perfect example for the new generation who love traditional meets modern contemporary outfits. 

7. Shloka

Shloka aka The Silk Sneaker is a London-based desi girl who is from Mumbai and started her blog - The Silk Sneaker in 2015. She can be called the perfect role model for the brown girls who want to make big in the creative fields like blogging, fashion, lifestyle, etcetera. Shloka’s recent, small yet gala Indian wedding was nothing less than a fairytale. She chose to wear white for her Mehndi which is not very common in South Asian weddings, and a light pink Manish Malhotra for her wedding ceremony.

We are certain, Shloka’s choice of outfits will inspire many to-be brides to opt for things a bit unique and traditionally different. Another highlight of her wedding was, wearing the same outfit for her reception night as that of her wedding ceremony. She only changed her hairstyle and makeup a bit, and was ready to go!

8. Sonam Babani

Sonam Babani aka Fashioneiress is a known luxury Indian fashion influencer based in Mumbai. If there is one influencer who can pull off a luxury designer outfit and streetwear with equal elegance then it has to be Sonam Babani. She is known for her eclectic and ever-evolving style. Whether she is chilling in a crop top and tracks or a simple salwar kurta, she owns the looks like a chic personality. Her proposal in the Maldives was all over the internet and after that, her Mehendi and ring ceremony outfits and decor took the internet by storm.

Sonam chose a Dolce and Gabbana floral dress for her Mehendi ceremony and wore Sabyasachi for the flower shower ceremony. The most interesting part of her decor was the lemons and the reusable pots and installations. As she did not want marigold but wanted the yellow to be there, Sonam went for lemons, that were hand-picked from her lemon orchard.
