Move over reds and pinks, Pooja shows you how to be a stylish modern bride.

Hyderabad based Varun Chakkilam is known for his stunning lehengas and glitzy festive wear.

At the FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week, Varun presented Art Nouveau, his latest bridal collection.

With Pooja Hegde as his muse, we couldn't have asked for a better showstopper!

The spring-summer line was designed keeping in mind a woman who is sensuous and full of mystery. From spaghetti strap cholis to heavily embroidered skirts and flowy, ruffled, tiered capes and dupattas, Varun had many options for the modern bride.
