Ramp wins from the recently-concluded India Bridal Fashion Week. Take a look!

While we saw some fashion fails at the recently concluded Bridal Fashion Week, the stylish affair wasn't without its share of fun, experimental designs on the ramp.

Here's a look at some of the best designs from the show.

Avza

Showstopper Chitrangada Singh lent her regal aura to the Avza line which was dominated by red and black colours and gold accents.

Her asymmetrical lehenga, woven bodice and multi-strand golden kamarbandh looked like the perfect attire for an adventurous bride-to-be.

Ashima and Leena

This refreshingly colourful Ashmia and Leena lehenga came as a welcome change from the monotonous red that Indian wedding attire is so strongly associated with.

Neeta Lulla

Neeta Lulla's bohemian spin on a bridal attire with this short velvet kurta and a fiery orange skirt is all kinds of amazing.

The two clashing colours complement each other quite well.

This designer duo had us at that lovely embroidered bodice and the hemline's silver detail.

This Meera and Muzaffar Ali creation was a sure winner with its sequins, golden borders and a splash of green in the choli.

That bodice is, by far, the most outstanding element we saw on the ramp.

A striking piece of work on its own, it was beautifully offset by the white tulle skirt.
