Parthip Thyagarajan, Founder of Wedding Sutra has also noticed the rise of black. andldquo;It found its way into most designer collections at Lakmandeacute; Fashion Week Winter Festive 2016, where designers usually showcase their bridal lines apart from the festive spreads. That's a sign of changing times. Black, that is usually considered too sombre for Indian weddings that are full of vibrance and color, is now another shade in the wide palette offered for brides and grooms.andrdquo;/p pandnbsp;/p pEven the modern independent brides of today are selecting unconventional colour palettes for their wedding trousseau. andldquo;Gone are the days when black was considered an unlucky colour to include in your trousseau. Brides nowadays prefer colours that are more reflective of their personal style,andrdquo; says Sonam Modi of SVA.

But as a bridal trend, black will take some time to catch up.andrdquo; He adds, andldquo;Even though many brides today wish to wear it, they canandrsquo;t as the colour is considered unfavorable. Hence they pick shades closer to black like a darker shade of blue or plain navy.andrdquo;/p pandnbsp;/p pWith the debate over whether to sport black or not on your D-day still active, Thyagarajan says, andldquo;I don't think the millennial read too much into what colours represent.
