Weddings are an integral part of Indian culture and Odette is there to make our big day rememberable . Most of us grow up dreaming about it. For something as momentous as a wedding looking good and feeling the best goes without saying. The best part of Indian weddings is the fact that we have a plethora of options on what to wear and which occasion to wear it on.

Choices also breed confusion about what suits, which colors and fabrics, designs everything. Odette’s newly launched wedding collection has a handpicked collection of bridal lehengas, sarees, kurtas, and Indo-western dresses to cover all the ceremonies that you are going to be a part of.
Lehenga is the attire of choice for most of the brides-to-be who opt for ethnicity and grandeur. Lehengas time back to the years of yore and make the prettiest of brides. While choosing a lehenga keep the body shape, skin tone, and the color of your wedding decoration in mind. While some colors like red, maroon, green, pink, and wine have traditionally been worn, others are dictated by the fashion season trends and change is what Odette has observed. Colors ruling this season are salmon, viva magenta, subdued gold, teal, lilac, taupe, and blush pink, while multicolored bridal lehengas have created their niche. Blush colors with big motifs in subdued gold lehengas are a genre worth exploring.
Sarees are yet another great choice- traditional yet sensual and wrapped in grace- this demure 5 yards can be traced back to the era of goddesses. The timeless attire has never stopped mesmerizing civilizations ever since. Bridal sarees are created on many fabrics like silk, velvet, georgette, crepe, organza, brocade, Pashmina, and recently blended materials. Heavily embroidered ones are a hit during the wedding season as are the woven ones. As per Odette , sarees are also gifted to the bride and the close family as a token of love and respect.
The vastness of Indian wedding attires spans as much as the vastness of Indian civilization. While some find their dream wedding attire in Lehengas and sarees, others see the sacrosanct in kurta sets. Bridal Kurtas can be worn with sharara, palazzo, churidar, salwars, etc. These heavily embroidered ones are fabricated on silk, velvet, georgette, satin, and other luxurious fabrics. Gold and silver are the chosen embroidery colors while others continue to lend the grandeur.
Bridal jewelry plays a pivotal role in accentuating the attire and completing the look. Jewelry Sets with maangteeka are thus in vogue. A regal jadau kundan set, luxe Polki set, graceful Meenakari set, or a culturally exquisite temple set, the choice always depends upon the look you desire. Odette has an enviable collection of bridal jewelry as well as bridal bags. Poltis in velvet, Batuwas in metal, or embellished clutches each has a way of enhancing the look. A bride needs different styles of bags and jewelry for different occasions. Our range of collections makes it a one-stop shop for your bridal shopping. Nowadays accessories are also a part of weddings. Along with anklets, bangles, and brooches wedding outfits are being paired with stylish capes and body chains too. Designed hairbands and clips are finding their way into wedding closets. And who said we do not like to experiment!
We know that attire is an amalgamation of colors and fabric, and role of designing cannot be undermined. At Odette, we like to put all together and come out with designs that have a class. Victorian undertones are as profound as subtly glamorous they are, and they form the basis of our designing escapades. Mamta Roy– Founder, Director Odette says “I was always fascinated by designs. My love for designs made me appreciate myriad styles from India and abroad. India is full of culture in this aspect too. Having developed a fondness for Victorian design, I want to come out with an aesthetic mix. I think today’s Odette stands testimony to this.” In short, design is the USP of our products.
