Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014 is over but left us with so much inspiration for our Indian brides. Whether you're planning a
destination wedding on a beach or a traditional ballroom affair, there were some great ideas walking down the runway for you this past week. Make sure to
pin your favorites before you start your
wedding trousseau shopping! There are my favorites for the destination Indian bride. You want to feel the sand in your toes while your mehndi is applied and you want your guests in brightly colored saris dancing the night away.

Gold has been a favorite in 2014 and it continues to reign supreme on the runway. My personal favorite is this first one below, but any of these would be great for a modern Indian bride!

Don't worry, we didn't forget about Indian groom fashion! There weren't as many options for the guys but we did see some great sherwani and kurta ideas.

And last but not least, the guests! Yes, the wedding day is all about the bride (and groom), but the party is to celebrate with YOU! Let down your hair, take off the heels and get ready to dance in one of these gorgeous lehngas, saris or churdiars!
