In a time when most brides are steering clear of the reds and maroons to embrace pinks, pastels, ivories and even blues, greens and lavenders for their D-Day, actor Surbhi Jyoti went against the changing tides, keeping things refreshingly traditional. Going back to basics, particularly when referring to bridal ensembles, can feel blah to begin with. But Surbhi's wedding style file is proof that nothing quite, can manage to tug at the heart, as strongly as the generations-wide approved roulette of colours do.

Mehndi green for her mehndi The first of the big three, the mehndi night, saw Surbhi turn out in an effortless, fuss-free fit. While we're all for elaborate, OTT ensembles, especially if you're the bride-to-be, Surbhi's mehendi green shalwar suit, from Gopi Vaid Designs, with a heavy hand of golden embroidery, was simple, sophisticated and as on-theme as it gets. Sometimes less is more, and Surbhi's OOTN proved so.

Full props to the sheer pink dupatta also doused with golden accents for breaking the monotony.

The very subtle silver work coupled with the sheer flair of the silhouette's ghera turned out to be the perfect pick for the day event.

Paired with a sheer, silken tissue dupatta in ivory and the rule-of-thumb flower jewellery, Surbhi let her bridal glow take .
