Emerald green lehengas have stealthily become one of the most sought after shades for Indian weddings and other festive occasions in the US. Why is that? For starters, emerald is the ideal combination of tradition and trendiness luxurious enough for brides, but versatile enough to pull off a sangeet or a Diwali party just as well. In fact, if you have spent hours browsing between red or gold lehengas and looking for something unique, an emerald lehenga is likely your ideal choice.

Below, we explain why an emerald lehenga is such a popular choice among US based women, what silhouettes and fabrics you should look for when choosing an emerald lehenga, how to style one, and where to purchase and try on one if you live in Dallas.

Why an Emerald Green Lehenga Is Having a Moment

For many years, colors like red and gold have ruled the bridal and wedding guest outfits. However, there is a new entrant to this trend, namely an emerald lehenga. Some of the reasons this color continues to be popular include:

Emerald green is great on film: An emerald lehenga looks beautiful in any kind of lighting whether day time or night time. This is why an emerald lehenga does so well in wedding photography.

Emerald green looks great on a variety of skin tones: There are some jewel colors that tend to suit particular skin undertones. An emerald lehenga happens to look good on all.

Emerald green is easy to match either with other metallic colors or contrasting colors.

What to Look For in an Emerald Green Lehenga

All emeralds aren't made equal, and neither are lehenga silhouettes. Before purchasing a lehenga, take into account these things:

Fabric weight: Heavy silks and velvets in a lehenga can be worn during formal winter weddings, while light georgettes and nets are best for summer or outdoors wedding ceremonies that occur in America.

Silhouette: The flared silhouette of the lehenga is appropriate for receptions and sangeet where mobility is important, while the sleeker one can be used by those who prefer a modern look.

Embroidery: Embroidered lehengas are best worn at ceremony and receptions, while a less embroidered one is appropriate for a daytime function or small gathering.
