It also looks different and imparts a fresh trendy look to the bride. Go for a short lehenga if you wish to wear a lehenga without the hassle.

Tip: Pair this with either a short scarf or go with a longer top to avoid the hassle of carrying a dupatta while your hands are covered with freshly applied henna designs.

Salwar kameez: If you want to keep it easy and simple, then a regular salwar kameez is also a great option. You can simply roll up the salwar to your knees leaving the calves exposed for easy application of henna without hassles.

Pick a short sleeves kurta so that the henna design is not hampered by the sleeves.

Tip: Pick any color that you fancy excepting the color chosen for your wedding and reception.
