“Today, the young aged people want to wear clothes for bridal wear but something that’s away from the norms of traditional look and this was specially aimed at destination weddings where you don’t want to dressed up very heavy, in terms of the saree and stuff. It has to have spunk, it has to have sensuality,” she added.
