Ivory and gold doesn’t really ever get old does it? Some might call it boring, but when it is elegant, stylish and classy, it can’t be wrong. Sticking to just that, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot this April, in cream and gold. And while they broke hearts, and we shed a tear, it's safe to say we've moved on (somehow) and can't wait to see them in 'Bhramastra.' Now coming to the wedding, as always, we’re temporarily ignoring the groom and how dapper he looked, because we’re all #TeamBride. So, if you’re dreaming of ivory and gold wedding outfits, we’ll make the dream sequence easier with designers that do this beautiful colour combination just as well. 

Sabyasachi Mukherjee

This name needs no introduction. An iconic and even cult designer now, Sabyasachi Mukherjee is almost synonymous with bridal wear. And we’re starting with this, because Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor picked this designer for their outfits. For the wedding ceremony Alia Bhatt wore a  an ivory organza sari embroidered with fine tilla work and an embroidered handwoven tissue veil. While Ranbir opted for an embroidered silk sherwani, according to the official Instagram handle of Sabyasachi.

If it’s one of your life’s missions to own a Raw Mango saree, Sanjay Garg’s gorgeous sarees are now cult level, especially if you’re looking for muted colours - in this case gold and cream. This one from Raw Mango, Sevti, is a handwoven Chanderi , featuring floral butis across the whole saree in gold zari. If you’re wondering how it’s got that hint of sheen, then it’s all thanks to the silk weave. There’s also an organza silk option if you prefer that over the chanderi. 

Another option from Raw Mango is the Sajili, also an organza beauty that features gota embroidery, floral Zardozi butis across the pallu

Making their mark with linen, Anavila saris have a way of stunning the audience with their chalky pastel shades and simple elegance. Bright light metallic saree, which blends linen and zari is perfect for a big occasion. But for something that will stand out more, pick this Jamdani sari. If you want to stick to basics, and really snap up a sari that epitomises the roots of Anavila, look no further than this handwoven linen sari which comes with natural colour gradation. With a hint of yellow rather than just white, you’ll definitely be wearing this over and over. Just accessorise smartly, and wait till it’s back in stock!

House of Kotwara

Founded by filmmaker and artist, Muzaffar Ali – the Raja of Kotwara, and this architect wife, Meera Ali, there’s no way you can go wrong with an outfit from House Of Kotwara. Known for taking the ancient embroidery techniques of Chikankari, Aari and Zardozi and updating them onto current trends and contemporary silhouettes, the apparel from this brand does heritage justice. So, if you are a fan of the looks seen in Ali’s films, including the beautiful Umrao Jaan, Anjuman and Jaanisaar, this label is for you. Their Chikankari collection is stunning, and exudes ivory and gold charm be it the more casual kurta sets or the more grand ghararas. This chikankari choga gharara set is straight off the Lakme Fashion Week runway, if you’re looking to dress up to date. If you’re investing in something more classic and timeless, go for the kurta sharara set

Combining design sensibilities over generations with roots in Jaipuri craftsmanship and aesthetics, Nidhi Tholia’s collections are full of vibrant colour, and intricate designs making them perfect for wedding season. Moving away from their usual, this elegant cream and gold sharara set says a lot without being too OTT.  We love the scalloped dupatta (and Gota Patti embroidery) and how well it ties the whole look together. Made of georgette, this set really flows, and makes it ideal for day time events. If you’re not looking for something not quite as grand, feel free to pick up this chanderi mal mal outfit.

Price: INR 40,000 upwards

Abhinav Mishra

If making a grand entrance (whether you’re the bride or part of the couple’s entourage) is your goal, then blindly pick up something from celeb favourite Abhinav Mishra. This lehenga set aptly named Sheesh Mahal will truly dazzle. Ideally, if you’re a bride (or female relative), all eyes will be on you in this outfit. The intricate mirror work with zari and resham is breathtaking, and perfect for dancing the night away. If not that, then Abhinav Mishra has a whole collection of cream and gold called "Chandini Raatein" for you to choose from.

Price: INR 2 lakh upwards

Tarun Tahiliani

Perhaps the man behind the whole white-gold trend from way back when, you can’t miss out on Tarun Tahiliani’s collection when it comes to bridal wear. Perfecting the art of making things look flowy and airy, you'll find most of Tahiliani's ensembles are made of chiffon, net, and now, very fine Italian tulle. Especially since it can be easily embroidered on. When we once interviewed the man himself, he said that he felt bad that brides had to carry up to 20 kilos on themselves, which is why he also opted to use crystals and gota to add gold to the creams and ivory, instead of chunky thread work. Taapsee Pannu has been seen in the quintessential cream-gold by Tahiliani, while Kartina Kaif too dazzled in his creation. For now though, we're going to be lost in the Pakeezgi collection of lehengas, shararas, concept sarees, and kurtas that feature mirror jadau work, jaalies, resham three dimensional embroideries.
