Pix: Anamika Khanna designs for bold and beautiful bride

Moving away from the traditional demure bridal wear designs, designer Anamika Khanna's bridal collection was all about sharp cuts and smart silhouettes. While traditional colours such as gold were used aplenty, Khanna also dared to experiment with black like in this design alongside.

Leggings and jackets ruled the Delhi-based designer's collection that used the Indian Maharaja living in a contemporary world as a point of reference.

Khanna's use of gold and silver though liberal was not 'blingy', a word often associated with the two colours. She opted for softer hues lending her designs a contemporary touch.

What is a bridal collection without red? The traditional sharara however gets a modern twist with a dash of black.

A tank top teamed with a pair of leggings and a pair of golden wedges? Now that's a new-age bride for you! Wonder what the in-laws have to say?

Netted leggings and an asymmetrical bottom in black contrasts the well-defined top in white. Yet again not the traditional colours (or silhouettes) for an Indian bride.

A long flowy skirt with lace teamed with a well-defined jacket makes for a clean silhouette.
