Ramp wins from the recently-concluded India Bridal Fashion Week. Take a look!

While we saw some fashion fails at the recently concluded Bridal Fashion Week, the stylish affair wasn't without its share of fun, experimental designs on the ramp.

Here's a look at some of the best designs from the show.

Avza

Showstopper Chitrangada Singh lent her regal aura to the Avza line which was dominated by red and black colours and gold accents.

Her asymmetrical lehenga, woven bodice and multi-strand golden kamarbandh looked like the perfect attire for an adventurous bride-to-be.

Designer Mandira Wirk's bridal line too featured golden accents predominantly.

This heavily embroidered jacket-kurta with a sheer detail was understated perfection redefined on model Deepti Gujral.

Ashima and Leena

This refreshingly colourful Ashmia and Leena lehenga came as a welcome change from the monotonous red that Indian wedding attire is so strongly associated with.

Neeta Lulla

Neeta Lulla's bohemian spin on a bridal attire with this short velvet kurta and a fiery orange skirt is all kinds of amazing.

The two clashing colours complement each other quite well.

Tarun Tahiliani

India's master couturier Tarun Tahiliani went the classic way with a delishly magnificent red lehenga with heavy embroidery and a velvet choli.

Speaking of conservative clothing, this well-cut outfit with a shawl from Tarun Tahiliani's newest collection for men was much lauded for its nifty use of separates.

Rohit Bal

Rohit Bal wins maximum brownie points with this majestic lehenga in white and gold.

Nothing spells regal wedding like an exemplary use of rich colours, cuts and design.

Known for his understated bandhgalas and sharp suits, Raghvendra Rathore had a winner on his hands with this refreshingly colourful outfit in his collection on display.

Extra points for reinforcing some much needed colour in men's clothing.

From the same line, comes this spunky yet ethnic jacket for women.

As powerful and fashionable a statement as a piece of clothing can make.

JJ Valaya's showstopper, actress Esha Gupta looked lovely in this lehenga showcasing various shades of red.

Another successful spin on the traditional outfit.

This designer duo had us at that lovely embroidered bodice and the hemline's silver detail.

Way to keep it striking yet tasteful.

Meera and Muzaffar Ali

This Meera and Muzaffar Ali creation was a sure winner with its sequins, golden borders and a splash of green in the choli.

Shantanu and Nikhil

That bodice is, by far, the most outstanding element we saw on the ramp.

A striking piece of work on its own, it was beautifully offset by the white tulle skirt.
