Neeta Lulla has been one of the most prominent names in the Indian fashion industry for almost three decades now. Her design philosophy is versatile, and her collections range from chic party wear to breathtaking, opulent bridal ensembles. If you're looking for a wedding outfit that'll make heads turn, pick one of the glamorous designs by this queen of bridal fashion. It doesn't really matter whether you're the bride, the groom, or a member of the baaraat, you're sure to find your dream fit from her festive collection. Let's take a look at the trousseau and other wedding collections by this style guru from 2013-2014.

The year that was: 2013

As usual, the India Bridal Fashion Week 2013 saw all the glitz and glamour as Neeta Lulla showcased her grand vintage collection titled 'Bridal Goddess' on days 5 and 6. An expert at fashion shows, Lulla's collection of western and ethnic did not disappoint. The focus was mainly on long, white net skirts, lean tunics, tulle covers and gowns with sexy fish trails, and it was an absolute treat to behold. A very interesting ensemble was the smart use of the trench coat over belted, lace sarees. Though she stuck mainly to her traditional lehengas and sarees, there was an edge of innovation to the collection that was refreshing and left the audience enthralled.

Another delightful element of the event were adorable showstoppers and actor couple, Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'souza. Riteish was adorned in a royal blue, satin, Nehru-collared jacket, which had a dash of gold patchwork, over a midnight blue kurta with floral embroidery work on it; this was paired it with plain, royal blue trousers. Genelia looked like she had stepped straight out of a fairytale, in a bouffant hairdo and copper brown, satin ball gown with a sweeping trail. The brocade in deep pink and dull gold at the borders and other similar intricate embroidery complemented the copper tinge to the gown and made for a breathtaking ensemble. This is definitely the pick of the week!

Looking ahead: 2014

Neeta's new venture with ace director Subhash Ghai, called 'The Whistling Woods - Neeta Lulla School of Fashion', has kept her busy most of this 2014. After having designed for some of the finest Indian films and biggest stars in Indian cinema, she is now ready for the second innings in her career and plans to give back what she has learnt over the years to the students of her academy. 'The Whistling Woods - Neeta Lulla School of Fashion is the first of its kind fashion school created by the industry, for the industry. With this venture, we aim to provide relevant practical training and in-depth industry knowledge to fashion aspirants across the country', says Siddharth Lulla, Neeta's son, who manages the fashion school and her other businesses. With the help of her capable son, Neeta has been busy with expanding the business at the retail distribution level too.

Her brand, along with her signature couture collections, will now venture into creating more scalable designs for the common masses. The mother-son duet even established an online store recently, which has made the brand more accessible to international clientele. With Neeta's daughter, Nishka, now assisting her in the fashion world, we're bound to see new innovations and ventures from this fashionista real soon. Watch this space for more!
