I don't follow trends and weddings for me fall into the zone of classics.  The colors that I would recommend are: Red & Gold, marigold, orange, rani pink.

What new things can girls go for while considering the detailings like embroidery and other designs?

Brides should not follows fads blindly but  revive classics.

Apart from georgettes, net and chiffon, which other fabrics would be suitable for bridal lehngas?

Velvet, Brocade,  Khadi, Tanchoi,  Silk, Raw Silk, Khatan Silk.

What’s new in the styles of cholis?

Demure, long sleeves but with a scooped back for a touch of wickedness.

If a girl wants to go for a contemporary look, what designs, colours etc. she should prefer? Same question for the traditional look.

(a) For a contemporary look : What works best is toning down excess, long flowing lines and simplified repetitive embroidery.

(b) For a traditional look: Go in for monotones and embroidery in its purest form, steeped in heritage and tradition.

What would be Sabyasachi’s special advice to the brides while selecting their bridal lehnga?

Dress according to your body type & comfort level And don't be cowed down by traditions or social pressures.
