Pastel colors
This combination never gets old. Soft pastel colors and the delicate traditional kebaya have been proven to be a match made in heaven.

Neon
For something more bold, choose a color that pops for your kebaya. You can opt for a bright yellow kebaya as pictured above or choose other vibrant colors like lime green or fuchsia. Make sure that the color doesn't clash with your makeup and decorations.

The new neutral
There's no need to limit yourself to safe colors such as beige or off-white. Raisa wore a beautiful mauve-colored kebaya for her engagement to Hamish Daud—see how it beautiful it looks on her!

Gem tones
If you prefer something darker, try wearing gem colors such as sapphire blue, emerald, or ruby red. We love how this bride paired her navy kebaya with a simple bun adorned with a white orchid.

Intricate beadwork
There's nothing like beadwork to make your kebaya sparkle from afar and look extravagant when viewed up close. We love how the beadings on the left stretch from the neckline down to the hemline, accentuating the bride's figure. Paired with rose gold jewelry, we say this one is a winner.

Let's not forget the back details! Complementing the backless style, this bride added hanging tassels from her shoulders to add an interesting twist to her kebaya.

Peplum
For something more modern, look no further than the on-trend peplum kebaya. This piece by BOH?! really left us breathless. Fresh light mint green color, 3D flower embellishments, peplum style, and a Shanghai collar, this kebaya has it all.

Off-the-shoulder
Here's another modern take on the classic lace kebaya. Combine an off-the-shoulder neckline with a modest length for an alluring yet still appropriate look.

Loose fit
Who said a kebaya has to tightly hug your figure? This bride opted for a loose kebaya with intricate beadings on the shoulders and chest, which looks casual yet dreamy at the same time.

Kebaya dress
If you want to wear a dress with the charm and elegance of a kebaya, take some cues from Tyas Mirasih. Her form-fitting dress had an intricate pattern cascading down the center of the dress, resembling a traditional lace kebaya.
