Where is BEAUTY?

We all are well aware of the quotation that “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. Does it stand true in all aspects of life or is it just a saying? 

One may find a bright orange color best for their wedding dress whereas some one else choose contrastingly pastel pink. At the end of the day both the brides look beautiful donning their favorite color attire.

So what makes both of them elegant?
