Sarees and Wedding – A Glamorous Duo

Weddings and glamorous outfits are synonymous with each other. Everybody and anybody who attends a wedding take infinite care with the outfits they wear, irrespective of if they are directly related to the bride and groom. It's the only occasion that the men find to bring out their ethnic clothing and give it an airing while the ladies have a hard time. Not because they do not have the right kind of garments to wear, but because they have too many of them and are not sure which one to choose. Sarees are an indispensable part of the Indian woman's wardrobe and even the most modern of fashionistas have at least half a dozen sarees stowed away at the back of her wardrobe.

 

Sarees are among the foremost garments considered when it comes to dressing up for a wedding. And when the guests are so worked up and confused about what to wear, the plight of the bride is worse. She has to sometimes change from one saree to another during the ceremony which makes things even more complicated. Some religions and castes prescribe a particular drape for the saree for the wedding ceremony like the Madisar for the Tamil Brahmin girls. So, the saris for the actual wedding ceremony are not only supposed to be draped only in a certain way, there are also rules and limitations about the color of the saree that can be worn. Sarees with a black border or even a hint of black anywhere on the saree as well as dark, like black, colors like grey and indigo are ruled out. In fact, in some families, the bride is not allowed to wear black at any event of the marriage.

 

But the actual wedding ceremony apart, there are enough other events that make up an Indian wedding ceremony. And the bride has to wear one, if not two, different dresses for most of these events. This gives the bride ample scope to showcase her favorite color or her love for dark, light, or quirky shades to the greatest. Some brides also choose other garments like the lehenga for their bridal wear, like to wear during the reception. It adds a nice touch of fashion to her costume as well as giving her a change from wearing just a sari at the event after event. The Lehenga consists of a long skirt with heavy embellishments or prints with a broad zari border teamed with a matching blouse. A dupatta, which looks something like a sash and is draped from the shoulder to the waist, in contrasting color completes the look.
