What do you recall when someone says ‘Indian wedding’? Food, fun, and attire, right? Well, for me, Indian weddings are a saga of bridal saree and her charisma. India is such a nation where brides across different states wear different traditional sarees for their weddings. For instance, the gorgeous affair of Zari and silk on Banarasi sarees are the conventional attire for Bengali weddings. On the other hand, the glamorous Kanchipuram sarees complement the archness of the South Indian brides.
The wedding season is due soon. So, the would-be-brides
must be super excited and confused about the different bridal saree options
available to them. Bride army, worry no more as I’m here to share with you all
about the best sarees for your wedding.
Which Saree is Best for Wedding?
So which saree is best for wedding? Well, in my opinion,
if you aspire to carry a traditional outfit, then go for the elegant silk
sarees like Banarasi and Kanjivaram. Whereas, for the ladies who are dreaming
of a fairy-modern appearance, the attires like net and lace sarees and
Chikankari sarees are the premium choices.
The tales of wedding saree collection do not end here. I
have a lot more to share about the sarees for bride and the ways to carry them
perfectly on your D-day.
Latest Wedding Sarees in Fashion
Among a plethora of types of sarees for wedding, I thought
to put down all of the latest in-trend wedding sarees for the upcoming Shaadi
season. Let’s dive in.
1. Banarasi
Saree
The
Banarasi silk sarees echo the grandeur of intricate Zari-work. I feel that
these gorgeous sarees can be styled either way – conventionally and
contemporarily. The silk saree holds the potential to glam you up in all ways
of draping as well. Available in a wide range of colorful hues and motifs, you
can choose any Banarasi saree, drape it dreamily, and achieve the best Indian
bridal look.
2. Kanjivaram
Saree
Never
mistake to consider a masterpiece Kanjivaram as the trademark attire for the
south Indian brides. Irrespective of your origin, Kanjivaram silk sarees are
made to suit every one of you. Also known as Kancheepuram sarees, the
Kanjivaram silk sarees carry beautiful thread work to create natural motifs.
3. Assam
Silk Saree
Another
addition to the collection of silk sarees for wedding is the graceful Assam
silk sarees. The gorgeous affair of ivory, white, and gold in these sarees get
a bridal fine-tuning with an impeccable red border running through the fabric's
length.
4. Lace
Saree
Right
after the traditional outfits for the bride, let us migrate towards the
contemporary saree options. The premium in-trend modern saree is the net or
lace sarees. The white monochrome hues of these attires provide you nothing
less than the ‘Cinderella' appearance that every girl has dreamt in her
childhood for sure.
5. Chikankari
Saree
Just
as the Lucknawi Chikankari was getting forgotten, the fashionistas worked hard
to revive the art and brought the Chikankari sarees into the list of trending
wedding sarees for the year. The subtle pastel palettes of Chikankari sarees are
suitable not only for the nuptial ceremony but also blend perfectly in other
marriage rituals as well.
Sarees for Summer Wedding
I know how difficult it becomes to carry a heavy wedding
saree for the day-long in summers. But there are some breathable and
lightweight wedding sarees available too that keep you cool and comfortable
during the summer weddings.
1. Sheer Sarees
Everyone,
even the celebs, are going gaga behind the glamorous sheer sarees. These sarees
are an ultramodern amalgamation of cool fabric and contemporary designs. You
have the option to rise to the embroidered and sequined sheer sarees that are
extremely lightweight and best for glamming up your bridal look at the summer
wedding.
2. Silk
Sarees
Silk
sarees are lightweight. If pinned properly, you can easily manage the attire
for the entire day. Draping the silk sarees is an art, and the crisp saree pleats
are the epitome of beauty. Apart from being comfortable and airy, the silk
sarees fit snuggly to provide you a slim and tall appeal.
3. Blended
Silk Sarees
The
blended silk sarees are a step above the ordinary silk attires. For the brides
who love to innovate new looks, I feel the blended silk sarees are the perfect
option for them. These sarees look beautiful, elegant, and uplift the feminine
figure of the brides while keeping them comfortable and cool.
How to Wear Wedding Saree Perfectly?
The beauty of sarees lies in the art of draping. A suitable
draping style uplifts the beauties of any wedding saree, and the bride as well.
Not all sarees can be draped similarly. Some sarees look glamorous when
pleated, while open pallu suits some others. Before you jump into your Shaadi
preparations, have a look at the various styles of draping a wedding saree.
1. Pleated
Pallu
Pleats
provide you a neat and crisp bridal look. They also provide an extra slimming
and tall look than the open fall outfits. Pleats and traditional jewelry go
hand-in-hand. Though the pleats enhance your natural curves, carrying a waist
girdle can further highlight your waistline.
2. Open
Pallu
Open
pallus look extremely graceful and suit all wedding ceremonies, especially the
receptions and wedding parties. If you are slightly on the chubbier side, open
pallus can make you appear a little bulkier sometimes.
3. Maharashtrian
Draping
Who
doesn't love a peppy Maharashtrian bride carrying a Paithani saree draped the
Maharashtrian way? I am sure everybody! Going off-the conventional saree
wearing in a pleated or open pallu style, you can opt for wearing your wedding
attire in the Maharashtrian style.
4. Bengali
Draping
Coming
next is another wedding hit for the season – the Bengali draping style.
According to me, the Banarasi sarees look adorable when draped in the Bengali way.
If you drape your wedding saree in such a manner, you get a variety of makeup
and accessorizing options for experimentation.
Wedding Saree Colors
All the bridal sarees are unique on their own. Every color,
every style, every design reflects the expert kaarigari and creativity in the
best manner. However, if you are somewhat picky about the wedding saree colors
as per the skin shades, then I have some suggestions with me.
Wedding Saree Colors for Dark Skin
The dark hues are perfect for dark skin ladies. The wedding
sarees in the shades of dramatic grey, dark purple, golden, royal blue, bright
violet, and teal green are the uniquely best options for the higher skin tone
ladies out there.
Wedding Saree Colors for Fair Skin
Fair skin ladies have a plethora of wedding saree colors
lined up to choose from. Ivory, brick red, cobalt blue, turquoise, mustard
yellow, green, and magenta are the most in-trend and suitable saree colors for
brides with fair complexion.
By now, you must be prepared with the right saree option(s)
for your nuptial ceremony. But how do you style the attire to look different
than the others? Apart from draping perfectly, you can mismatch and play with
different accessories. Assimilate gajra, smoky eyes, heavy kajal, waist girdle,
heavy oxidized jewelry, or statement blouses into your wedding look to attract
even more eyeballs. While you experiment with the accessories and wedding saree
blouse designs, ensure that there is a delicate balance of too much and too
little spread throughout.
