The glorious autumn is already knocking at our doors. It’s officially our annual festive season! And, close on the heels of the festival time has arrived our colorful, multi-hued wedding season. India’s weddings are famous the world over for their lovely customs and grand celebrations. The beautiful and intricate ensembles form an integral part of our weddings.
And, Indian weddings are incomplete without sarees – the most important Indian ensemble worn on all important and celebratory occasions. Although many trendy brides prefer wearing different ensembles, lehenga choli or Indo Western outfits, saree is still a non-negotiable, wedding attire in most traditional communities.
From Panetar and Gharchola to Bandhanis, Banarasis and Kanjeevarams, there are many traditional wedding sarees that have many legends and rituals attached to them. And, even when the bride wears a bridal lehenga choli for her marriage,designer wedding sarees are flaunted by her tribe – her closest family members, her bridesmaids, friends and even the other female guests at the functions.
There is so much variety in this range that getting confused is quite likely. In our wedding saree collection, you will find an enviable range of sarees in various fabrics, embelishments, styles and colors. But, our most important tip this season is – go for the traditional, handloom varieties, as they are suddenly the flavor of the moment!
Here, we present you a list of 100% traditional and handmade wedding sarees that are integrally linked to Indian weddings. Choose them to wear on a close friend’s or cousin’s wedding, or wear it for an important function on your wedding –
