Wedding Sari |
|
|
The wedding sari is made of silk material and usually embodied with gold or silver thread. The sari is usually red or white or a combination of both, it can also have a little green. The sari is usually very heavy because of the embroidery. |
|
Lehanga |
|
|
|
A Lehanga consists of a skirt and top, the skirt is secured at the waist and leaves the back and midriff bare. The top can be short or long depending on what you choose. |
|
|
The Lehanga is another piece of Indian clothing which is often worn. Brides that are not used to wearing a sari find it difficult to walk and therefore a lehanga is a compromise. |

Wedding Outfit Tips |
|
|
|
It is a good idea to get a second lighter chunni made to match your lehenga, so your wedding outfit can be worn again at a family wedding. |
|
|
Alternatively, you could get a simple lehenga made and wear your wedding chunni with it. |
|
|
A simple outfit worn with heavy jewellery could be equally stunning. |
|
|
Choose what you like - the important thing is that you are comfortable on the day. |
|
|
Don't shop for your wedding outfit too early, trends change every season and you don't want to look like last seasons bride. However if you want something special and tailor-made you will be required to place your order a little earlier then buying off-the-shelf. |
|
|
Take someone that you trust and are close to who will give you an honest opinion on what the outfit looks like on you. |
|
|
If you are having a made-to-measure outfit then make sure you get everything in writing and especially the date the outfit will be ready by, always ask for your outfit to be ready at least 2-3 weeks before the wedding, incase of any lastminute emergencies. |
|
|
If you are buying off-the-peg, if the outfit needs altering is their a separate charge and how long will the alterations take. |
