She looks so
gorgeous on her special day. And its not just the glow on her
face, but also the dress for the occasion. Okay, without too
much further ado, it is the bride being spoken about. Actually
not her but her outfit for the special date.
The bride is noticed by everyone in attendance; and the status
of the bride’s family is evaluated on the basis of her dress.
Yes, the groom’s
family, especially those envious relatives are making mental
notes about the bride and her family from the dress she wears.

So, people in India, take care of the
bridal wear separately and with great detail. The dress is most of the
times prepared on demand according to the bride’s measurements to avoid
any end time confusions and inconveniences.
Earlier a typical Indian bride would wear a saree. A very heavy saree
embellished with gold wire and semi-precious jewels. However, as time
went by, instead of the tradional saree brides began to wear something
more comfortable and convenient such as the lehenga-choli-chunni set,
the ghaghra choli and in parts of north India heavily adorned salwar
kameez.
Shopping starts months before the marriage. Nowadays, one gets to see
the latest trends in marriages. People today are willing to spend huge
sums of money on clothes. Indian marriages are anyways very lavishly
celebrated.
Therefore the Indian market has become so competitive and has gone
international. The trend set in recently are short cholis with pants
(usually embroidered), short kurtas are still very much in, with broad
salwaars or embroidered pants, and shararas are back with a bang.
Fashion of the eighties and nineties is coming back, only with different
patterns and designs. Sequins work and handwork is very much in demand
along with beadwork. Designer Indian bridal wear is in vogue for those
who can afford them.
People now want variety and they like detailing their clothes. Zardosi
is totally out from the fashion spot now. Indian wedding Sarees very
much rule the scenario presently. Beauticians have come up with
different and new ways to drape wedding sarees.
Ladies from teenagers to the elder generation can be spotted wearing
colorful sarees with funky blouses, making them look sensuous and
elegant at the same time.
