An Indian wedding is often celebrated extravagantly, with the planning and preparations taking place up to a year or more before the big day. India's multicultural landscape results in a myriad of popular wedding styles linked to various regional traditions. Today's bride can create a wedding that reflects the culture and history of her home region, while adding modern touches to make the ceremony truly exceptional.
A vital part of any wedding is the bride's dress. To celebrate regional traditions, a bride may don a salwar-kameez or lehnga, but today, most brides choose the sari over any other wedding dress. The versatile sari is found in various fabrics, motifs, colors and design. The customary wedding colors of yellow and red offer visually stunning choices that complement the simplistic draping of a sari.
The groom may celebrate his traditional roots by slipping into a shervani, kurta, dhoti or churidar pajama. Grooms often create modern, elegant styles by combining Indian apparel with Western influences, such as the three-piece suit. You can mix the expected with the unexpected, for example, by wearing loose, comfortable churidar pants with a smart evening jacket and tie.
The bride's hair ornaments and jewelry are used to create dramatic effects. It is not uncommon for the bride to wear layers of golden baubles, including rings, nose rings, tikka headpieces, bracelets, bangles and more.
