Indian
Brides have different kinds of dresses for their wedding.
The wedding dresses worn by Indians are very different from
the western . An Indian bride is expected to sparkle on her
special day, so the Indian wedding dresses are usually very
colorful with difficult designs and embroidery. Unlike the
traditional white usually worn by western brides, the Indian
wedding dresses are often red because white is a color of
mourning in many areas of the world. Red Indian wedding dresses
are considered to be good luck and will bring the couple much
happiness.
Since
India is of various culture and religion depending on what
region you are in, the Indian wedding dresses will vary too.
Some common styles used, however, are the sari, gaghra choli,
and shalwar chameez. The sari is what many people have already
seen Indian women wearing. The cloth is wrapped around the
body, either secured by pins or tucked into the waistband.
The gaghra is a long skirt and short blouse with a scarf,
called a dupatta, draped across the bride’s chest. The
shalwar chameez is a long tunic over pants. It too has the
dupatta draped across the chest, but the bride can specify
that the dupatta be worn around the neck or over the head.
Indian
wedding dresses are often a combination of difficult patterns,
threading, sequences and beadwork. Some Indian brides with
money have their Indian wedding dresses embossed in part with
pure gold or silver. The Indian wedding dresses are usually
made of a fabric that reflects light well such as satin, silk,
or chiffon.
Other
accessories are available with Indian wedding dresses. There
can never be too many necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings
or hair decorations on an Indian bride. It is all part of
the ornamentation of the bride on her wedding day.
