Bridal Outfit
By K Kiss
Wedding Saree, Lahenga or Gharara
Remember that in order for the whole wedding to tell a story as a journey of the bride, it is essential to make use of the colours to its full capacity. The engagement as I have discussed in my hub on Engagement sarees and lahenga, is best represented by pastel colours like pale pink, purple, yellow, green or white. I suggest brides to appear in light colours in their engagements to give the essence of a new beginning. For holud or mehendi, I advised the Bangladeshi, Pakistani or Indian brides to go wild with colours. Choose any daringly bright colour that your heart desire. I discussed Sarees for Holud and Mehendi extensively in my hub on it. This hub is exclusively dedicated to the occasion of the wedding itself in Bangladesh, Pakistan or India.
After the friends and relatives of the happy bride and groom thoroughly enjoyed the playfulness of the bridal holud or mehendi, it is time for the centre point of the whole wedding festivals, which is the day or night of the wedding itself.
For the wedding, I strongly advise the bride to be draped in strong womanly colours. Wedding being the main attraction of the whole festival, the bride’s bridal saree or lahenga should speak the story of a strong woman entering the life of marital bliss with a strong sense of being which can truly only be represented by the colour red primarily but deep pink, fuchsia, orange or purple also suffices. Any bold colour that steer clear of dark shadows looks wonderful on a bride on her wedding day.
Bridal Sarees
Bridal dress can be in the form of either saree, lahenga or gharara, though saree is regarded as the most traditional of all the bridal outfits. Bridal sarees are not just the most traditional but also the most feminine due to the fact that it is draped rather than sewn to fit the bride.
Bridal Lahenga
Lahenga for the wedding is also a good option. Bridal lahengas come in various shapes, namely, flowing A cut, Fish tail also known as the Mermaid’s tail cut and the basic voluminous lahenga skirt.
Bridal Gharara
Bridal Ghararas are also quite beautiful. Ghararas are more widely worn by brides in Pakistan than Bangladesh or India.

Wow. Such lovely gowns. I love the pink gharara. These outfits look like they are incredibly expensive too!
Yes the pink gharara is indeed a work of art. All the bridal dresses in this hub are quite on the expensive side ... All above $1000 at the least but then a girl has her dreams of her wedding attire and that needs to be fulfilled :)

What gorgeous outfits. This was interesting, I'd never heard of the gharara, they're very graceful.
