The Indian sari is a marvel. It is decent, graceful, and an enchanting garment. Indian women are admired for their beauty all over the world and this dress adds to the beauty of the Indian women. It is a decent, enchanting and graceful garment, and women find their aesthetic appearance very appealing.

The sari is an essential part of an Indian bride’s trousseau. Contrary to popular belief, red is not the only color worn by all brides in India on their wedding day. Different cultures have different colors which are significant to their regional customs or caste.

The brides of North India, Brahmins brides of south and those of Bengal wear red, which is considered a symbol of blood and marital bliss which are related to qualities of emotion and fertility.

Another color considered auspicious is yellow, which is related to a good harvest of wheat and mustard and is considered as a sign of prosperity. It is worn by the brides of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, where this wedding sari is known as ‘piri’, gifted by their grandmothers.

Brides of Maharashtra also wear yellow saris gifted by their maternal uncles for the wedding puja, but green is the color of their wedding saris, with a red border. Green is considered the symbol of fertility and prosperity. Brides of certain castes of Tamilnadu and Kerala also wear saris dyed in turmeric which gives them a yellow color.

White, which is considered a peace in some cultures and of mourning and widowhood in other Indian ones, is also used in some wedding saris. The brides of Assam wear their traditional Makhla Chaddar which is white with a zari border. Brides of the Santhali tribe wears a four meter white sari with a purple border. The Malyali bride wears a creamy white sari with a zari border.

Today brides have a vast variety to choose from banarsis, kanjiveerams, mysore silks, tanchois and many more from online stores like www.indianselections.com and www.indiashack.com. The choice is so vast that it becomes difficult for her to choose one for the most important day of her life, when all eyes are on her.

Whatever she may wear, though, she will still look resplendent, such is the glow of happiness that lines the face of the bride on her wedding day. Am I not correct?
