INDIAN BRIDAL WEAR: The Indian bride is beautifully adorned as she sets to grab the limelight. But the bride in India differs from state to state. Like the North Indian bride is normally dressed in red in contrast to a South Indian bride who dresses in green or yellow. The Rajasthani bride prefers a lehenga while the Punjabi bride takes on a salwar-khameez or a kurta, salwar and odhni. The nine-inch sari completes the indian bridal wear for a Maharashtrian. The Gujarathi bride normally uses shades of red, white and gold while onion pink with a red or gold border is the Bengali's prerogative.

Formal indian bridal outfits in the North and North-West can include a lacha with zardozi work, channya choli, lehenga cholis, sari's etc. The Punjabi bride loves to wear a red parandi
Flowers form a vital part for the South-Indian but they are not mandatory in the North. White flowers are sported decoratively around a bun in a Bengali and Maharashtrian bride. The south Indian brides get pink, orange and white flowers around her neatly braided hair.

Purchasing the right indian bridal wear demands a lot of time and energy. Shopping also encompasses purchases of formal, western formal and semi-casual. Casual dressing has no place in the agenda, as matrimonial occasions mostly demand formal meetings. Moreover the conventional shopping style is to bite the feminine look to the core. As one can wear the traditional sari and yet look modern. Today making a bold statement while keeping the effeminate bridal look in mind is in vogue.

Pastel shades and metallic tones along with the routine red and maroon always make its way to bride's wardrobe. Also nets, transparent textiles are in vogue.

Like the father of house accessories are topmost in bridal attire. The bride is normally loaded with chunks of jewellery to make her look more beautiful. However living in a post-modern world gold is losing its importance. Today fashion commands silver and white gold as awe striking. Simple designs woven in fine threads adorn the neck most beautifully. Matching it are simple long or dangling earrings and bangles. In the artificial section jadau jewellery, meenakari work or jewellery with a metallic look etc. is extensively used.

On the other hand applying mehendi on the bride's hands and feet is a ritual in the North but not comprehended in the South.

To an Indian bride her dress is most important. So be it a North Indian bride or a South-Indian bride the dress is given every minute detail to look extravagant.
