Indian Vintage Wedding Dresses

There is not doubt that the contemporary style is all about innovation with a lot of blending of styles. But really speaking, the vintage styles are unique and still stand out. There was a perfect fusion of glamour and sophistication. If you looking into the wedding albums of your parents, grandparents and others, who belong to a coupe of generations prior to the presence, you would notice how beautiful the bride in the picture looks.

The typical Indian vintage wedding dresses were the ghagra choli. This is a long flowing skirt with a long scarf that was draped on the head of the bride. Commonly the brides wore various shades of red, as red is considered the symbol of being married. The garment would be adorned heavily with gold embroidery work.

Today, though brides continue to wear the ghagra choli, yet the styles are so different. They are in various indo-western cuts. They do look pretty, but yet the age-old designs and patterns look far better.

One can still get the indian vintage wedding dresses; especially from the older tailoring shops. One can go down the local markets where the old tailors and designers have their workshops. Their handiwork is exquisite and is value form money. In fact, most of them charge less than the today’s designers, who are ready to make a vintage style at sky-rocketing prices.
