Indian Wedding Ceremony Outfit

Of course one of the main focal points of any wedding ceremony is the bride’s wedding dress. Traditionally, the Indian bride will wear a heavy and full lengha with bright colors and bold gold jewelry. In America, traditions have merged and we see the Indian bride shifting to a more simple and contemporary style lengha.To keep a good balance of traditional and modern, most brides prefer to stay in the area of a rec wedding lengha, however we have seen beautiful Indian brides that wear a predominantly white or green lengha. Another thing to keep in mind when trying to stick to your roots is that gold is a color that is believe to be associated with good fortune and wealth, so although silver is becoming a more popular highlight color, most Indian brides opt to stay with classic gold, for their wedding outfit anyway.
Lastly, remember that it’s not ALL about your outfit that makes you look great on your wedding day. The bhindis above your eyebrows, your up-do, your ornate jewelry, and your mendhi will all keep you looking like a beautiful traditional bride.

Here is how.Less is more And, girl, is that the truth! You must not at all fall into the tacky trap of over-accessorizing correctly because you want to call concentration to yourself, not to the baling- blinks strung all over you like a rap star with a serious fetish for thick, clunky gold chains and big rocks.
