A great sense of mixing her saree wardrobe gives this Bong beauty a mix of a girl-next door as well as a diva look.

Rani Mukherjee’s take on Accessories

The most popular silk sarees are Pure silk, Benaras Silk, Mysore silk, Kanchipuram, Orissa’s Ikat silk, Baluchari from Mushirabad, Gujarat’s Patola silk, Assam’s Muga sarees, Bandhani from Rajasthan, Paithani from Maharashtra, Pochampally from Andhra and Tamil Nadu’s Tanjore and Dharmavaram silk sarees.

bridal sarees wedding sareesAs a bride, you must select a saree that is not too heavy for you, as you need to be capable of carrying it the whole evening. It is best to get a heavy saree for the night ceremony and for the rest of the ceremonies of the day and the reception; you can go for something light. Other than the silk material, you can go for the Kashmiri embroidered bridal sarees, light synthetic tissue silks, creative Rajasthani bridals, Italian crepes and georgette. The tissue silks are cheap, light and easy to maintain, and paired with kundan, zari, zardosi and sequins they look quite splendid. The nylon or polyester made georgette are also light and can find a place in your wedding wardrobe for the additional ceremonies.

The Wedding Color

Traditionally red or maroon are the colors for an Indian bride, however, times are changing and a shift in bride’s preference to the shades of pink, peacock, golden yellow, green, yellow and other combinations are being noticed. The colors must be chosen keeping the complexion of the bride in mind as dark colors are good for fair-skinned brides and bright colors are the right choice for dusky brides.

The Saree Draping Style

There are various styles of draping a saree following the bride’s particular state of origin. Nonetheless, the most predominant style of draping is the North Indian style, where you make a “seedha pallu” bringing the free end of the saree in the front to display the intricate work of the pallu, and the South Indian Style, where you can do a left side opening of your pallu.

The Design

For a bride, it is essential to wear a nicely designed saree on her wedding day. Synthetic fabric is good to have gorgeous embroidery with zari, mirror, pearl, organza, patchwork, zardosi, sequins etc. Expensive fabric like silk, self laced simple designs look graceful. Even the south silk sarees are good but expensive choices as pure gold threads are used in them.

The Saree Blouse

Generally the bridal sarees come with dress material for the blouses, but if you have to take a separate blouse you have to get the perfect match in color of the saree or a color contrasting to the sari but matching the border maybe. You can further give matching neck and arm cuts for the blouse.

Indian weavers make the world’s most expensive saree


worlds most expensive sareeHow much can you spend on a saree? A couple of thousands? May be at the most Hundred thousand? Well now the range will stop at Rupees 40 hundred thousand or $100,000. Behold the most expensive saree in the world! You might be guessing what might have gone inside the saree to claim this gigantic price? Well a grand fabric, exquisite jewels and believe it or not paintings.

Chennai based textile house, ‘The Chennai Silk” has carefully woven a silk saree with 12 valuable metals and stones, imitating 11 renowned paintings of Raja Ravi Verma. This saree has secured a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “world’s most expensive saree.” The handloom weavers of “The Chennai Silks” have replicated Ravi Verma’s highly praised painting “Lady Musicians” on the pallu which exhibits female musicians from different cultural backgrounds. The saree weighs around 8 kilograms.

The talented artist has been given a tribute in the border of the saree as well, which flaunts another 10 paintings of Ravi Verma along with the intricate details of the ladies like curly hair, and the jewelry worn by them.

Some of the precious stones that have gone into the saree are ruby, emerald, gold, diamond sapphire, silver, cat’s eye, yellow sapphire, coral, pearl and platinum. These have been used to beautify the women attributes in the paintings which are carefully hand woven into the saree in convoluted patterns. In order to create this saree, the efforts of 4,680 man-hours and a team of 30 skilled weavers, using a double warp, for seven months were involved. The saree embraces 7,440 jacquard hooks, which are instrumental in fabricating a design and 66,794 cards that are punched to create a precise design using CAD software.

This unique saree was launched in a star-studded occasion in the presence of celebrities like Mani Ratnam, Suhasini, Shobhana and Jeeva.

The proud Director of Chennai Silks proclaims that ‘This is the first time gems and art have been (put) together to make a sari’, and interestingly this saree is up for sale. A creation, which is truly art in itself, can be worn by a bride and is not meant for only creating a record.

Handy tips to wear a saree ‘Air-hostess’ style!


It’s the most important interview of your life and your friends may have suggested you to wear a sari in air-hostess style but how will go about it and that too if your Mom is not at home. Well you have done the right thing by opting for a google–search that has brought you to the right page.Hunter Green Net Party and Festival Embroidered SareeA sari usually measures 6 yards and you should hold the least patterned edge and tuck it into the draw-string of the petticoat. The first step in wearing an Indian Saree be it a party wear saree or any other type of saree is to wear a tight-fitting petticoat and blouse that will form the base of the sari. Make sure the undergarments worn below the blouse and petticoat are of good quality as they will not only give you a good fit but also boost your confidence. While tucking the pleats into the petticoat, you should ensure that bottom edge of the saree goes below your sandal so that the right length can be estimated. Then in the second step, you should hold the embroidered or the most decorative edge and throw it at the back of the shoulder which will become the ‘pallu’. The remaining length of the saree should be pleated together and then tucked into the petticoat as that will give the flow to the saree.

An airhostess style saree is tied in just the same way as a normal saree except that the pleats are held together quite nicely with the help of pins. A border saree will be just perfect for an ‘Air-Hostess’ style drape where the pallu is heavily pleated and pinned on the shoulder. Even the vertical pleats that are tucked at the navel are severely pleated and pressed. Same goes for the pallu pleats that are pinned at the shoulder.

To get the perfect ‘Air-hostess’ look you should wear a complimentary U-shaped saree blouse that covers the upper body completely and gives a very elegant and formal look. Mastering the ‘air-hostess’ style drape would help you create the desired impact in a formal setting like an interview or a conference.
