Bengali Wedding Dresses for Brides

Weddings are always very special. For me, if you ask, a wedding is about making memories. In India, as we know there is diversity in culture and each culture has its wedding rituals which might differ from one other. Not only rituals but the bridal look also differ from place to place and culture to culture. I have attended many different weddings and I have to say among them Bengali wedding is one of my favorite. If you have ever attended a Bengali wedding then you will understand why I have counted Bengali weddings among my favorites. Not only the food and rituals, the thing that attracts me the most is the Bengali bride’s outfit. How gorgeous and elegant they look. I found everything just perfect. Therefore here I am giving you little information about the Bengali bride’s outfit. So! let’s get started-

1. Red benarasi lehenga in Bengal wedding dress

Red is the color that most Bengali brides prefer to wear on the day of the wedding. As we know that lehenga is something that brides personally love to wear and when it is red there is no chance of saying no to it. Whenever I have been to a Bengali wedding, I have mostly witnessed brides wearing a red lehenga and this is the reason why I have mentioned it here. It’s on you to choose the best design and a piece of complementary jewelry for your wedding dress. To enhance your look, you can wear jewelry like kundan, polka, meenakari, etc. 

2. Red Silk Eight-Fold Saree 

As you know the saree is something that never goes out of fashion and reflects Indian tradition and culture. If you ever have been to a Bengali wedding or have a Bengali friend then you must know that the Bengali saree draping style is different than normal. Talking about Bengali weddings, following their tradition is a must. As you can see the in the image, the bride is wearing a beautiful red silk saree with no bottom plates and pallu located just right over her shoulder.

Another one in the queue is the Zardozi georgette saree which is again the favorite of all brides, especially the Bengali brides. Talking about the Zardozi georgette saree, I would say that it is a mixture of modern touch and a traditional touch. I have seen many Bengali brides wearing Zardozi saree in their wedding and looking graceful and elegant. Whenever I look at the Zardozi lehenga, the only thing that I can think of is royalty. The grandeur and opulence of the lehenga come from its heavy and elaborate metal embroidery which is the reason behind its look. 

4. Red saree with golden zari work

Bengali brides are so graceful and a red saree with golden zari work is something that adds extra glitter to their look. A red saree with golden zari work is one of the most worn outfits by Bengali brides. To complement their look, brides can wear traditional Bengali jewelry that is famous all over India. As we know that golden zari work never goes out of fashion.

So choosing the red color zari work saree will be a good idea. It will give you a wedding vibe and glitters will be added if draped in Bengali style.
