South Indian wedding morning
The Muhurtam Bride
A traditional Kanjivaram in maroon, mustard or temple-gold, paired with a structured elbow-sleeve blouse in raw silk, antique temple jewellery, jasmine and a single string of pearls. The drape is the seedha pallu, pleated tight, pinned at the shoulder so the korvai border falls vertical.
Phera, Sangeet, Reception
The North Indian Bride
A pure-zari kadhua Banarasi in deep red, persimmon or ivory, with a fully hand-embroidered blouse, kundan-polki choker and the lehenga-style pallu drape. For the sangeet, an organza Banarasi in pastel with a sequinned blouse keeps the silhouette light enough to dance in.
