As one of my closet cousin & SIL is getting married in
few months time, I was simultaneously doing up lot of leg-work on their wedding
ideas. From bridal trousseau to jewellery to decor, the list is enormous. Apart
from brides, I need to plan for bridesmaid & all the uncle & aunties.
Poof!!
After arguing and fighting over what to wear, we finally
round upon quintessential SARI. Yeah –the Indian national dress & the
epitome of feminity. Except It should not be conventional 6 yard but sum thing
“hatke”. Belonging to far northIndia(Punjab),donning a sari in the past had always been a
little more of challenge. Even after
marriage, despite its sensuality & my utter fondness, it has always taken a
backseat.
However, time seems to be changing. Over the past couple of years,
sari has gone with a total makeover. Thanks to our budding designers. They have
redefined our conventional sari to a western outfit. With lot of design
alteration on the Indian six yard silhouette, it has now transformed into
varied concept styles.
Lehenga saree (left)- It’s
a form of ready-made saree that arose from the need of an artistic yet easy to
wear wedding attire. Best part is you do not have to spend painful minutes on
the pleats. But simply tuck & Drape & gives an illusion of lehenga.
Gown Saree (left) – It’s
becoming a latest rage among fashion forward girls. Suitable for bridemaid, it
surly will make you a head turner. As it looks its more of a western outfit but
still manage to give glimpses of traditional saree.
Saree with Bolero
jacket (right)– Our own queen of fashion had created a buzz when she walked the
red carpet donning a Saree with a jacket. Since then it has become an instant
hit on fashion circuit.
Half Saree- This
recent style has been picked up after the release of “Chennai express”.
Style Diva Deepika padukone has worn half sari in her latest
film which has now become a preferred attire for wedding receptions. Girls who are doubtful about carrying off a
sari are opting for a half sari as it adds a young and a fusion feel to their
look.
Above pictures with concept sari’s are no doubt looks
elegant but expensive too. But if you can invest time & apply your creative
instinct, you too can design your own masterpiece with much less worth. Also
there are many sites which offer replicas of designer outfits in far low prices.
They are just a click a away.

Hey, indeed vintage drape will always be extraordinary. But due to many aspects like comfort & time constraint, girls are opting for different styles which are high in fashion too. Everybody wants to add that oomph factor to their dressing which indeed makes them a head turner if worn correctly.
