Indians believe that the more beautiful the bride is, the more happiness she will receive.

India is known for its incredibly impressive traditional wedding dresses. Along with these are exquisite accessories, jewelry, and unique body painting art that clearly showcase the Indian identity in traditional wedding ceremonies.

Hand-embroidered and bejeweled sari (wedding dress)

The sari is the most popular traditional Indian attire, especially worn by Indian brides during wedding ceremonies. Brides often wear red saris to accentuate their radiant beauty.

In India, it is believed that the more beads and sequins adorn a sari, the more prestigious the bride is and the wealthier the family she will marry into. Did you know that some saris are embellished with thousands of beads and sequins, sewn by hand over several months?

Kalgi scarf for the groom

Instead of the traditional turban commonly used in some other Eastern countries, including Vietnam, Indian grooms wear a Kalgi turban adorned with gemstones. Previously, this type of turban was reserved only for royalty and nobility. However, in the last decade or so, most Indian weddings feature grooms wearing this type of turban.

The scarf is made from precious brocade fabric, the upper part is adorned with peacock feathers, and the lower part is elaborately decorated with colorful gemstones. The number of gemstones arranged on the scarf is also strictly regulated, signifying good fortune on the happy day.
