Traditional Indian wedding attire is gorgeous and very glamorous. In fact, half the fun of Indian weddings lies in dressing up. Men as well as women get a chance at decking up and match accessories to clothes. Especially for women, matching shoes, jewellery, make up, purse, bangles, nail polish and all other accessories form the entire package of wedding wear. Men are comparatively less jazzy but they still manage to be very stylish. http://www.sareez.com/

For men, western wear is also an option during weddings, but mostly sherwanis and dhotis are worn by men. Women opt for saris or lehenga for their wedding even though in some communities salwar kameez may also be worn.
Lehenga –The lehenga is a long skirt worn with a matching blouse, called choli and a dupatta. Lehngas are available in many cuts such as full cut, A-line cut, fishtail etc. Even cholis come in various patterns such as deep necked, tie ups, halters and many more. Lehengas are easier to wear than saris and therefore have gained a lot of popularity in recent years.
Sari – The sari is the age old wedding dress and is still the most worn outfit during weddings. Sari lengths vary from seven to nine meters and each state has its own special style of draping sarees. The blouse worn with sarees is usually less elaborate than the ones worn with lehengas.
Salwar kameez – Salwar kameezes are worn in very select parts of the country during weddings. Kameezes ae worn with churidars, salwars or patialas and are all embroidered for a gorgeous look.

Your wedding dress should be chosen with care. Light fabrics like chiffon, tissue and georgette do not suit heavy figures. For them silk is the best option. However, people who are slim may seem encumbered in silk and for them it is better to choose dresses made of lightweight fabrics.
Check out the current trends in marriage dresses before buying an outfit for your wedding. Try out the latest fashions to see if it suits you otherwise stick to the classics as they never go out of style.
Get your dress at least a couple of months prior to the marriage day so that any alterations can be made well before the wedding day. Accessorize well and look fabulous on your special day.
