Wedding is a dream and most important occasion in any women’s life. For any woman, it is a dream to have the perfect look and an exclusive dress. In India, weddings are attached with several rituals and celebrate with grandeur. There is will be a mehendi ceremony, sangeet, and a reception in the north Indian culture where the bride needs to change her dress in accordance with each function. In south Indian process, there will be a series of functions ranging from Vrutham, Mapillai Azhaippu, Nichayathartham, and the muhuthram (which is the wedding itself). There is also a reception apart from these, and as mentioned like North Indian style, the bride is expected to change the attire for each function. The bride can choose sarees or lehengas that are heavy and grand.
