I will accept- my Mom has such gorgeous sarees that I wouldn't mind stealing them the first chance I get!
As a child, I would often wrap my mother's dupattas around my waist and pretend to be a bride. And I would always ogle at her wardrobe and run my hands over her sarees, whenever she'd lay them out on the bed, soaking in all that gorgeousness. Oh how I would wish I could wear those stunning beauties in soft fabrics and pretty designs!
All that daydreaming has brought me to the present, old enough to be wearing a saree whenever I want. But here's the catch- where do I wear one? Unless it's a south Indian wedding, more and more brides these days are choosing to ditch the saree and opt for more offbeat options like gowns, or maybe even lehenga sarees. Are you one of those? If not, and if the timeless beauty of a saree appeals to you on an emotional level like it does to me (Hi-5 sister!), then this article is all the inspiration you will need to take out those stunning sarees that your mom and grandmothers own and get them styled and ready to be worn at of your functions!
