Just like the traditional lehengas, it comes with a top, which may be short or long, and a full skirt which is usually put on top of a separate skirt that you buy separately and you will get a third piece which you can easily put over your shoulders just like a sari. 

Since the third piece is a separate piece of cloth, just like a dupatta, you have more options on how to wear it. Some brides prefer to wear it just like the traditional saris, and some prefer to wear it in more fashionable ways. It all depends on your preference and imagination, but there are certainly some great and popular ways to wear it!. Many brides use the dupatta to put the veil, but that is not mandatory in every case and it may depend on the religious faiths too.

Many of the dresses displayed here doesn't come stitched (some of them come as dress materials which you have to stitch) so you have to check the product descriptions of each dress to see if they will customize it and stitch it for you, as you make the order.

Red dominates the Indian bridal wears, be it sari or lehenga. If you search about the Indian wedding dresses, the first thing you notice will be the popularity of the red color in bridal wears. It is not a must, but it is preferred by most. According to the Hindu beliefs, red color symbolizes happiness and good luck in marriage and it is also the color of strength. The other similar shades that are popular include orange, pink, purple and violet. It is actually a choice of the bride and it is completely a personal choice, so you can also find beautiful blue and green dresses as well. You can make it such a colorful thing, sky is the limit when it comes to colors.

You can also see so many brides in pure white or ivory colour dresses, but it is mostly seen in the traditional Christian weddings. Even in such marriages, the bride mostly changes her dress to a bright coloured sari, mostly red, gifted by the groom right after the wedding ceremony. While the Christian brides usually wears a white or ivory coloured sari or gown for the marriage ceremony, the bridesmaid and those very close to the bride usually wear colourful lehengas or lehenga style saris.  In most of the South Indian weddings, there are two wedding dresses for the bride. One chosen by the bride and one gifted by the groom.

 In both North Indian weddings and South Indian weddings of both Hindus and Muslims, you can mostly see the brides dressed in red or similar shades like bright orange, maroon or pink along with other bright colours or light colours of their choice and golden coloured borders and golden coloured embroidery works. The wedding dress is usually full of golden coloured or silver coloured hand woven embroideries and also stone works and mirror beads. In North India, it is very common for Hindu and Muslim brides to use lehengas and lehenga style saris. In South India,  bright coloured silk saris with golden embroideries are mostly chosen for the marriage ceremony, but the brides use lehenga and lehenga style saris for engagements and wedding receptions.

An interesting fact about white colored wedding dresses in India is that white or off white colored sari with golden colored border is the traditional sari of Kerala, which is the Southernmost state in India. Years back, the brides used to wear this traditional white colored sari for their weddings. Today, even the brides from Kerala wear bright colored silk saris for their weddings, and right after the wedding ceremony they change to the traditional Kerala sari which is white or ivory colored paired with golden embroidery.

This is a actually a fantastic innovation. The dress is actually a lehenga style sari with full skirt and top, but the supposed third piece is already stitched into the skirt. So if you prefer to wear the dupatta just like you drape the sari and if you want to do it really quick, this is the product for you. The only downside is that you may not be able to wear the dupatta in some of the styles that you may like.

When it comes to the way people dress in India, regional preferences are more prominent than the religion based preferences. For example, you can see many common traits in the way people dress in South India regardless of their religion. Similarly, many common traits are observed in the way of dressing among people in North India regardless of their religion. Still, among the people living in the same regions, you can see many differences in the way of dressing based on their religion. In the case of bridal wears, North Indians go for the lehenga or lehenga type saris for their marriage ceremonies and also the engagements and wedding receptions. In South India, traditional saris are more commonly chosen for the marriage ceremony, while they love to wear lehengas and lehenga style saris for engagements and wedding receptions. After all India is a place known for its diversities!

Some of the lehenga style saris displayed in this article come stitched, but some of them are not stitched and you may have to request for a customized stitching based on your requirements.
