Wedding dress in India includes heavy zari saris and lehengas. These saris and lehengas are either embroidered with glittering gold or silver metal thread or woven with them. Extensive use of decorative tiny pearls and glass beads make these apparels heavy and special too.
Traditionally in Indian ceremonies very bright colours are used. And they are made even brighter by the use of all shiny decorations. These saris are produced mainly in Benaras. An Indian bride's trousseau is incomplete without a traditional heavy sari from Benaras. In the changing fashion trend the colours have taken pastel and light shades. However, the embroidery and weaving in gold and silver still exists with much prominence. To these metal threads a new glitter of bronze is added in the last few years. The designs woven or embroidered include the floral and leaves motifs primarily. The dancing figures, auspicious symbols and series pictures of epics are also quite popular in designs on this apparel. The Indian sari has found it's way not only in India, but also in similar ceremonies of the west.
