Bridal Lengha

Traditionally Bridal Lengha are red in color.

The Bridal Lengha is heavily decorated with gold or silver Dhaka-work embroidery

Swarovski crystals or diamantes can be added to the Dhaka-work to create more ellaborate designs.

Many Brides in western countries choose to buy their Bridal Lengha in India where there is far more choice of Lengha at more reasonable prices.

Even so Bridal Lenghas are an expensive aquisition for any bride to be.

Bridal Sari are also red in color, and can also be heavily decorated and embroidered.

In Indian culture red signifies abundance and fertility.

Despite the fact that red bridal wear (lengha and saree) are an old tradition in India, a few brides do opt out of the tradition and go for a modern alternative, particularly within christian families.
