Sarees for the Bengali Bride’s Winter Wedding Look
The Bengali bride’s trousseau is a treasure chest of culture, tradition, and artistry. And at its heart lies the quintessential garment, the saree!
More than just fabric, each drape tells a story. Preparing this collection is a labour of love, ensuring you have the perfect ensemble for each ritual during the winter wedding season. From stunning Benarasi sarees to handloom Jamdani sarees—each weave has a place in the many rituals.
At Katha: A Tale of Weaves, we have compiled a list of must-have sarees that will complete your journey into married life. Let’s begin!
Curating the Wedding Saree Collection for the Bengali Bride
Engagement/Pakaa Dekha
Previously, pakaa dekha was enough to be considered an engagement. But many couples today want a proper celebration. Now, this ritual is mostly held a year before the main ceremony, but that’s not written in stone.
When you buy a silk saree online, we suggest our resplendent Rakta Abir Matka Silk Jamdani Saree. After all, red is considered sacred, so why not start your new chapter with it?
Mehendi
A rather new addition to a Bengali wedding, but it’s an important one nonetheless. Attended mostly by women, it becomes a function for older ones bestowing the bride with blessings and advice, and for the younger ones to adorn their hands with intricate henna designs.
For the bride, you are the centre of attention, so the Mayuri Tangail Handloom Cotton Saree – Peacock Blue Elegance is for you. The peacock blue shade is the pop of colour you need for winter wedding fashion! Also, don’t forget to provide your guests with a dress code.
Aiburobhaat
The “last” meal a bride has at her home is another excuse to have fun with her friends and family, surrounded by gifts and all her favourite food. Since this day is a lot more relaxed than most, you can dial back on the glam and choose something intricately delicate. Our Golapi Mon Pakhi Cotton Jamdani Saree is an excellent Jamdani handloom saree, especially paired with all the gifted jewellery you must wear! Pair this saree with the stunning Teal Trishna Cotton Jamdani Blouse, featuring a plunged V-neck, lace details, and lime accents. The contrasting colours will add a striking touch to your overall ensemble.
Dadhimangal
This is the high-calorie mishmash of curd, rice flakes, and sweets that both the bride and groom eat early in the morning.
Since this takes place before dawn breaks, you don’t want to be too dressed up—you probably wouldn’t have the energy or enthusiasm for it. That’s why our Ashalata Lal Par Jamdani Saree is the best choice. Also, the next ritual begins with the shanka and pola; this saree makes for a meaningful choice. Don’t forget to grab this auspicious saree at the best online saree shop.
Gaye Holud
Nothing suits this ritual better than our Holud Lal Kalka Jamdani Saree! The best part? Even if the turmeric paste stains the saree, you don’t need to worry about it. Style this vibrant yellow saree with Gahana Laal Cotton Jamdani Blouse or Victorian Red Lace Blouse for a match made in heaven!
Boubhaat/Bhaat Kapod
When your to-be in-laws start shopping for your ensemble for the final ceremony, make sure they know about our Golapi Padma Mahapaar Cotton Handloom Jamdani Saree. While the evening function features a Banarasi or a Kanjeevaram, the morning rituals at home deserve a vibrant but comfortable saree!
