Unveiling the glorious culture and traditions of south India, the Tamil Bride exemplifies earthy tones with a tint of gold highlighting her cheeks. Shades of brown decorated her lips, with gorgeous flowers in her hair completing the look. Gold is of prime importance in Tamilian weddings. The bride is adorned with gold ornaments from head to toe. The head ornaments include the maang tikka as well as the two side tikkas. Necklaces are usually a combination of a choker necklace with a variety of other necklaces of varying lengths all the way upto the belly. Pure silk and Kanjivaram sarees are most commonly worn. Here are a few of our favourite Tamil brides.

Planning a Marathi wedding? If you are a Marathi bride or mother of the bride :) and looking for what to wear for the wedding - saree, jewellery etc. you have reached the right place. Here are some pointers of what actual Marathi brides wore on their weddings.
Typically, Marathi brides wear one of the following colors for their bridal saree which is usually a paithani saree - yellow, mango yellow, purple, and green. Some of our Marathi brides here have chosen to be different and wore a blue or red coloured paithani as well. The jewellery is essentially one choker style gold necklace - also called as "Thushi"  in Marathi. with a few other gold necklaces of varied lengths for the heavy decked up look. The next essential thing is the traditional Marathi jhumka earrings and the nath  or nose-ring which is more like a mango shaped jewellery rather than a ring. Also the bajuband  or armlet is a must for any traditional Marathi bride. The bajuband usually has a red coloured semi-precious stone in the middle. The green and gold bangles or toda bangles are also a traditional favourite. Hairstyle is typically a bun. Most brides wear the chandrabindu or the moon shaped bindi. That completes the traditional maharashtrian bride's attire.
