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.
