Do you have a wedding to attend real soon? Are you not in the mood to wear a Kanjeevaram saree for it as you feel it is getting quite repetitive? If your answers for both the above questions is a yes then you should try out a Banarasi saree for the upcoming wedding. Trust us you would be a hit!
A Banarasi is as elegant as a Kanjeevaram and has huge history too. Its unique vintage charm, its beautiful colors and interesting weave makes it a favorite among saree lovers.
A Banarasi saree is a saree made in Varanasi, a city which is also called Benares or Banaras. The sarees are known for their gold and silver brocade or zari, fine silk and opulent embroidery. The sarees are made of finely woven silk and are decorated with intricate design and are relatively heavy.
As far as colors of a Banarasi saree go they look amazing in jewel tones of Red, green and pink which also makes it a bridal favorite among the brides of the East.
If you feel wearing a Banarasi saree would be too heavy try an opulent Banarasi lehenga for a change. They look absolutely beautiful and they can be created with various cuts. Team it up with a blouse made of the same fabric and go for a same color or also a contrast dupatta to complete the outfit. Our celebs have done this in style!!
Now a days with fusion lehengas ringing the trend. Try out a Banarasi lehenga skirt with a block color crop top in fabrics like raw silk to maintain texture and sheen. You will rock it. Options like adding a layer of tulle over the heavy Banarasi fabric is also an option.
You can also opt for a Banarsai dupaata with a chudidhar set or an Anarkali. Make the outfit get a touch of vintage and make it quite grand. Try these for the pre wedding festivities or for any function that you need to dress a little simple.
Apt jewelry would be antique gold, kundan or even pearls. Wear heavy chaandbalis too and add a gold clutch and shoes to complete the royal look.
Hope this Banarasi trail leaves you with ideas of how you can ace this for the next wedding!!
