Majorly, there are four types of wedding dresses that you can wear in India:

Lehenga Choli

This is a classic choice when it comes to looking for a wedding dress in India. A lehenga is a long skirt that has a lot of volume to it and a choli is a sort of a crop top that you wear along with the lehenga. It is available in various colours and patterns and is varied according to what you want from it. A lehenga choli can be subdued and sober, or it can be amazingly flashy- it all depends on how you wish to keep it and how you prefer your dress to be. In a typical Indian wedding, the bride wears lehenga choli for various occasions. Not only does she wear it in her sangeet, but also on the other days like her engagement ceremony, reception, and during the pheras. The intensity of the pair increases as days go by and as the wedding approaches. Depending on how you want it to be, you can get the latest designer lehenga choli, or opt for an evergreen style and design that has remained a classic for a long time.

Indo-western Gowns 

This is something that is progressively getting popular these days. People want to forego the bulkiness that comes with a lehenga choli because some of them are so heavy that they literally weigh in kilos. It is because of this and the convenience that it brings along that indo-western gown much like Masaba’s are becoming a rage and people are opting more and more for it.

Western Gowns

Not many people, except the ones who have different religions- especially christians prefer to wear the lush white flowing gowns. There are so many types and designs that are available with western gowns that you might be baffled by the huge amount of options you have to choose from.
