Why is a South Indian Wedding Incomplete without a Kanjeevaram Saree?

BY The WMG Bride | 09 Sep, 2017 | 660 views | 2 min read

The traditional Kanjeevaram sarees are a striking epitome of the South Indian culture, known for their graceful look, gorgeous colors and lovely designs/embroidery, which are mainly inspired by South Indian-based temples. They are made of thick fabric and deep colors mixed with hints of gold and are weaved from pure silk. This saree is preferred for festive occasions and celebrations.


The Indian wedding time is all about flaunting bright colors, wearing an extra dash of glitter and looking glamorous. Kanjeevaram or Kanchipuram (name of the place it evolved from) is a silk saree whose famous weave goes back to 400 years ago. It was made up using excellent weaving skills that bore images of scriptures and effigies found on the temples around the village. You can count on Kanjeevaram or Kanchipuram silk sarees to be the perfect outfit choice when you are looking for a classy ethnic option. You can check out these modern ways to style your Kanjeevaram Saree.
