Title: Wedding Saree Fashion 2016 - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: The saree is considered to be the world’s most popular and longest enduring fashion item for women. The word originally came from Sanskrit and means strip of cloth. The cloth is draped around the body in various different ways which tends to be a blouse and then a skirt for the bottom half of the outfit. Because of the popularity of this item of clothing, wedding sarees are a common choice for an Indian bride. Handmade sarees, made from natural fibres tend to be the preferred choice for weddings. These sarees are usually made from cotton or silk which is coloured with natural dyes. Brides wear wedding sarees of all different colours, however these colour choices come from deeply rooted symbolic beliefs. It is a general belief that all brides wear red sarees, however this is not the case and it typically tends to be those brides from north India, Bengal and Brahmins of south India. The colour red is appropriate because it represents marital bliss, as well as fertility. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
