Reception Outfits For New Bride

Wedding affairs are too large in a Hindu marriage. It all starts from the day of engagement and continues till the reception. Reception is a function where the friends and relatives turn up to greet the newly wed couples. In many Hindu weddings, the wedding is kept as a private affair.
