Bride-To Be's Sangeet Collection: Wedding Spcl

Indian weddings are laden with many fun-filled rituals and customs. The most dynamic among these ceremonies is the wedding sangeet. This event is usually alive with chirpy laughter of the bride-to-be's cousins, sisters and friends. As the name suggests, the wedding sangeet is about singing and dancing. All the bridesmaids are expected to put up a song and dance to entertain the bride's and groom's family.

The bride too is made to dance in the sangeet and thus, her bridal clothes need to be picked with care. Sarees are usually not worn for this ceremony because it makes dancing difficult. The bridal clothes for the wedding sangeet must not be so elaborate that makes it difficult for the bride to dance. They also should not be so common, that the bride cannot be distinguished among the crowd of young women.

The Indian bride has to be at once demure and also brightly dressed. That is why the colour you choose to wear on the wedding sangeet also speaks volumes. Yellow is reserved for the Haldi ceremony and most brides wear red on the wedding day; so these two colours should be used sparingly for the sangeet. Moreover, black is forbidden for the Indian bride, so it should be totally excluded from the bridal trousseau.

Keeping all these specifications in mind, here are some of the best designs that the bride-to-be can wear for her wedding sangeet.
