I just realized I have a very rare picture!
Real South Indian Bride and Real North Indian Bride Wedding dresses together.
My friend wore her wedding Saree on my wedding!
So to those who keep wondering why we North Indians call a South Indian bride simple and why the North Indian Bride is like tubelight for south Indians this is probably the best example!
But the saree she's wearing is not a traditional south Indian oneone... looks like a designer saree which women wear both in the south as well in the north, maybe more so in the north.
ReplyDeleteTrue its not how we imagine a typical south indian kanjeevaram bride, but we must also remember how vast south India is. The bride is a South Indian Bride , the contrast here is to show the difference of simplicity of a south Indian bride in contrast with the on-the-face bling of a north Indian bride
DeleteMost south indian brides also wear in-the-face bling during their weddings. The saree on the south indian bride in this photograph is not typical wedding material from south india and is not even conventional dressing. Simple googling will throw images of what a south Indian bride really looks like and you will realise there is no shortage of bling in south indian bridal dressing. And yes, south india is very vast, and cannot be represented by a single bride, more so by one who seems to have decided to go mild on the bling.
DeleteI think "how much of bling" is a very personal taste and cannot be used to brand a whole region/culture. I am sure there are "simple" north indian brides too.
Lovely saree. <3
ReplyDeleteI'm South Indian and girl, that is not what most South Indians wear. We go hard out on our bling. The amount of necklaces I had to wear for my wedding was not a walk in the park hehehe. But yes, you will find simple North AND South Indian wedding brides.
