  1. A nice compilation. Not all Tamil brides wear madisar, it is the Tamil Brahmin brides who wear madisar..whereas the other non brahmin brides wear Kaanjeevaram silk sarees.

  2. Each bride looks so gorgeous, but I am biased towards the way a punjabi bride gets all decked up, especially obsessed with her chooda and kalire. But, I love Malayalee brides a lot too. They look so simple and elegant, with those gold jewellery. Lovely post. 🙂

  3. Why did not upload assamese bride?
    They are also beautiful. They wear world famous paat n muga silk cloth Which is very rare n world famous.
