20 Gorgeous Indian Bride Looks Captured

Indian weddings are full of colour and vibrance, and there’s nothing more beautiful than a happy bride on her wedding day. Indian brides are often adorned in traditional attire (commonly the saree, but sometimes a lengha is worn as well), flowers in her hair, lots of gold and diamond jewellery, and mehendi (henna) on their arms and legs. It typically takes at least 3 hours for a bride to get ready on her wedding day! Here are some beautiful photos of brides (both Indian and non-Indian) that are wonderfully captured.

16. Indian brides normally do their hair in one of two ways – the traditional jadai (braid) or an updo/bun with flowers.

Wearing bangles (also known as choora) is also an important tradition for Indian brides, a symbol of a married woman, meant to signify good fortune and prosperity. The colours and materials of the bangles differs from community to community.

18. Mehendi, made from the henna plant, is worn by almost all Indian brides, typically applied during a separate ceremony a few days before the wedding.

The historical significance behind this ritual actually has its basis in health. As a medicinal herb, it is believed that henna “cools” the body down and relieves the bride of stress, keeping her calm and less prone to illness on her wedding day.

20. It is called ‘mangala sutra’ to North Indians and ‘thali’ to South Indians, but this ritual of the groom tying a gold necklace around the bride’s neck (assisted by the bridesmaids) is a staple and important moment in all Indian ceremonies.
