White Wedding Sarees Instead of a Wedding Dress?

When you think of sarees you probably think of a heavy red or green silk garment with heavy embroidery braiding and other adornments, however, did you know that white wedding sarees are now becoming popular? My friend recently married and instead of opting for the more conventional white wedding dress she ordered herself a white wedding saree direct from India. Although it was still quite expensive due to the amount of silk used, the fact she ordered it direct meant it cost a fraction of the price she would have spent on a western wedding dress, and she looked absolutely fantastic in it! I am not sure it would be to everyone’s taste, but, with people increasingly “customising” their weddings I can see them becoming an increasingly popular alternative.
