On-Point Ghagra Saree Styles

Here’s our list of 12 Ghagra saree styles in vibrant colours and detailing to quirk up your wedding day look.

1. Bridal style Ghagra saree

While the major highlight of this Sindoor red Ghagra saree is the elaborate Zari work, the bridal blouse is equally attractive with intricate work on the sleeves. The blouse design for such a saree has to be simple, as the focus should be more towards the heavy work on the saree and not the blouse.

Styling the look:

Add matching jewellery, a classic hairstyle (possibly an updo) with a Gajra or natural flowers to score for your overall Ghagra saree look.

2. Velvet border Ghagra saree

This is another beautiful Ghagra saree in contrasting shades. While the printed saree has a heavy border in velvet, its pallu in soft pink is lightweight. The bride has opted to complete her wedding look with a bridal dupatta that matches with the saree pallu.

The saree blouse has elaborate work in gold threads, and the flair of the saree has floral motifs which make it stand apart.

Styling the look:

Pair it with an elegant choker or a matching necklace and a maang tikka to compliment your wedding day look.

3. Pink Ghagra saree with Choli style blouse

The major highlight of this Ghagra saree is its blouse design which is absolutely looking like a choli. This particular saree is simple with minimum detail work, which makes it perfect for your pre-bridal functions.

The bride-to-be has cleverly accessorised her look with a necklace, earrings, Kangan, Nath design and a stylish Rajasthani Borla.

How to style it:

If you wish to carry this style, make sure instead of a crop blouse you go in for a mid-length choli.

4. Heavily embellished Ghagra saree

As mentioned earlier, the real beauty of a Ghagra saree lies in its blouse design. While the blouse is kept simple with short sleeves and regular neck design; the intricate work on the saree dramatically enhances the beauty of this outfit.

Styling the look:

Accessorise it with matching Kundan or Polki jewellery, a statement Nath, an elaborate Maang Tikka and a classic hair updo to grab everyone’s attention.

Buying Ghagra Saree Tips:

A. Get the length right:

For draping a Ghagra saree style, a normal 6-yard saree should be ideal, however, depending on your body type and the kind of flair and finish you want, you may even go for a 9-yard saree.

B. Examine the details:

What differentiates a normal saree from a Ghagra saree is the choice of blouse. So, make sure to invest in a saree that comes with a rich blouse or some intricate embellishments, embroidery, stonework or cutwork, etc. This will add a lot of oomph to your bridal wear.

C. Bling up your blouse design:

Instead of a simple blouse design, for your Ghagra saree choose one of the trending blouse designs; from a princess cut and boat neck to may be a bare neck blouse. And to add a little drama, you may even add matching Latkans or tassels to your blouse.

D. Evoke a contrasting appeal:

More often, for a Ghagra style choose a saree that flaunts a pallu in contrast colour, thereby making the Ghagra saree look attractive. 

A Ghagra Saree is a timeless outfit every bride-to-be must invest in. From sifting between different colour palettes to experimenting with the draping styles - the options are endless. Which one is it going to be for you?
