Banarasi saree

A Banarasi saree will be a perfect pick for your mum to wear on your wedding day. Banarasi sarees have the right blend of sheen, and a unique texture and feel. Your mother can go for a bun, a choker necklace, and minimal makeup to finish the look. A bright contrasting blouse will look great with a Banarasi saree. Heavy work sarees like this one, with broad borders, make for a perfect outfit for Indian weddings.

Opt for contrasting hues

A pistachio saree will be a perfect pick for your mother to wear on your wedding day. If your mother is fond of lighter hues, a saree like this one with floral thread embroidered work all over will make her look graceful as ever.

Diamond jewellery or, Kundan earrings with hair chains can be paired to finish the look. Heavy work sarees like this one, with embellished borders, are a classic choice for Indian weddings.

Aubergine & mustard saree

We love how this confident mother of the bride took an aubergine & mustard heavy work saree to a whole new level by pairing it up with classic gold jewellery. Nothing can go OTT in an Indian wedding, so if your mother loves to dress up this heavy work saree will make her look like the queen that she is. 

Gold & grey embellished saree

Ideal for fashion-forward mothers who believe that dark hues are the best bet, this grey and gold saree is an unmissable pick. Black and gold is a great combination anyway, and when it comes to your mother wearing it, what’s better than pairing a heavy work saree like this one with an embroidered blouse and regal jewellery.

Bandhani saree

A Bandhej saree has steadily made its way back to Indian wardrobes. A heavy Bandhej saree paired with gold jewellery will look gorgeous on your mother. A neatly made bun would be a great idea to match up to the understated appeal of this saree.

Brocade saree

A silk saree is an ideal pick for mothers to celebrate your wedding functions in. A classic example of heavy work festive sarees, these not only compliment the whole vibe of the festivities but also look amazingly stylish. A bolder lip colour, a freshly made gajra, and kohl-lined eyes will make your mum take away all the attention.

Silk Saree

Gota Patti work saree

A Gota Patti saree brings exudes classic charm like none other. Take this mother of the bride, for example; We love how she has paired her mirror work design Gotta Patti saree with a matching blouse. The extensive heavy work Gotta Patti only adds to the overall look of the saree. Gold accessories are a great idea to complement this look!

Yellow saree with an embroidered blouse 

A yellow heavy work saree can be worn by the mother of the bride or groom on the wedding day. As much as yellow is a less preferred choice unless it is a day wedding, a raw silk saree with silver embellishments like the one in this picture can make for a great outfit. A heavy blouse will only enhance her look.
