The Beauty of Being a Kerala Bride and the Wedding Outfits

India is a very vibrant and culturally rich country and the diversity is visible everywhere we go. If you want to see the different cultures, traditions and customs of different states and religions then the best way to do that is by witnessing the typical weddings of different states.

A North Indian wedding is very different from a South Indian wedding. But even if we go into a little more detail, then we will understand that even all North Indian weddings are not the same. A Kashmiri wedding is different from a Punjabi or a Rajasthani wedding. Same is the case with South Indian weddings too. Telugu weddings are different from Malayali and Tamil weddings. You get the idea right?

Well, talking about South Indian weddings, we seem to be fixated on Malayali weddings for some reason. Malayali weddings are the weddings of Kerala. What is extremely special about these weddings is the rich cultures and customs that they follow. And oh, not to forget how gorgeous Kerala brides are. They have a very distinct sense of style and we must agree, they look amazing. A Kerala bride usually wears a white saree with a gold border or a red silk saree for her wedding ceremony.

But just like all other millennial brides, even brides from Kerala have evolved with time. Now, while they follow traditions when it comes to dressing up for their big day, they also don’t shy away from experimenting every now and then. If you are going to be a Kerala bride soon, then you must take cues from these real brides who mixed tradition with their own unique fashion sense and nailed their wedding look like a boss.

But this Kerala bride just brought out another dimension of sorts when it comes to the classic red and white combo.
