Most people believe that the bridal Gharara is a Pakistani dress. Contrary to this popular belief, it is a traditional Lucknowi dress work created by the Muslim women of India. It was an everyday outfit during the 19th and 20th century. A Gharara set has a short length tunic with a dupatta and wide-leg trousers scrunched at the knees (and then they flare out). Did you know that around 12 metres of fabric are used in the trousers of a Gharara?

The outfit became popular in Pakistan around the 1950s. If you are getting married, do not ignore this outfit as most Pakistani Gharara sets have heavy embroidery and embellishments, which make them perfect for you and your wedding ceremonies.

Exude panache in any of these Pakistani Gharara sets and make your groom weak on his knees every time he sees you!

It is time to check them out!

White and ivory are just as much as bridal colours as red and pink. We are going gaga over this ivory Pakistani Gharara with very heavy gold embroidery and embellishments. There is zari work and sequin work on the Kurti as well as the Gharara.

You can also drape your dupatta on your head just like in the image or wrap it around your shoulders.

Style tip: For the ultimate Pakistani bridal look, you can wear a Nath or a Passa.

If you are looking for a Pakistani Gharara for a night event, you should pick out dark colours like this maroon Gharara. Instead of a classic straight Kurti, you can change it up a bit and go for a peplum style tunic. It is smart and contemporary and you can wear it for your Sangeet ceremony.

A Gharara anyways has a big flare, which makes it perfect for the occasion.
