With so many types of Banarasi sarees you can wear, we're sure you'll be able to pull off this outfit for every ceremony with ease! Here are some examples.
Banarasi silk sarees are one of India’s many treasures when it comes to ethnic wear. Like its Southern cousin, the Kanjeevaram silk sarees, this garment is renowned for the high-quality silk fabric that is used to create it. While you may find different types of Banarasi sarees, you will also find certain similarities in design and styles that tie these garments together.
Apt for both, brides and guests, different types of Banarasi sarees dominate the wedding circuit, and you will definitely spot a few at every event that you attend! Not sure if this outfit is right for light events? Here is a rainbow list of the types of Banarasi sarees that you can wear to different wedding occasions:

Nothing’s cooler than a pre-wedding shoot that shows a journey, and this one seems to show it in a literal sense! We see the bride decked up in a violet saree, holding a bouquet of flowers and strutting to her wedding venue! When wearing such types of Banarasi sarees, you can always accessorise with a kamarband like the one she has worn to accentuate the waist!
2. Indigo for Sangeet
While there are different types of Banarasi sarees available, one way to tell them apart from Kanjeevaram sarees is that the print or designs on the fabric are made with either brocade or zari work. This silk saree is the perfect example of how the fabric is also slightly less stiff when compared to a Kanjeevaram saree.
3. Happy Mehndi blues

A Mehndi ceremony is a joyful one that takes place during the day. Make sure that the colours you sport on this day also exude happiness. Pick pastel shades and light tones to achieve this effect! This beautiful light blue Banarasi saree with butti patterns is a lovely option for the Mehndi.
4. Bright parakeet greens

Another super happy colour, this parrot green saree would make you feel totally at home at a Mehndi ceremony. As this is still silk at the end of the day, the outfit can be quite dressy, which is why we would not recommend the same for the Chooda or any smaller pujas. Silks are meant for big events, and this bright hue is perfect for the day!
5. Super bright yellows for Haldi
