5 Must Check Dressing Codes of Bride and Grooms on Wedding

An Indian wedding is not a one day show. It consists of several other ceremonies like; mehendi, sangeet, haldi, etc. Therefore, at such situations where there are so much of arrangements made, dressing uniquely is a must. Different regions of India have their way of dressing in the marriage ceremony. In the west, south and eastern India, people still adhere to the traditional dresses like dhoti, mundu, and lungi.
