How do I choose the right silk saree for a wedding?

For Indian weddings, Kanjivaram and Banarasi are the most popular choices. Consider the ceremony type: a bold red or maroon Kanjivaram for the main ceremony, and a lighter Banarasi in pastel for the reception.

What is the difference between Kanjivaram and Banarasi silk?

Kanjivaram sarees are woven in Tamil Nadu with pure mulberry silk and real gold zari, known for their durability and contrasting borders. Banarasi sarees from Varanasi feature intricate brocade work with Mughal-inspired motifs.
