The Importance of Color in a Bridal Dress

According to the Indian Hindu traditions, the bride wears the color red. Along with the red sari (worn most parts of the country), red lehnga (worn by the Punjabi brides), it is almost necessary to wear red colored ornaments. The glass made bangles, bindi and sindoor (vermillion) are required to be red in color. Hands and feet are adorned with henna designs. Hence, red plays an important part in a traditional Hindu wedding.
