Bridal Outfit Information

FEMALE

Punjabi female bridal outfits are often very heavy with excessive embroidery and jewellery. More often than not, dark colours, red in particular, are worn opposed to lighter colours that many other regions go for to symbolize happiness and a marital life. Sikh Punjabi brides will always be wearing traditional white and red bridal bangles with their wedding outfits and also, after the wedding for about a month. This is to represent that she is now married and has a husband. Unlike, other Indian wedding outfits, Punabi bridal outfits are a heavy lengha which all stems from the typical Indian outfits that all Indians wear. Nowadays, the colour pink seems to be very popular among the brides and bridegrooms!

MALE

Bridegrooms are required to wear a typical Indian sherwani on their wedding day with a scarf around their neck that matches the outfit of the bride. Sikh Punjabi bridegrooms are also required to wear a turban on the special day whether they wear it regularly or not to show respect to their religion. They also carry a sword in their hands which has become a tradition from when the bridegroom would bring the bride home in a doli, and due to the long journey, he would have to carry a sword with him to protect his wife from thieves that would want to steal the jewellery. The sword is now symbolic of the very same - a promise to protect the bride. It is carried in the bridegroom's hand throughout the entire wedding ceremony. More often than not, the groom also has a 'sehra' connected to the top of the turban that hides his face while on the way to the gurudwara where it is taken off when he is seated next to the bride.

I have included general information about each attire, why it is the way it is.. as well..

Picture (example)

You can just google 'Punjabi wedding' for accurate pictures that are of an actual Punjabi wedding since most Indian outfits look very alike.

I could just get my parents wedding pics since we are Punjabi as well...but that would just be weird!

^HAHA. It would be weird.. and not a good idea to be sharing your parents wedding pictures online.. =/ Besides, they probably have old bridal outfits on in the pictures like mine do.. XD We're going for the latest fashion in bridal outfits.. and other attire aren't we? Fashion show and all? Cause that's how I worded the bridal outfit information on the previous page as well..
