No, this is not a saree, it is a Sharara

In case you don’t know,

Sharara is a wide legs pants-fitted till the knee, with a big flare from the knee onwards which looks like full skirt with draw string waist. Sharara is usually worn with a matching long Chunnri and cholis and it is also called sharara cholis which are usually heavily embellished.

Another definition of choli sharara is a kind of loose, trailing pajama worn by women. In short, a sharara is a loose flowing gown divided in between. Like lehenga or ghagra, shararas are worn with choli and dupattas.

I know what you are thinking, the bride should have donned a saree too, and I couldn’t agree with you more.

But I guess, if you are planning a catholic wedding and need to wear white, saree will probably not be your first choice.

The best saree wedding event I have attended was a Srilankan wedding - watching dusky Srilankan women with light blue saree, draped Srilankan strapless blouse style, looked so stunning and visually pleasing.

This has all the attributes of a saree, it is a continuous piece of fabric and it is draped rather than stitched.
