I love that they started the India version. The cultural differences always make for more entertaining episodes when we get to see different kinds of gowns. I really love that with these ones ALL the dresses are always different colors. It makes it so different(for me, anyways, considering I'm used to the typical white dress tradition being American). I'm all for it.

[@brandoniswhoiam]

I’ve said this before, and it’s pretty easy to look up: white dresses are only used for funerals. If you wear them at a wedding, it’s like a bad luck charm… which implies that the marriage is already dead. Edit: not completely true.

I do love seeing their colors and hearing their accents (my favorite!) but the saree on the hanger is just like being at a fabric store, just hanging there flat. 😁

[@saikulkarni9359]

It makes me very happy that the show is not sticking to only the traditional red-lehenga-wearing brides to showcase what an Indian bride is. India has so many diverse cultures that a lot of us don't even wear a lehenga; rather indulge in different and gorgeous types of sarees for the wedding, just like in this episode!!!

[@candacebex4370]

I am American so of course I have no knowledge, but I WAS under the impression that red was the most bridal color. Thanks for your comment and for teaching us.

[@shrutiK12312]

I loved how she chose not too typical traditional but it is still a traditional saree. Loved it. She looked beautiful in all. the first saree was something you would wear to someone else's wedding.

[@chilupuriharshitha7261]

That was what I was thinking!

[@purpleleaves]

In Indian version it's so good to see not only lehengas but also other outfits, some simple, elegant too because sometimes Indian brides outfits are misunderstood as overheavy lehengas

[@maryroberts9233]

The third rose gold was stunning. The bride looked so glamorous in the gold dress with the jewelry. Lovely sari. Best wishes for their wedding and a happy future.

[@vmurt]

yeah but i see what they mean by the rose gold being too traditional. it was too traditional for my taste too. too typical of what a tamil bride wears. she wanted something more unconventional.

[@RKusmie64]

I'm really enjoying this version! She's stunning anyway, and the gold sari just enhanced her beauty. I think she really was true in saying that it suited her personality more than the others. All the outfits were gorgeous and I really love seeing them!

I so love that there is an Indian version of this show! Idk much about their wedding traditions and styles but have seen a few from celebrity weddings in India and the brides' wardrobes just knocked me out with the gorgeous clothes they wore and I'm excited to learn how regular brides there dress for their weddings.

[@hayleyemma7953]

That gold saree was just gorgeous! Especially the way it was pinned and draped. Gave me such elegant vibes

[@avantikamishra1798]

I really love that they've introduced this version of the show because honestly, India deserved to have its very own version. Our version is a LOT more different than the existing versions and we would relate to this one more ❤️❤️ Honestly as being born and brought up entirely in India, I personally would not enjoy this exact kind of experience because I'd ask for a lot more options than they show here. I'd like to choose some outfit myself rather than they already having a panel of outfits selected for me. I'd like a broader spectrum than they're offering here. And tbh that's how mostly Indians shop. This is just a bit more boujee version because I feel somewhere they want to keep the pattern of the show intact so it's hiding the real Indian essence somewhere.. Still enjoying this version, please bring more episodes.

[@jerichomarkacebuche2137]

I love how different this is than the usual white wedding gowns. This is culturally amazing!

To give you some perspective that look wasn't really bridal it was more of something a wedding guest would wear. Also speaking of this episode, I understand that south indian weddings are different from north Indian ones but as an Indian I didn't really 'feel' anything bridal about all these outfits. In north indian weddings even distant relatives would go grander on their outfits.

[@jojo-dv3uy]

she is looking like some random girl at wedding not the bride

[@Rocky-ue7gj]

@@Anon-lg5rj here in South India, brides' dress mostly made up of silk which will be expensive with different embroidery works at the border. But south indian wedding dress is incomplete without jewels and a properly stitched blouse. Here her blouse is very simple and she didn't wear any ornaments. I am sure she must have worn a different blouse with artwork and tons of jewelerys during her wedding.

Depends on which part of india you're talking about. If you do some research you would find that each of the 29 states in india has very different cultures and they have different traditional wedding outfits. While bold red and bright colours are a thing in northern India, in south and north east india people go for very calming colours like gold, silver.

The saree would have worked if the blouse would had more work like looked heavy because saree doesn't has much work like embroidery and mirror work so blouse should have been heavy.
