The Latest in Wedding Fashion – Choli and Saree Blouse Styles


With Wedding season in full swing it’s time to pull out your traditional party wear or better still shop for the seasons latest styles. With sarees and lehengas being the preferred attire for most women at Indian weddings I thought I’d share the seasons latest Choli/sari blouse designs.

The Indian choli is a short midriff-baring top worn with either sari or lehenga alos called a blouse. It can be quite a versatile garment, which can be adapted to a variety of styles. Since usually the front of the blouse is covered using a dupatta or in the case of a saree the Pallu. So essentially Choli’s have elaborate backs which can also be quite revealing and sexy.

The Spider Web Back: These intricate strips of fabric mimic the weave of a spider’s web with a little added bejewelled center. The neck is best kept as a halter.

Tie-up: As the name suggests, this back consists of thin strips of matching fabric that are used to fasten the top. This is a traditional Indian style many worn in villages which has recently made a comeback.

Deep tie-up neck line : One thin string on the shoulder to keep it at place with a deep and broad neck.

One Shoulder Style: The broad sweeping off-the-shoulder style works particularly well with saris and can look extremely elegant.

Bead work at its best : Nice sleeve styling done using matching beads and hangings. Lot of detailing is been done on back as well

Peek-a-Boo Back: The one shoulder blouse. This style features a gaping cut out in the back showing just the right amount of back to make it a stunning style.
