How to Choose the Perfect Kanjeevaram Saree for Your Big Day

The Kanjeevaram saree is more than just an attire for a Kerala bride; it's a timeless piece of art. Choosing the right one can be overwhelming, but we're here to help.

Understanding the Zari

The sheen of a Kanjeevaram comes from its 'zari', the silk thread twisted with a silver wire and then gilded with gold. A genuine Kanjeevaram will have a rich, yet subtle lustre.

Motifs and Their Meanings

The motifs woven into the saree often draw inspiration from temple architecture and nature.

• Annapakshi (Swan): Symbolizes purity and eternal love.
• Yali (Mythical Creature): Represents power and valor.
• Rudraksham (Sacred Beads): A nod to spirituality.

Color Combinations

Kanjeevarams are famous for their vibrant, contrasting colors. Think deep reds with parrot green, or royal blue with magenta. Choose a color that complements your skin tone and personality.
