6 chiffon sarees straight out of a Bollywood bridal dream sequence
Cue the hair blower, this is your main character moment!
Bollywood has immortalised chiffon sarees, a delightfully lightweight fabric for wedding wear. From Alia Bhatt’s ombre-hued outfits to Aishwarya Rai’s stunning pastel picks, this demure yet dramatic material has all the makings of a main character ensemble. The soft texture paints a pretty and fluid picture, conducive to that spotlight-worthy Bollywood moment. If that’s your style, here’s a curation of our favourites.
Beige Satin Chiffon Saree Set, Manish Malhotra
When it comes to chiffon, a flowy facade becomes non-negotiable. That’s where this set stands out. While the understated beige lends a subtle yet steady canvas to the sartorial artistry, the sequin border provides just the right amount of glam to the garment. Sure to cooperate on the dance floor and the dinner after, this one’s a classic pick.
Sagara Printed Chiffon Saree, Anita Dongre
These retro-chic sarees embody that scenic season between spring and summer, the spitting image of nature’s bloom. Available in a pastel blue and pink, they’re easy on the eyes and the wearer, with lightweight printed fabric that does the heavy lifting.
Vanya Pre-Draped Saree, Ohaila Khan
Hued in the subtlest tea green, this pre-draped saree lets the blouse do the talking with its spaghetti straps and pearl embellishments. Don’t miss the backless appeal or the decorative border, both befitting additions to the overall ensemble.
Pink Chiffon Saree Set, Anushree Reddy
Part chiffon and part organza, this lemonade pink ruffled saree set comes with embroidered nuance and guaranteed double-takes. Don’t miss the embellished blouse with a tassel dori at the back, and sequin-laden draping, which adds just the right touch of glam.
Dolly J
Hard to outdo yellow in the context of chiffon sarees, especially when it comes with an ombre finish and Chikankari work. This set, for instance, boasts a matching blouse complete with dangling tassels on the border for a finished look. Go ahead, live your Bollywood moment with this quintessential pick!
Sawan Gandhi
This bottle green beauty is composed of utter class and chinnon chiffon, making it extra lightweight and flowy, all things we like in our wedding wear! Embroidered with trims across the saree, it does not shy away from heavy embroidery on the border, either. Pair it with the kashti work blouse, and you’re good to go!
