Why Choose a Red Saree?

Red is not just a color; it symbolizes love, energy, and prosperity. A red saree is especially fitting for weddings, as it complements the celebratory atmosphere. Whether you’re attending as a guest or part of the bridal party, a red saree with gold embellishments, like the one worn by Dushara Vijayan in the images above, will ensure you look effortlessly regal.

Styling the Red Saree

    1. Fabric and Embroidery: When choosing a red saree, consider one with golden embroidery. The intricate detailing adds a rich, opulent touch, making it suitable for grand occasions. Silk or satin fabrics often enhance the regal vibe.
    2. Accessories: Pair your saree with statement earrings and minimal bangles or rings, as seen in the images. Gold-toned accessories blend perfectly with the saree’s warm hues, elevating your overall look.
    3. Draping Style: The way you drape the saree can make a huge difference. Opt for a classic drape that showcases the gold embroidery on the pallu (the draped section). This enhances the saree’s elegance and gives you a polished, traditional look.

Makeup Tips for a Red Saree

  1. Bold Eyes: Since red is a powerful color, balancing it with bold, defined eyes is essential. A black or brown smokey eye with winged eyeliner creates a captivating look without overpowering the saree.
  2. Luminous Skin: Glowing, dewy skin complements the vibrancy of a red saree. A highlighter on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose—will give you a radiant, fresh look.
  3. Neutral Lips: A red saree can dominate your look, so pair it with a neutral or soft pink lipstick. This ensures the saree stands out while your makeup remains balanced and subtle.

Hairstyle Ideas

For a red saree look, a classic hairstyle is always a win. Soft curls, as seen in the images, add a touch of grace and movement. If you want to go the traditional route, a neat low bun adorned with flowers can also be a beautiful option for weddings.

Final Thoughts

Wearing a red saree to a wedding or special event not only makes a statement but also lets you embrace tradition with style. Paired with glowing makeup, gold accessories, and soft curls, you’re ready to turn heads and make an unforgettable impression.

When East meets West – Styling saree in fusion way

Posted on by Sareeing Official

Who says saree can be only be worn in traditional way, saree is a six yard of pure elegance that can be worn in hundreds of ways. Sometimes in traditional way sometimes in fusion. A few tips when you style saree in fusion way. Try to pick minimal accessories so that the style is not over powered by other things. When you decide to style saree in fusion style pick light weight sarees (since they are much easier to drape in many ways and they don’t make you look bulky).

When you are styling saree in fusion try to pick single colored sarees, if you pick too busy saree it will probably won’t enhance the style that much, if at all you wanna try the bold prints for fusion pick very light colored or neutral colors blouses.
Last but not the least Carry your saree with your own attitude. Saree can make any Naari look like a million bucks as long as you wear it with confidence.

Here is a Self done phulkari saree worn with brocade corset blouse with a fascinator and gloves to give it western twist. I picked this look for an yearly tradition “Saree Parade” that happens right here in California. This year it was even more special because we got on stage after Two years of Covid.
