Okay brides to be, let’s be real, wedding planning is chaotic. Amidst all the glam squads, Pinterest boards, and dance rehearsals, one thing that truly defines your bridal personality is your trousseau. And no bridal trunk is complete without a dreamy collection of sarees. Not just for the big day but for post-wedding brunches, receptions, festivals, and let’s not forget those endless family gatherings!

So, let’s talk sarees … six yards of power, poise, and pure desi drama. Here’s our curated list of must have sarees every modern bride needs, brought to you with love from Mantavya Banaras where every thread tells a story.

1. The Iconic Banarasi Saree – Your Heritage Hero

No bridal wardrobe is legit without a Banarasi masterpiece. With intricate zari, Mughal-inspired motifs, and that rich silk drape, it’s not just a saree, it’s an heirloom. Whether you’re wearing it at your wedding, reception, or stashing it for a special puja, a Banarasi saree is eternal.

Styling Tip: Pair it with a contemporary blouse and temple jewellery for a modern-maharani look.

Mantavya Pick: A deep crimson or rani pink katan silk with antique gold zari.

2. The Kanjivaram Queen – South India’s Pride

Even if you’re not from the South, a Kanjivaram adds majestic grace to your wardrobe. With bold colors and contrast borders, these sarees are built to last generations.

Why You Need It: For festivals, receptions, or when you’re visiting the in-laws and want to make a solid first impression.

Vibe Check: Royal, rooted, and regal.

3. The Lightweight Organza – For the Chic Minimalist

Let’s be honest, post-wedding events can be exhausting. That’s when you’ll thank yourself for packing a pastel, handwoven organza saree. It’s light, breezy, and screams effortless elegance.

Perfect For: Daytime lunches, after-wedding getaways, or intimate gatherings.

Mantavya Touch: Soft blush or mint green organza with hand-embroidered borders.

You’ll have a hundred reasons to drape a saree after marriage from housewarming pujas to casual family dinners. A printed silk is your glam-meets-comfort pick.

Why Brides Love It: It’s fun, functional, and can go from AM rituals to PM coffee dates.
