Final Tips for Choosing Your Red Reception Saree

  1. Which red suits you the best: For cooler skin tones, one may go with wine or crimson, while warmer skin tones will glow in bright scarlet or tomato reds.
  2. Fabric consideration: Silk is a classic, but Banarasi or tissue silks can add that extra sheen. Go for fabrics that suit your body type and are a comfort in the weather.
  3. Blouse selection: Elevate your look with contrast blouses, or go for tone-on-tone with heavy embroidery or zari. If your saree is heavy, go for a minimal blouse, and vice versa.
  4. Your Comfort: You’ll be moving around a lot, so pick a saree that feels good on the skin and sits well for hours, without a worry to you.
  5. Plan your jewellery: Antique gold for South silks, kundans for Banarasi, and pearls for lighter silks.
  6.  Make it yours: Add personal touches with heirloom jewellery, embroidered initials on your blouse, or even a dupatta drape.
