Kerala Wedding Dress: A Blend of Tradition and Modern Elegance

When it comes to Indian weddings, few can match the sheer elegance and cultural richness of a traditional Kerala wedding. At the heart of these celebrations lies the exquisite Kerala wedding dress, a symbol of the state's heritage and a testament to its evolving fashion sensibilities. Let's dive into the world of Kerala wedding attire, exploring both time-honored traditions and contemporary trends.

Muhurtham rituals of Malayali weddings in our Kerala Kasavu enchants one and all. In earlier days,the groom used to wear white cotton dhoti with a gold border called kasavu mundu and an angavastra called Veshti... The bride decked up in gold ornaments wear KASAVU Mundum Neriyathum ( set mundu) paired with a plain off white Kasavu blouse. The touch of gold on the borders and the purity of that cotton kodi added traditional elegance and charm.Though the Mundum Neriyathum paved the way to Kerala Kasavu sarees and later on to Kasavu lehenga ,the love for that pristine kasavu still remains the same. In today's weddings, the bride and the groom wear Kerala kasavu ensembles customised as per their preferences from the multitude of choices.

Bridal Mundum Neriyathum ( set mundu)

The optimal choice for a traditional Malayali bride is 'Mundum Neriyathum'.

Bridal Kasavu saree

Kasavu sarees and brocade blouses are a match made out of the world.. Embroidered with exquisite beads and sequins the elegant kerala kasavu saree is paired with the divine shades of red and green. The sheen touch of gold and the crystal sprinkle on the embroidery gives a traditional elegance. Ekatva's bridal wears are marked with highly skilled craftsmanship and artisanal excellence.

Bridal Kasavu lehengas

The latest Indian bridal davanis are very innovative in their appeal while being traditional in their aesthetic.

The universal bridal lehengas, which were traditionally always red or maroon and heavily embroidered, have changed to extremely traditional ivory white or pearl white kasavu fabrics with fine and intricate embellishments. Though this davani creates a monotonous look, exquisite zardosi / Maggam embroidery with heritage designs makes it a mesmerising wedding attire.

Muhurtham wear for Men

Men prefer customised Kurtas ornamented with mural paintings or exquisite zardozi embroidery paired with Kasavu mundu. We customise wedding kurtas with traditional block prints or artisanal hand painting to match the overall theme or color scheme of the wedding. Grooms may opt for shirts that coordinate with the bride's attire or the wedding decor.

Overall, customised Muhurtam wears adds a traditional and artisanal touch to men's wedding shirts, making them not only stylish but also culturally significant for the occasion. It allows grooms to showcase their appreciation for traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage during their wedding celebrations.

Through our wedding collection we have blended the heritage motifs, jewelled palettes and contemporary designs in fine zari, off-white kasavu and lush silk fabrics and enhanced with meticulous embroidery like aari, zardosi and crystals.

We customise bridal wear as per the choices of today's independent women who are flying colours without losing out on the soul of traditions.
