North Indian, South Indian, the divisions are sort of blurring these days a little, with both brides really getting inspired by one another- and with all the '2 States' weddings we are having these days, there are a lot of fusion brides we are spotting who are really taking things to the next level. So if a contemporary South Indian bride is what you desire to be, then take a few pointers from our list below!
Pick a kanjivaram with a cool motif

You could also add a pop of uniqueness to your saree with your jewellery
Notice how this bride's saree has a pop of maroon via jewellery to really make it unique? Yep, we love how it adds to the charm.
Pick new age jewellery- diamonds with emeralds or rubies...
