20 Best Paithani Sarees For Wedding That Will Stun You

I’m always lazing around in a casual kurta or something basic, not to forget a messy bun. But, weddings invariably get me excited. Do you feel a sense of belonging here? You are not alone. Again, I am also the same person who sometimes loves flashing a saree around. Besides, ornating can be a lot of fun too. From choosing the designs and blouses to accessorizing and putting them all together, sporting the traditional Indian wear can be quite an enjoyable experience for those who love to deck up.
So, while at it, I decided to write about one of the most profound Indian designs that I adore—Paithani. A luxurious, gracious and opulent design that is known for its kaleidoscope effect, with square oblique borders and, distinct colors across the length and breadth of the saree.

Everything about this saree is rich and screams grandeur. The muted self-design that subtly elevates the golden motifs and this majestic zari bordered saree will be a value addition to a bride’s trousseau or for just about anyone really. The pallu design is what makes this saree stand out. The cosmic round zari design with a mix of parrot, algae green and a tinge of pink makes all the difference.

Designers are extensively using this color for lehengas, half-sarees, dresses and sarees. The best part about burnt orange is, it is not over the top and evaporates the gaudy element out of the equation when you choose orange as a color choice. In fact, you will see that a lot of paithani saree designs use colours that are bright but still elegant. The violet diya motifs with hues of blue all over and bottle green zari border makes this a stunning piece.
3. Indigo Blue With Peacock Monogram

The peacock leitmotifs are a constant in Nauvari/Paithani sarees. They are the symbols of elegance and beauty; I couldn’t agree more. And, Indigo is a color that never fails you. It bursts fervor, particularly for ethnic dresses. I loved this deep azure blue saree with golden polka dots design, golden thread border embellished with peacock motifs and a thin lavender lining. The pallu is the showstopper in most paithani sarees, and comes with a rich zari thread work.
4. Parrot Green And Powdered Blue Polka Dots Design

A beautiful combination of two subtle shades of green and blue to arrive at an exquisite saree is a brilliant idea. Polka has been an eternal design and charms any ensemble. Plus, a saree with a distinctive blend of typical shades, is not something you see every day. It will definitely set you apart from the crowd.

This is one color I can never get enough of, and I am sure most of you agree too. It is a domineering shade in my closet, but the excitement remains the same for every new purchase. It is an excellent canvas that uplifts any design and optimizes the beauty of conception. This black silk saree with meena booti—a standard design for paithani sarees and the regal gold, green border is a stunner. Team it up with a bold green bindi and jhumkas to slay it in style.
6. Olive Green And Gold Lotus Design

A typical paithani is all about exquisite zari work, vibrant colours and a hefty border (mostly in gold). This checks off all the elements of an authentic paithani saree. And, you will know when you see one. The trademark akruti print throughout the body, resplendent pallu with lotus designs and colored floral zari work is worth the investment.
