The colour red is always seen as the married girls colour. At the age of six, when I first saw a bride, she looked like an Indian Goddess draped in a red lehenga and radiating the glow. While growing up I used to proudly say I will ditch the red and go for the pink, and my mom stubbornly used to tell me that red is the colour for Indian bride. It must have happened to all of you at some point in your life or will happen when you will try to ditch the traditional lane and go the modern way your parents had intervened. Anyway, no matter what your preference is, we at Weddingbytes is finally revealing why Indian brides wear red and other wedding questions that are parents failed to make us understand.
