Red is a very popular choice of color for marriage attire, but its popularity arises from the fact that it works very well in the Indian context. If a bride wears a red saree to her wedding, it is a sign of prosperity, fertility and good luck. It is also associated with the color of blood, which is one of the reasons why brides in India wear red colored sarees. However, if brides in other countries want to wear a red colored saree for their wedding, they should keep in mind that reddish shades like burgundy, plum and burnt orange look stunning when paired with golden jewelry.
