I had zeroed in on a teal and red georgette saree with gold motifs and broad gold border to wear to a friend's wedding. What made me choose this saree was the combination of teal and red, although the saree is largely teal, it has a dash of red in the border. This saree was a part of my wedding trousseau and I decided to wear it at the first opportunity. Originally the saree came with a matching blouse piece (teal with gold and red border). However, I thought that the matching blouse made the saree look a tad dull, and dull I was in no mood to wear! So I went out fabric shopping with my Mum and we scooped up some gorgeous chanderi silk fabric in red and gold which I thought would brighten up the entire look. And I think I was right, the blouse made all the difference to the saree. It added a touch of interest and fun to the whole look. Another thing I want to say is that I had a clear vision regarding the style of the blouse. Full sleeves was something I wanted from the moment I planned on wearing this saree, not only because the month of December is cold, but because of the fact that full-sleeves make the outfit look a little royal/unique/designer-esque (the right word seems to be escaping my mind, but feel free to write it).
