Red, green and white saris are the traditional garment choice for brides in Indian culture. Sari fabric is also traditionally silk. Over time, colour options and fabric choices for Indian brides have expanded. Today fabrics like [[crape|crêpe]], [[Georgette (fabric)|Georgette]], tissue and [[satin]] are used, and colours have been expanded to include gold, pink, orange, maroon, brown, and yellow as well. Indian brides in Western countries often wear the sari at the wedding ceremony and change into other traditional Indian wear afterwards such as [[Gagra choli#Lehenga|lehenga]], or [[choli]]s etc.
