Traditionally, Marathi brides wear nauvari sarees on their wedding day. There are various draping styles that you can opt for while wearing a sarees. The kaashtha or nauvari saree is a style of saree draping is very similar to the way the Maharashtrian dhoti is worn. The word kaashtha refers to the nauvari sarees being tucked at the back. Since the nauvari saree is usually worn by using a single nine-yard cloth, it is also referred to as nauvari saree which technically mean nine yards. The origin of nauvari sarees came into being in the Maratha rule. It is said that during the Maratha rule, women were entrusted to help their fellow male warriors. To facilitate easy movement, Maharashtrian women introduced the nauvari sarees which resembled male trouser.
In Marathi weddings, brides usually wear nauvari sarees as wedding sarees when the rituals take place. It’s also accompanied by a shela (silk stole or scarf that Marathi brides take across their shoulders and hands with a nauvari saree). Most Marathi brides don yellow/mango coloured nauvari sarees by tradition but now brides wear different colours to mark their happy days.

Along with yellow, another traditional colour that Marathi brides wear as their wedding saree is deep green. It’s associated with deep rooted traditions and that’s why a Marathi bride always wears a green chudda on the wedding day. This bride opted for this deep green keeping in mind the traditional colours.
How Exquisite Is This Bright Green And Purple Combo?

Again, another traditional green saree combined with a beautiful dose of purple. This Marathi bride matched her shela with her pallu, which is that bright purple colour. We are loving how she kept the work on her wedding saree minimal, to let the combination of colours do the talking!
While We Love The Pose, We Love That Lime Green Beauty Too!

These nauvari sarees have a different drape than the rest. This is called a mastani double kaashta drape when you have multiple pleats which look different than the regular nauvari sarees. We are digging that bright lime green colour. It’s so vibrant and young – like you feel instantly re-energized by just looking at it!
Who thought cerulean blue and red would look so good?

Loving how this bride opted for such a non-traditional yet lovely combination when it came to picking out the colours for her wedding sarees. This bright hue of blue along with just a pop of red is bright yet pretty enough to not over-power the bride’s gorgeousness.
Another green & pink beauty!

This is like a classic combination, something that never fails to amaze us. Whether is a lehenga, a normal saree or a nauvari saree, a green and pink combination is a total winner. This bridal look is so deep-rooted yet fresh. Loving the hint of yellow that she opted for her shela colour!

If there was one word to describe this nauvari saree, it would be stunning! She opted for a double border paithani saree with royal blue with a cut-out embroidered blouse. Does it get better? A double border paithani saree is a regular paithani saree but with two times the border. This Marathi bride combined that with a royal touch of blue, again an uncommon choice and let the double border shine through!
