How to Choose the Right Outfit for an Indian Wedding as a Guest

How to Choose the Right Outfit for an Indian Wedding as a Guest - Anvi Couture

When you go to an Indian wedding, you will experience loud colours, rich traditions, and stylish celebrations. Choosing the right attire will have you feeling confident, respectful, and festive while seamlessly matching the tone of each event.

How do I choose the right outfit for each function in an Indian wedding?

Indian weddings are a colourful affair, each with its own vibe and attire. The Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, Shaadi and Reception, each have their own outfit choices based on mood and customs. For the Haldi, select light, bright, easy-to-wash colors so that turmeric does not stain. The Mehendi is an event that calls for comfortable yet festive attire, allowing you to fully embrace the artwork and celebrations. For the Sangeet, you will want to wear something glamorous that can withstand dancing and is also easy for you to move in. When it comes to the wedding, lean into traditional wear that is elegant and showcases intricate ethnic styles. When it comes to the Reception, it is about the outfits that are evening appropriate and choose items that are sophisticated with some sparkle involved.

Right Outfit Ideas for Grand Indian Wedding Celebrations

1. Designer Silk Sarees

A Kanjivaram saree, Banarasi or Paithani saree with a golden silk blouse is forever classic for Indian weddings. These weaves, popular for rich zari, intricate borders and jewel-tone hues, form an elegant drape which is appropriate for formal ceremonies or receptions. You can pair this outfit with temple jewellery, an elegant updo and classic clutch to refine your festive look that represents our heritage and royalty with gracefulness.
