Match the Dress to the Function
Haldi: Go for light, playful outfits, think yellow lehenga, floral saree, or a contemporary sharara. Choose breathable fabrics like cotton or organza.
Mehendi: Opt for vibrant colours (green, pink, orange) with easy movement. Avoid sleeves that restrict hand access.
Sangeet: Embrace glam sequined lehengas, Indo-western gowns, or crop tops and skirt combos that work beautifully.
Wedding: Choose traditional red, maroon, or deep hues, or go offbeat with pastels and ivory. Zardozi, gota patti, or hand embroidery, shine here.
Reception: Time to dazzle in silk sarees, velvets, or glitzy gowns in wine, navy, or gold.
Respect Tradition, but Add Personal Style
Incorporate heirloom elements like your mother’s dupatta or jewellery, but give it a modern twist with a contemporary cut or layering.
Prioritise Comfort & Fit
Heavy embroidery looks stunning, but not if it limits your movement. Prioritise well-tailored, lightweight silhouettes, especially for day-long events.
Choose Fabrics by Season
Summer: Georgette, organza, silk blends.
Winter: Velvet, brocade, raw silk.
Always consider the venue, open lawns need heavier fabrics for flow, while indoor venues suit lighter ensembles. 🪄 Bonus Tips:
Always do a trial fitting at least 2–3 weeks in advance.
Plan your outfits based on weather, travel, and the length of event days.
For destination weddings, pack outfits in garment bags and keep jewellery safely stored in hand baggage.
Prioritise what feels authentically YOU—it’ll show in the photos.
