With the shaadi season just around the corner, it’s time to load up on the wedding dressing inspo, right from the traditional Indian wedding dress, to an Indian wedding reception dress.
If you live in this country, then the fact that weddings are the backbone of our culture is not exactly new to you. With a plethora of functions leading up to The Day, every celebration is larger than life. Regardless of the economic status of the bride and groom, weddings are all pomp and show in their best capacity.
Here, not just the bride and groom are the actors in the movie called ‘The Big Fat Indian Wedding,’ both the families play their roles pretty damn well. Dressing up well for each of the days is literally the job half done. The preps can overwhelm families, which is why we have curated the perfect wedding wear guide for each function to lighten the load, right from a traditional Indian wedding dress to an Indian wedding reception dress.
Shades of Shaadi: Indian wedding dresses for every function:
1. Mustard magic for Haldi
A ceremony that’s filled with warmth, joy and laughter, the tradition of haldi conveys the auspiciousness of yellow for Haldi, so why would anyone dress in any colour other than a shade of yellow? We stand with the bright and beautiful Mustard.
With gorgeous veils embroidered across the kurta, and the tassels replacing buttons, what’s not to love in this enchanting outfit? The shadow play of the scallop-bordered organza dupatta, daintily embroidered with what looks like drops of pearls highlights this haldi look.
2. Olive to match the depth of the Mehendi
A Mehendi ceremony is loaded with celebration, emotion, dance and drama. With traditional folk songs playing along with the modern numbers, girls often pose while flaunting their Heena. So you understand how important the outfit is to be worn on this special day. Olive feels the right choice, twinning with the Henna, creating a perfect combination for beautiful pictures.
The olive paisley jaal kurta set ticks all the boxes, capturing the essence of the ceremony just right. The pop of pink and purple complements the head-to-toe olive outfit seamlessly. Add some jhumkas, keep your hair and make-up simple and get ready to live the Bollywood Mehendi dream.
3. A pink like Barbie for a star-studded sangeet
Sangeets are the most fun part of every wedding. Every attendee is ready to put their best (dancing) foot forward. Drink or no drink, this is the night to dance till you drop, hoping you don’t. And how can you live your Bollywood moment without the perfect outfit? That’s where we come in.
We suggest opting for the hottest shade of pink you can find and channeling Barbie energy on the dance floor. Thank us later.
This embroidered Kurta set is comfy, chic, eye-catching and luxe all at once. The dupatta adds a touch of glam and brings together this splendid look in a seamless fashion.
4. The shade of love for the wedding day
The wedding ceremony emphasises elegance through a garment that represents grace and tradition. We suggest ditching the predictable Indian wedding lehenga and opting for something timeless like the lotus saree. Made from delicate organza fabric and embellished with intricately embroidered lotus motifs, this saree showcases exceptional artistry. Paired with a zari check blouse crafted in chanderi, this saree oozes timelessness and sophistication. A simplistic saree in a love-like shade is the perfect traditional Indian wedding dress.
5. Parading in Purple for the royal reception
The reception, as the grand conclusion of the wedding festivities, is a display of luxury and grandeur. It’s a moment to honour love and dedication in the presence of cherished ones. An Indian wedding reception dress in striking shades of purple and embellished with detailed marodi work, this outfit signifies grace and luxury.
A lehenga saree, with a purple skirt, an embroidered pallu, and a blouse featuring exquisite marodi work, perfectly captures the spirit of the reception. The depth of purple signifies royalty and the dainty embroidery adds a luxe vibe to this Indian wedding reception dress. Dress it up or down with accessories, hair & make-up and you have got yourself a head-turner.
Let’s honour tradition and love while enjoying the beauty of traditional Indian wedding clothes, where each stitch tells a story of elegance and love, tied with a thread of tradition.
