It is always enjoyable to be a guest at Indian weddings! You get to dress in traditional Indian garb, see lots of long-lost friends and family members, and eat a lot of mouthwatering food. But how should a visitor dress if they plan to attend an Indian wedding?
The variety of fabrics and dresses available is enormous, and Indian clothing is not only stunning and glittery but also offers a wide selection.
You will feel awfully out of place if you wear something bulky and synthetic to a summer wedding. Additionally, it’s not a good idea to dress too lightly if it’s winter. If you are not dressed appropriately, you won’t be able to enjoy the other people’s company or the food and you won’t look good. Here are some suggestions for appropriate Indian wedding guest attire.
We thought we should give you some advice on what to wear to a wedding since the wedding season is currently in full swing.
A Graceful Saree
You did read that correctly. Sarees are the ideal clothing choice for weddings because they are lightweight and allow for a lot of ventilation, provided that you avoid those that are heavily embellished. For a royal appearance, go with a silk saree.
You could also choose a chiffon saree with tasteful embellishments only on the borders and pallu for that timeless appearance. For a sophisticated statement, wear it with diamond jewelry. To create a bohemian look, which is currently “in,” you could also choose a handloom silk saree and pair it with chunky silver jewelry.
A Chic Lehenga
If you enjoy fusion fashion, attending a wedding in formal attire is right up your alley. The lightness and airflow of flared maxi skirts with traditional accents like zari weaves or embroidery make them ideal for special occasions. Pair the skirt with a crop top or blouse that also has a touch of Indian culture.
By selecting a lehenga skirt and blouse with mirror work or tribal motifs, you can give this look a bohemian twist. Skip the necklace and accessorize this look with suitable, oversized earrings.
Get a light-colored lehenga and wear it with a simple blouse. Wear a sheer cape with only the borders embellished in place of the dupatta. Even though a cape this thin and transparent adds no extra bulk, it still makes you appear unique and elegant.
A Traditional Suit
Perhaps the most comfortable Indian clothing is the salwar kurta. To avoid appearing overly simple in a salwar suit at a wedding, add some elaborate embroidery to the dupatta. Wear a lighter dupatta if the suit is heavy, and the opposite if it isn’t.
Glamorous Gowns
As we previously stated, fusion attire is what will keep us afloat during this wedding season. These dresses are readily accessible in countless patterns and designs.
But be careful when selecting the fabric. One-piece outfits known as gowns make it simple to move around in them. Choose a classy stone or pearl necklace, a stylish hairstyle, and a clutch with embellishments. At the wedding reception, you’ll definitely attract attention!
Twirl-worthy Anarkali
The floor-length Anarkali dress is the best option for you if you want to dress up but incorporate more ethnic elements into your ensemble. You can avoid the hassle of lugging around a flared gown by wearing an Anarkali floor-length dress, which has a wide A-line cut but isn’t excessively flared. Additionally, the Anarkali dress will only have decorations on the yoke and border.
