It's always a blast to be a guest at an Indian wedding! You get to dress up in your traditional Indian garb, you get to see old friends and family, and you get to eat a lot of delicious food. But what should a visitor wear to an Indian wedding?
There are several materials and gowns to pick from since Indian garments are not only glittering and beautiful but also have a plethora of possibilities.
Wearing anything heavy and synthetic to a summer wedding will make you exceedingly uncomfortable. At the same time, if it's winter, it's not a good idea to wear anything too light.
Since the summer wedding season is in full swing, we thought we'd offer some advice on what sort of attire you should wear as a guest at a summer wedding. But first, let us establish the essentials. Even before you decide on the color and style of your clothing, you need to know which textiles are suitable for summer and which should be avoided.
We all know that bridal gowns aren't made of cotton. However, you must select breathable textiles.
There are several Indian wedding Guest Dresses to pick from, and we have included options for men, women, and couples.
Flaunt your Saree
Sarees are ideal for summer weddings since they allow for a lot of breathability and are lightweight if you avoid excessively embroidered ones. For a regal appearance, wear a silk saree.
For a more traditional look, choose a chiffon saree with delicate decoration just at the borders and pallu. Combine it with diamond jewelry to make a sophisticated statement.
You may also choose a handloom silk saree and match it with heavy silver jewelry to get a boho aesthetic, which is currently popular.
You have various saree alternatives, such as a Banarasi silk saree or a Kanjivaram saree, but as a guest at an Indian wedding, you should avoid wearing too much jewelry, since this would overpower the saree's beauty.
Experiment with your lehenga
If you enjoy fusion fashion, dressing up for a wedding invitation is just up your alley. Flared maxi skirts with traditional components like zari weaves or embroidery are lightweight, allow air to circulate through, and are ideal for special events. Pair the skirt with a shirt or crop top that has a desi accent.
You may also add a bohemian spin to this style by wearing a lehenga skirt and blouse with mirror work or tribal designs. Wear appropriate but huge earrings instead of a necklace with this ensemble.
Timeless salwar kameez
The salwar kurta is one of the most comfortable types of Indian clothing. To prevent looking too boring in a salwar suit at a wedding, add a unique spin with elaborate embroidery on the dupatta. If your suit is heavier, wear a lighter dupatta, and vice versa.
Choose a dhoti-style bottom, a Patiala, or a sharara instead. These bottoms will instantly elevate the outfit. Choose a fabric such as raw silk or tussar for your outfit to feel comfortable while appearing utterly unique.
Chic gowns will never go out of style
You can close your eyes and go out and get an ethnic gown to dress up for a summer wedding invitation. As previously said, fusion clothes will save us this summer wedding season. Such dresses are widely accessible both online and in stores.
However, pick the cloth prudently. Silk and chiffon are ideal for such dresses, but avoid anything that is heavily decorated or has brocade or velvet on it. Gowns are one-piece garments that are simple to move around in. Choose an attractive hairstyle, some classy stone or pearl jewelry, and an embellished clutch. You're guaranteed to turn heads during the wedding reception!
Sherwani for the dapper you
As a visitor at an Indian wedding, you'd see a lot of guys wearing Sherwanis. Sherwani is a highly traditional and hefty dress that is meant to be worn by close family members for the major wedding celebration, but as a guest, you may always go with a lightly embroidered sherwani.
Sherwani allows you to explore with a variety of different designs and colors, but keep it basic with a solid pair of leather shoes (no sandals).
Kurta to bring out the desi
When it comes to attending a traditional Indian wedding as a guest, a kurta pajama is an ideal option. You may always wear a kurta with embroidery on the chest and arms.
Kurtas come in a variety of forms and sizes; you may choose bright colors if the wedding is during the day, or darker colors if the ceremony is in the evening.
