What to wear as a guest to an Indian wedding

Indian weddings are a big affair. Most weddings are bright, colorful and full of fun.

If you are invited as a guest and need tips for what to wear, read on…

The obvious choice : Lehengas

Lehengas are absolutely gorgeous outfits. They consist of a long skirt, a blouse and a dupatta.

There are so many styles to choose from. You can go all out with bold colors like pink, orange, purple with a lot of embellishment and heavy work or you can be demure and delicate with pastel shades like blush, peach, mauve, pale pink with intricate but not heavy work.

You can choose a lehenga according to your body type. There are varied styles of skirts and blouses and you're sure to find one that emphasizes your assets.

It is also important to consider the season. Go with lighter, floral lehengas for summer weddings and opt for heavier ones for winter weddings.

The next best : Anarkalis

Anarkalis were made famous by their namesake from the Mughal era. These ethereal flowy garments are easy to manage, give you room to show off those dance moves and still make you look glamorous.

You can opt for the traditional knee-length ones or for the newer, full length anarkalis that almost look like gowns.

For the traditional girl : Sarees

Sarees are the quintessential wedding garments for Indian weddings. They look good on everyone and the variety is endless, I kid you not. Of course, if this is your first time wearing a saree, I would suggest opting for a lighter fabric which is easy to carry.

To channel your traditional-yet-modern style, you can choose a designer saree with a non-traditional pattern or wear a trendy blouse to channel your inner diva.

For the girl who likes to stand out : Fusion wear

Fusion wear is big right now and gives you the right combination of traditional and western. Dhoti pants paired with embellished jackets, saree gowns, skirts with crop tops bearing Indian motifs are some great ways to don this style.
