The stack of wedding invitations continues to pile up this time of the year as people set reminders, finalize gifts, and adjust their schedules. Oh, how we have missed Indian weddings! We’re ready for the heartwarming celebrations set besides those swanky backdrops in our favorite outfits. Outfits? Outfits that are yet to be decided. Now, that is one worry that is universally shared.
We understand how laborious it gets to pick outfits for the slew of celebrations that line up one after the other. But fret not, we’re here to scratch that off your task list for you! Whether you are the maid of honor or attending your colleague's sister's best friend's wedding (Aw, they thought of you!), it is essential for you to deck yourself out in your best!
The Wedding Guest Outfit Dilemma
Now Indian weddings are serious business, you’ve got to be indulgent with your wedding wardrobe. With rituals that hold a deep meaning behind them, each day will be a celebration and you can’t miss out on the pre-wedding festivities. And to enjoy them to the fullest, it is always a good idea to dress yourself with the celebration in mind. Wearing a heavy lehenga for the sangeet will relegate you to a mere spectator.
While wedding dress norms aren't too strict, each ritual expects you to dress appropriately. However, don't restrict yourself to the usual 'socially acceptable' wardrobe talk; be free to break the mold and experiment. After all, weddings are a celebration, so why not fully enjoy it by dressing to your heart's content? So, get ready to be an active soul at the party and enjoy it to the maximum.
