What should I wear?

Are you a girl if you never stand in front of your closet saying, "I have nothing to wear?" With so many pre-wedding events and the big day, pulling off a perfect outfit can be daunting. With tons of events to attend this wedding season, from walima to bridal showers and receptions, you must raid your mom's closet to find the exact piece that coordinates the event. This article will cover everything you need to know for a perfect wedding guest look.
For this daytime celebration, like a bridal shower, keep your attire as light and cheerful as possible. Wear a knee-length floral dress in light colours like soft pastels, pink, blue or lavender.
For hair, go for loose waves or a sleek ponytail. Opt for simple pieces like pearl jewellery or dainty neckpieces. Moving on with makeup, "Clean Girl Makeup" will look perfect with rosy cheeks and pink lips. Remember, you want to look pretty and not steal thunder from the bride.
Next, we have Walima, where you can keep fit with pastel shades like mint green, powder blue, or baby pink. A simple Jamdani saree with a neat bun will make you look fresh. Your makeup should be elegant with glowing skin, soft brown eyeshadow and pretty pinkish nude lips. Add some sparkle by adding dainty pieces like a simple bracelet and shiny choker.
Next, we have Mehendi, all about fun, colours, and tradition. You can wear bright and vibrant colours like orange or green. A flowing Anarkali, a simple straight-cut kameez or a flowing kurta with palazzo pants should be your top picks. Style your hair in a sleek and neat braid with fresh flowers adorning it. For makeup, go bold with either bold eyes and a nude lip combo or simple eye-blue lipstick. For ornaments, go for a choker and leave your bangles for other functions, as you have to put on some mehndi.
Sangeet! The name suggests that it's a music event where everybody dances, so pick an outfit that allows you to do some dance moves. Choose a sharara, stylish floor-touch gown, or simple lehenga set.
The colour palette should be royal blue, purple, or emerald green. For jewellery, wear a tiara with statement earrings. Straighten your hair and middle part to have a snatched look with a tiara.
For makeup, experiment with shimmering eyes and bold lips. Your makeup should last through the dancing, so use long-wearing products.
For the haldi, wear a comfortable saree in either red or yellow. A simple cotton saree will go perfectly since there's a chance of getting stained. Keep your makeup minimalistic with a bold lip. Pull your hair back in a sleek bun and add some fresh flowers. And even for jewellery, wear fresh flower ornaments. And you're all good to go to snatch the hold look.
The wedding, the big day, surely deserves some panache. Kindly avoid red or golden, which are primarily bridal colours.
For a daytime wedding, choose pastel colours; go for rich colours like maroon, purple, or navy for a nighttime wedding. A heavy saree or elegant gown would be perfect for any wedding. Style your hair in a classic updo or loose waves. Wear traditional jewellery, but keep it tasteful.
Your makeup should be long-lasting and not too heavy. Go for a long coverage foundation, defined eyes with arched brows, and bold red lips. Don't forget to apply a highlighter that can be seen from Mars.
Last but not least is the reception, which offers an hour's chance to go out. Ivory, golden, or maroon suits are perfect for this nighttime event. Wear a long evening gown, saree, or lehenga. You can style your hair in glamorous waves. The reception is the time to showcase your best statement pieces; wear a sparkly choker or kundan earrings. Remember one thing: wear a dainty earring and choker combo or statement earrings with a tiara combo.
Since this is a glam night, your makeup can be more dramatic with shimmering eyeshadow and dark lipgloss. But make sure to keep everything classy and not too gaudy.
Apart from following these guidelines, read the invitation to check the couple's dress code and colour palette. Whatever you wear, pull it off with confidence, and you're good to go. This is where you will get compliments on being the best-dressed guest at any wedding event.
