Choosing the Right Outfit for the Event

Wedding ceremony (Hindu ceremony or Nikah)

For a formal wedding ceremony, richer fabrics and detailed work such as embroidery, sequins and zari can make an outfit feel appropriately festive. A lehenga choli or embellished Anarkali works well for traditional Indian wedding attire for guests, while a modest sharara, gharara or Anarkali can be a good Nikah outfit as it conver entire body and does not show skin.

Reception or Walima

The reception is often the dressiest part of the celebration. Floor-length Anarkali gowns, embellished lehengas, sarees and gharara suits work particularly well for evening events. If you're looking for a Walima dress or Walima outfit, consider richer embellishment and fabrics that suit a formal setting and less revealing outfit.

Mehndi, Sangeet, Dholki or Haldi

These celebrations often involve dancing, standing and moving between different activities. A lighter palazzo suit or sharara can give you a festive look without feeling too heavy. These styles are also practical choices when you want wedding guest outfits that are comfortable for several hours.

Which Style Should You Choose?

• Lehenga choli - A blouse, flared skirt and dupatta. A classic choice when you want a traditional, dressed-up look.
• Anarkali - A long fitted-to-flared silhouette that usually falls to the ankle or floor. It gives you the look of a gown while keeping traditional styling. It is ofter work with dupatta.
• Sharara - A kurta paired with flared trousers that become wider from around the knee.
• Gharara - Similar to a sharara, but the flare begins at the knee after a fitted section. A gharara suit is often chosen for formal celebrations, particularly Nikah and Walima events.
• Saree - A draped length of fabric worn with a fitted blouse. A saree wedding guest look is especially suitable for a formal reception, while an Indian wedding guest saree can be styled with different jewellery and accessories depending on the ceremony.
• Palazzo suit - A kurta or kameez paired with throughout wide-leg trousers from waist to ankle. It is a practical option if you expect to spend a lot of time standing, walking or dancing.

Choosing the Right Size

Check the measurements on the product's size chart instead of relying on your usual clothing size, as sizing can vary between brands. If your body measurements do not fit the standard chart, custom stitching is available at no extra cost.
