Wedding outfits and ceremonies:
Weddings in India are traditionally three days long. A Ganesha Pooja, a Hindu ritual performed at home with nearby relatives and friends, takes place on the first day. Usually, the Haldi ceremony is also celebrated on the same day. The bride and groom are accompanied by their loved ones for an evening of dancing and celebration on the second day, the sangeet (or Mehendi ceremony). This is frequently the case as the bride has henna tattoos on her hands and feet. On the third day, the wedding service occurs in the morning, followed by an evening dinner.
A few extra ideas:
With the growing success of fusion weddings, couples are putting their own unique twist on tradition. Both or parts of these traditions can be used in Indian weddings. Guests can, however, dress properly for each ceremony to which they are welcomed.
It is critical to dress conservatively, particularly for religious ceremonies. The dress code can differ depending on the kind of religious wedding ceremony you are attending. Some rituals ask you to cover your shoulders and perhaps your head, while others do not. The more formal the setting—say, a mosque or temple—the more restrictive the dress code.
The final move is to instal a couple of accessories. Accessorizing is always important, particularly when it comes to bracelets. We like wearing bracelets to go with our various outfits. When it comes to jewellery, I really recommend getting an item that you can wear with other outfits so you can wear it a few times during the year.
When non-Indian visitors accept the culture and dress in Indian garb, the Indian group is ecstatic. Older ladies would be overjoyed to assist you in tying a sari or mending a blouse. Make sure you will enjoy the food and dance the night away, no matter what you want to wear. Indian weddings are well-known for their extravagant decor.
1. Haldi Ceremony
The bride and groom would rub turmeric paste on their faces as part of the ceremony. As a result, your party-wear ensemble can develop permanent yellow stains, rendering it unusable. For the Haldi ceremony, a budget-friendly printed saree, semi-formal palazzo outfit, or a skirt and crop top ensemble are good bets.
2. Mehndi/ Sangeet Ceremony
Suits are some of the most fashionable mehndi/ sangeet function dresses you can wear, whether it’s a simple salwar suit, palazzo outfit, kurta and skirt ensemble, or a gharara. They’re easy to frolic in, and they can be customised to suit the size of the ceremony.
3. Wedding Ceremony
In certain circumstances, you might be expected to dress according to the traditions of a particular culture. A couple planning a traditional Indian wedding, for example, may ask women to wear saris. Do your homework, ask for assistance when necessary, and always dress politely in these situations.
