Indian weddings aren’t just events—they’re week-long fashion marathons filled with color, culture, and celebrations! From the sunny haldi to the vibrant mehndi, the dazzling sangeet, and the regal wedding day, every function deserves its own unique outfit that matches the vibe (and makes heads turn!).

Whether you’re the bride, bridesmaid, or guest, Glambay brings you the ultimate guide to what to wear for each wedding ceremony—with tips to nail the perfect look while staying true to tradition and trend.

Haldi – Radiate in Yellow & Sunshine Vibes

Vibe: Fresh, joyful, messy, and full of turmeric love.

What to Wear:

  • Lightweight yellow lehenga, kurti with sharara, or floral saree

 

  • Fabrics like cotton, georgette, or chiffon that are easy to clean

 

  • Sleeveless or off-shoulder styles for a modern twist

Styling Tips:

  • Floral jewelry (maang tikka, earrings, bangles) for a boho-chic vibe
  • Keep makeup dewy and minimal—let your natural glow shine
  • Go barefoot or wear flats—it’s going to get messy!

 Glambay Pick: Custom haldi outfits with gota patti work and floral dupattas for that breezy, effortless charm.

Mehndi – Playful, Colorful & Instagram-Ready

Vibe: Lively, feminine, and full of intricate details (literally).

What to Wear:

  • Vibrant lehenga skirts with crop tops or cape-style anarkalis
  • Fun colors like lime green, coral, rani pink, or aqua blue
  • Consider sleeveless or off-shoulder styles (so your hands stay free for henna!)

Styling Tips:

  • Add a statement maang tikka or oversized earrings
  • Go with braid or half-tied hairdos to flaunt your mehndi
