Indian weddings are more than just a celebration—they’re a fashion extravaganza. With multiple events packed with tradition, music, and style, each function calls for a unique ethnic look. Whether you're the bride, bridesmaid, or the stylish guest, your outfit should reflect elegance, culture, and individuality.
In this blog, we take you through a wedding season lookbook for 2025, covering the perfect ethnic wear for every major function—from haldi to reception—with styling tips straight from Anvi Ethnics.
🟡 1. Haldi Ceremony – Sunshine & Simplicity
Outfit Picks:
- Yellow Anarkalis
- Chikankari kurtis with palazzos
- Mirror-work lehenga skirts with crop tops
Style Tip: Go minimal but lively. Lightweight fabrics like cotton-silk and mulmul work best for day ceremonies. Pair with floral jewelry or oxidized silver for an earthy yet festive vibe.
💚 2. Mehendi Function – Vibrant, Playful, Comfortable
Outfit Picks:
- Printed lehengas in green or pista tones
- Cape-style kurtas with dhoti pants
- Sleeveless anarkalis in flowy georgette
Style Tip: Mehendi is all about fun, dance, and color. Opt for outfits that allow easy movement. Experiment with tassels, capes, or ruffled dupattas. Go bold with eye makeup and statement earrings.
💗 3. Sangeet Night – Glamorous & Statement-Making
Outfit Picks:
- Sequined lehengas or embellished gowns
- Indo-western jumpsuits with ethnic jackets
- Velvet skirts with crop blouses
Style Tip: Sangeet nights are glamorous affairs. Think sparkles, shimmer, and bold silhouettes. Pair your outfit with stiletto heels, curled hair, and a clutch that adds a pop of bling.
🔴 4. Wedding Day – Traditional Yet Trendsetting
Outfit Picks (for Guests):
- Plain sarees with designer blouse
- Brocade lehengas with contrasting dupattas
- Embroidered anarkalis with antique zardozi
Style Tip: Whether you're the bride or a close family member, this is the day to go all out. Rich fabrics, traditional jewelry, and detailed craftsmanship define wedding day fashion. Add a maang tikka or passa to complete the look.
🌸 5. Reception – Regal, Refined, and Modern
Outfit Picks:
- Floor-length gowns with ethnic motifs
- Designer sarees with pearl detailing
- Contemporary lehengas in muted tones
