If you are feeling overwhelmed by the next fat Indian wedding, don’t worry, we have got you covered.
When it comes to weddings, there are many outfit options, but planning ahead for the weeklong affair may save you from last-minute trouble or panic of the dress being too tight or too loose or shoe not fitting… Well, there are endless worries when both clothing and weddings are involved.
Keeping in mind the restlessness and the tiredness that can accompany you with the wedding week, we have put together some dos and don’ts to navigate you through the week.
Do some research on the new designs.
It is highly recommended to start your design search 1-2 months ahead of the wedding. You can take inspiration from your celebrities, designers, and Instagram influencers. The design, colours, and fabric change with respect to season, so make sure to include these factors too. We wouldn’t want you to wearing chiffon choli in cold, ruthless winters now do we? If you are highly into mainstream fashion, you might follow the new take on kurta shalwar, plazos, lehenga, saris by famous designers like Shyamal and Manish Malhotra. However, if you are still clueless about designs and need something that saves you the trouble of endless hours of net surfing, we are here to rescue. Check the couture collection on KR Couture that has a brilliant collection for wedding day specials with the trendiest design and brightest colours.
Don’t do last minute shopping!
With multiple online stores delivering items right at your doorstep, it might be tempting enough to delay for wedding shopping till the last week or day. These gimmicks might work for casual clothing but do not (we mean never) take risks with your wedding dresses. Even if you are a working woman, do the shopping at least 3 weeks before the day. It is essential to check the stitching and fitting of the dress so spare some time; you will not regret it!
Check the colour schemes
Weddings are a happy, joyous occasion, and an invite to one means someone wants to celebrate their special day with you. So do your best to look the part through your dress.
As we mentioned, the season also plays a vital role in deciding the colour schemes of the outfits. For summers, try light colour dresses where go for dark colours in winters. However, try to mix the colours up between the days. For days like sangeet, bright colours like pink, green orange looks ravishing. This can be followed by light colour attires in baby pink or light purple for the big day, which will look equally stunning. You can also try to contrast with your dresses like dark maroon looks lovely with beige.
Similarly, light peach looks equally bewitching with teal. But whatever you chose at the end of the day, make sure that outfit still screams wedding and not the opposite
Ladies, do remember to accessorize!
We believe you might have taken our ‘buy and try the dress before the big day’ advice earnestly, so now you are only left with matching perfect accessories with your dress. Do not think that your heavy lehenga is going to make up for earrings or bracelets. Even the smallest jewellery makes all the difference. Bangles are a must-wear on Sangeet or Mehendi events. A thick choker necklace will look divine on the lehenga. But if you are not comfortable wearing a choker necklace all day, opt for studs and tikkas instead. If you are going for shalwar kameez, palazzo, or churhi pyjama, jhumkas will look heavenly on you. Just make sure to accessorize and spend your day like a true diva.
Go for soft, subtle makeup looks because we still want all the attention on the bride of the day. Now go forth and enjoy your day!
