Co-Ord Set

Co-ord sets make an ideal fusion wear that includes a fine blend of ethnic and Western styles! It is ideal for pre-wedding celebrations. The ethnic co-ord set can mostly include a choli-style crop top, a skirt or flared pants and a matching jacket that works as a chic overlayer! You can select the outfit either in a vibrant hue or pastel. Speaking of detailing, choose a co-ord outfit with a busy print or one with intricate details like sequin or embroidery work. Accentuate it with statement jewellery and you are all set!

Floral Lehenga

When you are attending a wedding, make sure that you pick an outfit that will not overshadow the bride or her immediate family's ensembles! Shine on with the attire but make sure to keep it understated yet interesting. Opt for a lightweight lehenga that features a pretty floral design, a zigzag pattern or a more fun outlook. It can make a lovely choice to ace the wedding look without making you look overdressed!

Punjabi Suit

Destination wedding or in your city wedding, you can never go wrong with a quintessential Punjabi suit outfit! You can select one featuring intricate detailing, pattern, colour, or silhouette. A lovely kurta set with either a matching or contrast dupatta is a comfy option to wear at weddings. Accentuate the desi ensemble with beautiful jewellery like a choker neckpiece, chandelier earrings, matching bangles or kadas and you are sure to make the heads turn!

Silk Saree

A silk saree is a classic piece of ensemble and will always make you achieve that classic diva-like look! For destination weddings (especially during the pheras or taking vows), you can turn up in a lovely silk saree that has a rich shine and appeal to it. If you are not comfortable carrying the weight of pure Kanjeevaram silk sarees (yes they can feel weighty), select other alternatives like soft silks, or raw silk ones. You can accentuate the look with traditional jewellery or go contrast with modern jewel pieces!

Shimmery Saree

For cocktail parties or wedding receptions, you can elevate your style quotient by selecting a chic modern saree! A shimmery, sequin work lightweight saree can make a lovely choice to shimmer and shine amongst all! Make sure to go minimal on the accessories front to let the design details on the saree outshine. Pick one statement piece of jewellery like an earring, neckpiece, or bracelet to complement your shiny attire!

Saree with Cape

Wish to flaunt an offbeat yet wedding-appropriate outfit? Then select a saree layered with a cape jacket! Select a lovely lightweight chiffon or crepe saree that can feature minimal design details like vibrant print, sequin work, or an eye-catchy border. Elevate the saree with a matching custom-crafted cape jacket. It makes a perfect option when you want the whole saree attire to have a high-end style vibe to it!
