Indian weddings are a series of celebrations, and each one has its own mood.
Haldi — Bright yellows and easy fabrics. A cotton or organza saree, or a light Anarkali, is practical and photographs beautifully.
Mehendi — Greens, marigold and multicolour. Flared lehengas and shararas let you sit comfortably while the henna dries.
Sangeet — This is the night to dance. Choose a lightweight lehenga or an indo-western set that moves with you.
The wedding — Tradition shines here. A silk Kanjivaram or Banarasi saree, or a richly embroidered bridal lehenga.
Reception — Pastels, shimmer and contemporary cuts. Embroidered designer sarees and net lehengas are perfect.
When in doubt, think about comfort: you will enjoy the celebration far more in an outfit you can move in.
