The Indian wedding season is nothing short of a fashion festival — full of colors, rituals, and countless reasons to dress up. Whether you're the bride's best friend, a close cousin, or just attending the wedding for the food (no judgment!), one thing is for sure: your outfit matters.
At Swaraas, we believe every woman deserves to feel elegant, confident, and comfortable. Here's a curated list of 10 ethnic outfits you must have in your wardrobe for the wedding season.
1. Statement Anarkali for the Sangeet Night
An Anarkali with intricate embroidery and a flowing silhouette is perfect for dancing the night away. Choose vibrant hues like fuchsia, teal, or emerald green with mirror or zari work.
🧵 Style tip: Pair it with jhumkas and a messy bun for a royal vibe.
2. Silk Saree for the Wedding Ceremony
Nothing beats the timeless charm of a traditional silk saree. Opt for Banarasi, Kanjivaram, or Chanderi depending on your style.
🧵 Style tip: Add a belt to the saree drape for a modern twist.
3. Lehenga Set for the Reception
A lightweight lehenga in pastel shades with subtle shimmer is ideal for receptions. Go for organza or georgette fabric for easy movement and elegance.
🧵 Swaraas pick: Our blush-pink embroidered lehenga with dupatta.
4. Sharara Suit for the Mehendi Function
Sharara suits are fun, flirty, and perfect for pre-wedding functions. Go bold with prints or go minimal with monotones and gota-patti work.
🧵 Style tip: Add floral jewelry to complete the Mehendi look.
5. Indo-Western Fusion Dress for the Cocktail Party
Mix tradition with trend — think cape-style kurtas, jacket lehengas, or dhoti pants with crop tops.
🧵 Style tip: Metallic accessories and high heels will elevate the glam.
6. Printed Cotton Kurta Set for Day Functions
Comfort meets style with breathable cotton or mulmul kurta sets. Ideal for Haldi, brunch, or pooja ceremonies.
🧵 Swaraas pick: Our block-printed kurta sets with matching dupattas.
7. Chikankari Kurti with Palazzo Pants
Elegant yet understated, chikankari kurtis are a versatile choice for any semi-formal wedding event.
🧵 Style tip: Pair with oxidized silver jewelry and a potli bag.
8. Floor-Length Gown with Ethnic Touch
A gown with traditional embroidery or ethnic prints can be your go-to for engagement parties or modern weddings.
🧵 Style tip: Opt for bell sleeves or slit styles for an Indo-contemporary feel.
9. Saree Gown or Pre-Draped Saree
Easy to wear, super stylish, and perfect for when you’re running late — a pre-stitched saree saves time while looking on point.
🧵 Swaraas pick: Drape-style sarees in metallic hues for evening functions.
10. Handloom Dupatta with a Simple Suit Set
Let the dupatta do the talking — pair a rich handwoven dupatta with a plain kurta-palazzo set.
🧵 Style tip: Choose Phulkari, Banarasi, or Kalamkari dupattas for different moods.
