Here are the best designer Indian engagement dresses for every type of bride! The latest and trendiest dresses to make you look PERFECT!
Hey gorgeous! Planning an Indian wedding can be hectic, and overwhelming. But also fun! because you get to choose the most gorgeous dresses for all the different wedding celebrations! I love Indian engagement dresses even more than the wedding lehengas! Or maybe not, it’s hard to choose!
Anyway, this year, we have lots of great designer choices to choose from – Lakme Fashion Week, Bridal Week and the couturier’s other collections have lots of beautiful engagement dresses! So I’m choosing my favorite 15 designer Indian engagement dresses! From lehengas to gowns – from heavy to low-key – there’s something here for every bride-to-be!
Indian Engagement Dresses: Lehengas
Lehengas can be both flashy and low-key – they can be bright or light pastel shades – they can be traditional or modern – but they don’t have to be boring! Here are both types of choices!
Indian Engagement Dresses: Lehenga Saree/ Mixed Outfits
We’re seeing lots of mixed type outfits this season – lehenga-sarees that look more like Indianized gowns! Take a look!
Indian Engagement Dresses: Gowns
My personal favorite choice for an engagement party is a beautiful gown – with a big poofy skirt! Make sure the top is even more beautiful than the skirt – so it shows in all your top-half engagement pictures!
Indian Engagement Dresses: Gowns with Duppattas
If a gown is too skin-showy for you, try a gown with duppatta!

Just a quick suggestion. I tried reloading the webpage twice but the images didnt turn up. I think the images need a bit of compression.
