“This outfit is very Indian-princess-like, and the hairstyle is a bit Audrey Hepburn-inspired.”
Hey angel! Today I want to share a really personal look, which I usually never do – my own engagement gown. This season, I’ve been writing plenty about Indian wedding ideas!

This outfit is very Indian-princess-like, and the hairstyle is a bit Audrey Hepburn-inspired. So overall it’s a very royal engagement look. Whether its your engagement, reception, or you’re going to your brother’s wedding – a poofy gown is a great choice for Indian weddings!
Ball gowns are one of the most princess-y among all Indian gown styles. They look good on almost all body types. Choose something that accentuates your best parts!
For my engagement, I chose an Indian gown in sapphire blue, which is my favorite color! The gown is tulle, with lots of embroidery both in the front and back, and part-sheer in the front neckline and back.
I wanted a poofy bun to go with this look, because I just wanted to experiment with a more royal, queen-like hairstyle. The bun is a very complicated, fifty-hairpin-requiring hairstyle which needed many twirls and twists of tiny strands of hair. I added a tiny gold tiara to finish the hairstyle!
The back and the poofy tulle skirt are my favorite parts of this gorgeous gown. The sheer back balances the heavy embroidery, and to focus on it even more, I kept the neck jewelry-free. And opted for drop diamond and blue enamel earrings instead to frame the face.
For the makeup I wanted a clean look with a bit of blush and pink lips, with heavily wing-lined eyes, for a dramatic royal Indian makeup look.
I was wearing:
Blue gown with gold embroidery: Vivah, Karol Bagh, New Delhi
Gold tiara: Catch Me, Karol Bagh, New Delhi
Gold, diamond and blue enamel earrings: Soni Sapphire, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi
Bracelet and bangles: Soni Sapphire, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi
Hair and makeup: Cleopatra Spa and Makeup, Chandigarh
