Select an Indo Western Wedding Dress According to Your Wedding Type
1. Pastel Gowns for Engagement
Rock a gown or a pretty crop top and skirt. Keep it elegant and chic! If you’re wearing red for your wedding, then avoid it on your engagement. Instead, choose pinks, pastels or royal blue. If it’s an evening affair then go for metallics or a poofy engagement gown.
2. Statement Cocktail Dress for Rehearsal Dinner
Though it’s not your actual wedding day, you still want all eyes on you. It’s almost like ‘the’ day! You want to look all pretty and stand out but also make sure you don’t overshadow your wedding dress. So, you can opt for a classy gown with unconventional embroidery or a side slit.
Choose a metallic bubblegum pink or a silver cocktail gown for an attractive look. A ruffled Indo western wedding dress in pink or blue would also look vibrant and peppy!
3. Royal Destination Wedding Dresses
Destination weddings are always an exotic affair. With beautiful and enchanting locations, you don’t want to compromise with your outfit.
Fort and castle weddings are magnificent and beautiful. Hence, opt for a heavy embroidered lehenga gown. To give an Indo western feel to your attire, opt for a sheer poncho or cape instead of the dupatta. Royal colors are perfect for a destination wedding dress like royal blue, red and gold. Go for a rich fabric like velvet, silk or brocade.
4. Peachy Pastels for a Beach Wedding
Beach weddings are always fun. Opt for light pastel colors like peach and white for a sundowner wedding. And purples and oranges if it’s an evening wedding. Also, try ruffled gowns to match the waves of the sea. Off-shoulder gowns and plunging necks look really sexy for beach weddings.
5. Trendy Indo Western Wedding Dress for an Intimate Ceremony
If you’re planning an intimate wedding ceremony or a simple and small gathering, then you can sport a lehenga with a twist! Crop tops are making waves in traditional attire, so opt for an unconventionally designed top. Try sheer fabrics and metallic shades. You can wear a simple fluffy gown with minimal accessories.
6. Florals for a Garden Wedding
Garden weddings are beautiful and mesmerizing. Floral embroidery, long trials, capes, and ponchos look the best! Embellished gowns, ruffled tops, vibrant pastel colors go well for garden weddings. Accessorize with a flower pin or tiara.
7. Full Sleeved Gowns for Winter Weddings
If your wedding is during winter then choose a full sleeved gown or an Indo western wedding dress with a long jacket. You can also team it up with a crop jacket to complete the look. Go for the classic winter shades like crimson, burgundy, navy and amethyst.
8. Bold Metallics for a Themed Wedding
Wedding themes for Indian weddings have gradually evolved over the time. Unique themes give you an opportunity to experiment with your wedding outfit as well.
