Classic Punjabi Suit

A traditional Punjabi suit combines ageless charm with elegance, making it a stylish and colourful option for a wedding guest. Consider a kurta with intricate embroidery and a flowing salwar, pants, or sharara, highlighted by beautiful zari or phulkari embroidery that expresses the spirit of the occasion.

For a gorgeous fusion of heritage and elegance, Deepika Padukone's maroon Punjabi outfit with golden threadwork and gorgeously woven dupatta is the ideal sartorial suggestion. Her pick of eye-catching accessories, such as striking earrings, accentuated the ensemble's allure without taking the spotlight.

Organza Silk Lehenga

Yes, heavy fabric lehengas should ideally be reserved for the brides. But that doesn't mean you should skip wearing the "ethnic favourite" ensemble AKA the lehenga even when you are the guest.

The 'Jawan' movie actress looked ethereal in an airy traditional outfit comprising a plain beige choli and black lehenga skirt. The semi-sheer organza dupatta worked as a chic layering to her contemporary wedding-apt look!

Neutral Toned Set

It's the bride's special day and you don't want to steal her glory by sporting the Dulhan-apt colours like red, maroon, or gold (not a set fashion rule though). As a wedding attendee, you can choose hues that allow you to shine in tones that appear subtle yet striking.

Learn it from the leggy beauty to turn heads at any wedding with the right choice of colours. Her minimally-detailed kurti set in off-white is the perfect illustration of how to tame elegance and sophistication!

Shimmery Saree

Special celebrations call for special outfits. Flaunting a bit or more of jazz never hurts anyone. From sangeet to cocktail party to reception, a shimmery outfit will allow you to steal the attention. Choose a stylish saree featuring eye-catching sequins to match the celebratory vibes.

Dippy gave the ideal style cue for rocking the shimmer without going overboard. Her soft-toned saree detailed with shiny embellishments was perfected with statement jewellery, minimal makeup, and a classic chignon hairdo!

Bandhani Kurti

A bandhani kurti brings the perfect boho-chic twist to the ethnic look with its vibrant colour, print, and nomadic vibe. The signature geometric and paisley patterns add an edgy charm. Ideal for fusion wedding events, it pairs well with palazzos, skirts, and even denim.

Fusion Co-Ord

Go beyond the predictable wedding guest look and earn compliments. Pick a co-ord set that has fusion-inspired detailing or cut. Yes, while complementing pieces including a skirt or kurti set make a chic choice, you can still go a little experimental. Why not go for a fusion pantsuit? It will show off your offbeat aesthetic.
