Wedding season or not, one needs no excuse to revel in the anticipation and grandeur of an Indian wedding. It is the union of two families, a series of festivities, the shor-sharaba and extensive preparations, along with the emotional and physical participation of extended families and friends, that make Indian weddings every bit special.
When you talk about weddings, it is not just the D-day that steals all the glory. The pre-wedding shenanigans and the whole process of selecting your outfits and creating statement looks are equally fun and stimulating. And, to help you nail wedding fashion, we have put together our top picks for two of the most loved festivities: haldi and mehendi.
Top 3 Mehendi Looks
Ridhi Mehra’s Luxurious Appeal
The gharara set by Ridhi Mehra lends a cheerful appeal to the look with its Indian elegance and stylistic twists. If the close-neck, pleated kurta adds a regal charm to the ensemble, the gharara pants and the dupatta highlight traditional modesty and modern aesthetics.

The six yards of elegance are a reflection of royal Indian craftsmanship that incorporates a vast amalgamation of embroidery techniques. The embellished borders depicting unconventional designs impart a striking, distinctive effect to an otherwise minimalistic fashion landscape.
