Haldi & Mehndi Suits
For the wedding season
Bright, light and ready for a little colour
Haldi and mehndi are the happiest, messiest days of a wedding. You'll sit on the floor, dance with your cousins and probably get turmeric on your sleeve. So the suit should be bright, easy to move in and something you won't fret over.
Mustard, yellow and mehndi green run all through this edit. The sunflower yellow posh kurta comes with a dual-colour satin pant and a lace dupatta. The sunshine yellow cotton Schiffli halter is paired with a palazzo, and the yellow cotton slub kurta carries hand embroidery. Cotton pieces like these are the most breathable for outdoor daytime functions.
For mehndi night, the lime green mirror-edge Anarkali and the purple-green satin Anarkali with glass trim feel a little more dressed up. If you're the bride, pick sleeveless or three-quarter sleeves so your mehndi stays on show.
We'd save delicate satin for the evening and wear something easy-care to the haldi itself. Bridesmaids can coordinate by choosing one colour in different silhouettes. In the same mood for sarees, see our haldi sarees, or stay comfortable with our palazzo sets.
Good to know
Will haldi stain my suit?
It can. Choose a fabric you're relaxed about, and rinse any mark quickly in cold water.
What colour should I wear to a haldi?
Yellow is traditional, but orange, mustard, peach and white look lovely too. Our yellow and peach suits are a good place to start.
What works for floor seating at a mehndi?
A palazzo or pant set. You can sit comfortably while the mehndi dries, without a drape to manage.
