Wedding Edit by Swtantra
For the wedding season
You're not the bride, but you're in every photo
This is our edit for everyone else at the wedding: the sister, the groom's cousins, and the friend who was told to wear something nice. We've built it around the wedding card, one function at a time.
Haldi and mehndi mornings call for yellows, greens and pastels in light chiffon and organza. For the sangeet, go for sequin and satin drapes that move when you dance. The wedding and reception are where handwork, embroidered net and heritage weaves in deeper colours come in.
Nobody wants to pleat at a 7 am haldi, so we've kept pre-draped options in here too, and they stay put through the dancing. Planning several looks? Our haldi and sangeet pages make shopping by function quicker.
The season runs roughly from November to February, and again from April to June. Plan your looks function by function, and order early enough to leave time for a blouse fitting, and you'll thank yourself later.
Good to know
What should I wear to a reception?
A sequin, satin or embroidered net saree in wine, emerald, midnight blue or black. We'd skip red and ivory unless the family says otherwise.
Which colours look best at a sangeet?
Metallics and jewel tones love evening lights, so gold, bronze, rose gold and teal are all lovely.
We're bridesmaids. Should we match?
Coordinated colours in different styles look more modern in photos. Our bridesmaid edit has plenty of ideas.
