Wedding & Sangeet Suits
For guests with a full week of functions
Wedding season means back-to-back functions, travel and long nights. A suit gives you the festive look with none of the pleat-fixing, so you can move between the mandap, the dance floor and the buffet in peace. It's a lifesaver when you're packing one small bag for a destination wedding.
This is a compact edit, chosen with guests in mind. The pink stripe satin dress set arrives with an organza sparkle dupatta. Fuchsia satin and Korean fabric kurtas carry mirror lace or glass-bead collars, which glow in evening photos. Light blue, fawn and yellow halters come with palazzos and no dupatta to manage on the dance floor.
For the reception, the black Banarasi viscose silk kurta is our pick. The purple and green dual-shade viscose satin kurta, with its hand embroidery, works beautifully at a sangeet.
Heavier earrings, a maang tikka and a potli will make any set here wedding-ready. Wear the same suit twice with different jewellery and you've got two looks. For more ideas, see our sangeet edit or, if you're tempted by a drape, our wedding sarees.
Good to know
Is it okay to wear a suit as a wedding guest?
Of course. A well-chosen suit with festive jewellery looks lovely, especially at a sangeet, mehendi or day function.
What colours work for a sangeet?
Jewel tones, fuchsia, yellow and dual shades all look wonderful under evening lights.
Is there a colour I should avoid?
Many families prefer guests to steer clear of the bride's main colour, often red. If you're unsure, ask the hosts.
