Indian weddings are known for their grandeur and extravaganza. In India, a wedding is no less than a celebration which continues for days. It feels like all members of the family whom we have not met for ages, wait for this day together and have all the fun in life. In short, in an Indian wedding, it is not just about the bride and the groom, rather it is also about the family, friends, relatives and guests who attend the wedding. In fact an Indian wedding is not just about people attending it, rather, it is about what they wear, what gifts they are giving, what they are being served in the food menus and how appealingly they are dressed up. Therefore, to look presentable is also important when you are attending an Indian wedding. And for this you need a lot of stylish and glamorous outfits as well. This is because, it is not just the wedding that you are attending, but also the other wedding functions taking place just before and after the wedding which you have to attend. Earlier the pre wedding functions were solely organised by the bride’s side, however, with the changing norms and with people becoming more wise, these days, the pre wedding rituals are being organised by both the bride’s and groom’s side. Some of the important pre wedding rituals are, haldi mehendi and sangeet. Therefore, when you are selecting your outfits for an Indian wedding, make sure that at least you have ten Indian wedding dresses ready with so that you can wear them for attending the functions both in the morning and the evening.
Out of all the pre wedding rituals, the haldi ceremony is the most auspicious one. Here the bride and the groom apply a face pack made up of natural ingredients, such as haldi powder which is also called turmeric powder, besan, milk and so on. This pack is applied to the bride and the groom to get a glowy, flawless skin before the wedding day. Since haldi/turmeric is the main ingredient, therefore, the ritual is named after it. Turmeric also has antioxidant properties and many ayurvedic benefits, therefore, this ritual has been celebrated in India since ages. In this function, very often, the dress code is yellow, therefore, women prefer to wear yellow coloured outfits, such as sarees, lehengas, Indian designer suits and so on.
