Once the wedding rituals are over, the bride and groom’s families start preparing for the reception ceremony in which they invite guests over to congratulate the newly-wed couple. This is also kind of the first appearance that the bride makes after her wedding, and thus wants to look her sartorial best. For the guests, it’s time to celebrate the marriage of the couple and be a part of their new beginnings. Thus, there is a whole different feel to the reception. To induce the cheery vibe into your outfits as well, Wedding Affair recommends some ideas to dress up of an Indian wedding reception this season.
1. Indo-Western Gowns For The Bride
This is a look that every contemporary bride prefers. Either a gown that replicates saree pleats or lehenga effects, or an asymmetrical lehenga — these work quite well on the newly-wed bride at a reception. Deeper, festive shades like wine, purple, navy blue look perfect for such outfits.
2. Bandhgala For The Groom
A bandhgala with a short hemline and contrasting pocket square makes the groom look dapper. Asymmetrical collars and engraved buttons can elevate this look further. Whether clean-shaven or bearded, this outfit suits all the men.
3. Minty Colours For Women
When the bride must be dressed in heavy jewels and deeper colours, the women attending the reception in minty or pastel shades also stand out. Such colours also look quite dainty and delicate. Paired with dewy makeup and minimalistic jewellery, cooler shades in ethnic outfits look gorgeous on women.
4. Blazer And Bow Ties For Men
A sharp blazer in traditional grey, black or blue is one look that will never go out of style. A bow tie in contrasting shade looks particularly smart with this look. Often paired with white shirts, experimental colours like salmon pink or pastel blue shirts also go well with this look.
5. Delicate Lehengas For Bridesmaids
