Reception
The Knot

Wedding festivities don’t just end with the wedding itself. There’s much more to behold and enjoy! 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. These ideas are super fun while being extremely stylish.

 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. And wearing ethnic all the time is anyway going to be super boring. Plus, so many designers like Gaurav Gupta and Rahul Mishra have such amazing indo-western outfits to offer for your reception!Reception

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. This is so royal, that we can’t even….ughh!! So men, what are you waiting for? Invest in that super stylish bandh gala.

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.

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. Ties often get boring and too formal, so bow tie is your go-to for the wedding season.

Delicate Lehengas For Bridesmaids

Lehengas with lace linings, net layering and sparkle zari work are the ones that the bridesmaids must choose for the reception ceremony. Nude and pastel colours look amazing in such lehengas. Also, colour coordinating with the other bridesmaids is always a fun idea. Isn’t it?
