We’ve given you
a complete guidefor how to stay stylishly warm at Indian winter weddings, ideas of
how to pair a jacket with wedding clothesand shown you
gorgeous blouse designs that will keep you cosy.
But a lot of these ideas were meant for wedding guests. Brides, of course, need visual inspiration that’s specific to their needs!
So we culled out the best winter wedding outfits we spotted on Real Brides, and added some pieces you can go buy from wedding stores in India. Real inspiration you can use!
Mehendi Function
The outfit should be fuss-free so that you can have your Mehendi applied, eat, drink and have fun with your closest friends and family members
Full sleeve Benarsi silk anarkali
High-neck embroidered jacket-style crop top with high-waist raw silk lehenga (that has tons of layers!) – every one of these elements adds warmth to the outfit

Cocktail Evening or Sangeet Party
You might want to ditch the dupatta and opt for full-sleeve warm fabric pieces (that you can layer with thermals underneath). Choose something that makes it easy to dance freely!

Wedding
You might not be able to wear a full-sleeve blouse, but you can choose how you drape your dupatta (or sari’s pallu!) and the fabrics you pick. Remember, silks and velvets are your best friends on this day.

Reception
This is the one day where you can go for fancy dupatta draping styles, and go for fashion over comfort (assuming your reception is going to require you to mainly stand in one area and meet guests)
