What to Wear as a
Wedding Guest
ਵਿਆਹ ਦੇ ਮਹਿਮਾਨ ਲਈ
A Punjabi wedding is rarely one event — it's a week of them. Here's what actually works for the guest functions: sangeet, cocktail night and the reception.
Save the heaviest embroidery for the reception, where photographs happen all evening under bright lights — georgette and organza suits with real thread or sequin work hold up best on camera. For sangeet and cocktail nights, where you'll be dancing, a lighter palazzo suit or a fitted kurti with a flowing dupatta moves easier and photographs just as well.
Every piece here ships stitched to standard sizes, or you can send your own measurements and we'll tailor it in our own unit in Hoshiarpur, Punjab.
What to wear, function by function
Reception
Go heavier here — georgette or organza with real embroidery or sequin work photographs best under the reception's bright lights.
Sangeet & Cocktail Night
Pick something you can actually dance in — a palazzo suit or a fitted kurti with flare moves better than a stiff, heavily-worked outfit.
Daytime Functions
Cotton and muslin suits with block printing or light embroidery keep you comfortable through long daytime ceremonies.
Colour
Avoid pure white and black (traditionally reserved for mourning) and anything too close to the bride's own colour — jewel tones and pastels both work well.
