What to Wear to an Indian Wedding | Womenswear | Nim’s Boutique

 

Nim’s Boutique offers a wide selection of Indian partywear and jewellery either online or in store at our luxury boutique in Leicester. Whether you want to buy a full readymade outfit or mix and match individual pieces, we've got everything you need when shopping for an Indian wedding.


It’s important to keep in mind that Indian wedding often spans multiple days and multiple events, each with a specific dress code. To keep things clear, we’ve divided this blog into sections based on typical events that you may be invited to as part of an Indian wedding. 


General Advice for Dressing for an Indian Wedding
Unless the bride has asked you to dress to a specific colour scheme, look for pieces with bright colours and embellishments that flatter your body type and reflect your personal style. Keep re-wearability in mind when you shop - finding pieces you’re comfortable in means you can wear them again and again!


Mehndi Parties
Mendhi parties are pre-wedding get togethers filled with fun. Guests from both sides of the family come together to get mehndi (intricate designs applied with henna paste) and celebrate the couple with music and dance. Our readymade Shahara suits are perfect for mehndi parties, with elasticated waists you can feel comfortable and confident dancing the night away in. 


Sangeet
Many will choose to host their mehndi party within their sangeet, a night of dancing and music with friends and family. This is where the excitement really kicks off, so dress to dance! Accessorise your readymade Shahara suit, ehenga choli, or salwar kameez with our selection of gorgeous, luxury jewellery, like our bangles, anklets, and jhunka earrings. 


Haldi
While many opt to wear yellow to match the theme of the day, our advice is to wear something that is simple, bright, and can get a little dirty! As it’s a daytime event, opt for light colours and be prepared to get splashed with turmeric!


The Wedding Day
For the wedding day, you’ll want to dress with both the ceremony and reception in mind. This day is your opportunity to go all out – many people opt for a suit, saree, or lengha with some sparkle in black, navy, grey, or a colour that suits your personal style. Our mix and match range is perfect for the wedding day as you’re able to select individual pieces to create an outfit you feel truly confident in.
