As you know, the most important part of a wedding is the bride and her wedding trousseau. She has to shop for tons of different outfits for all the ceremonies at her wedding.

Forget about shoes and accessories, if you are getting married, the first step is to make a list of all the events, small or big, that you have to shop for. To know what you should look out for, keep reading to see the various Dulhan dress image options we have picked out keeping in mind the latest trends of pastels and day weddings.

There is a Dulhan dress image for every event starting from the Roka to the reception and the Pagh Phera as well. It will be an experience and we hope you could imagine your ceremonies as you keep going further. Happy journey!

Roka Ceremony

We believe that pink and its family have shades that suit every skin. For your Roka, choose a simple dress that does not overpower you. For the first function in the long line of wedding festivities, nothing works better than going for something that’s classy and chic and yet, subtle.

Engagement

Engagement is the ceremony that prompts the wedding festivities. Before this, the only ceremony was the Roka and that probably happened months before. We love a bride who goes all traditional for her engagement. This explains the Dulhan dress image we have shortlisted for this function. It has a mint green lehenga with heavy golden embroidery and Chikankari dupatta.

Mehndi

For your mehndi, you can go for green or go for a different colour that compliments your skin tone. We have another yellow lehenga option for you. You can choose between this one and the Haldi one. This Dulhan dress image has a Chikankari skirt, so if you are into this, you should go for it.

Sangeet

Sangeet calls for an outfit that is light and flowy with a flared skirt. We are in love with this light blue lehenga with a white dupatta. We think it is comfortable and easy to dance in. what do you think?

Haldi

It is that time in your wedding where your family will rub your body with turmeric paste so that you can have naturally glowing skin for your wedding. Yellow is the colour to go with for your haldi ceremony. That is why we choose this Dulhan dress image with a yellow lehenga. This is a heavy piece; you can also go for a maxi gown or suit in mustard yellow or lemon yellow.

Cocktail

You have to make a choice for your cocktail outfit. You can wear either a contemporary outfit or an Indo-Western one. We are going ahead with the former. We love a balance between traditional silhouettes and modern and classy embroidery. This mint-green lehenga is everything we described. The geometrical zigzag sequin work is just chic enough to make it our favourite!

Wedding Day Outfits

Blush Pink Lehenga With Pink Motifs

Keeping in mind our theme, we are sticking with light shades that will look gorgeous on a bright and beautiful day. There is a sense of serenity in this Dulhan dress image. The pink motifs stand out on the blush tone and give the necessary pop of colour to your look.

Pro tip: if you are also deciding to wear a light lehenga, make sure that there is some pop of colour in it.

Baby Pink Lehenga With Rose Motifs

The next lehenga is also in the pink family. It is a light pink ensemble with golden embroidery and hot pink roses. Just like this Dulhan dress image, you can also carry 2 dupattas. One that comes with the lehenga and the other you can choose that depicts your culture like Phulkari Dupatta for Punjab and Haryana, bandhani for Gujarat and Chikankari embroidery for UP and so on.

Reception

Reception is the last event where you have to play dress up and greet relatives. While it is a chill event for you and your family to enjoy each other’s company, you still have the pressure to look good. Always go for an outfit that you have not worn before so that there is some variety.

We choose a silver gown with an A-line skirt. As your dress will be heavy just like this Dulhan dress image, you can go light on the jewellery and hairstyle. If the neck is high, maybe wear your Mangalsutra and some earrings with matching Maang Tikka.

Pagh Phera

We love to go out with a bang. Pagh Phera is a Hindu wedding ritual where the bride and groom along with the groom’s family go to the bride's maternal house for dinner on the night of her Bidaai or the day after. It is the last ceremony where both the families will be involved, so dressing up is necessary.
