From Patiala Salwar Kameez to sassy gowns, we have compiled some essential tips to make your ‘Din Shagna Da’ an unforgettable one!

Kirtan

Before commencing with full-fledged revelries, the most significant part in a Punjabi Wedding is seeking the blessings of divine god with positivity and grace. So, this is the first function where a bride needs to follow the queue of fad trends. Wish to ace the look with finesse? We are going to tell you how to match it well!

• Mainly, it’s the suit which works the best in such functions. A heavy georgette Patiala Salwar topped with a gorgeous kameez and a contrasting net dupatta can bloom the atmosphere with full glitz and glam.
• You can opt for a heavier Anarkali keeping the palette light and subtle.
• We suggest all punjabi bride's to keep the jewellery minimal, to keep the look serene, however, a light necklace or a simple diamond set would be an apt choice to add the glow!
