The first round of festivals in your new home after you are married are always more special than before. Apart from making sure you spend enough time with your new family and doing the rituals that they follow, there is always extra pressure on newlywed brides to look their best. While the pressure can be daunting for some, the millennial brides enjoy dressing up for the special festivals and occasions.

Diwali being the biggest festival we follow in India, the preparation for it should be as big too. So, have you figured your outfit for the pooja, the card party, or when you go to meet relatives? Did you just forget that Diwali brings along various occasions for you to dress up? Well, being a newlywed bride, the pressure on you to look your best is a little more this year and we couldn’t let you fail at impressing your friends and family for sure.

While red is considered a festive colour, the fact that you’re a new bride gives you all the more a reason to choose it over the other colours. So here are a few designs of red kurta that we shortlisted for you. Go ahead and decide what you’ll wear on Diwali this year to totally own the fashion game like a pro.

Red Kurta Dress

Let’s start with one of the simple designs of our list. While comfort is key to the millennial bride, so is fashion. Therefore this simple red kurta dress is for our newlyweds that like to keep it light and breezy and yet creating an impact with their style and accessorizing.

Pro Tip- Pair a simple red kurta dress like this with a choker necklace or danglers and you’re good to attend a Diwali lunch date with your friends without looking too dramatic or OTT.

Now for the most important part of this auspicious festival, what will you wear for the pooja?  Well, we have something that fits perfectly for the occasion. This flared Anarkali with golden work embroidered all over when paired with a churidar and dupatta seem like a perfect outfit to wear for the pooja.

Pro Tip- Just as dramatic as your red kurta is, make sure you go in for a low chignon bun, beautiful gold Jhumkas and red bindi to complete your pooja look.

While we have discussed the smaller occasions enough, what about the Diwali party that is a big get together for the entire family? You must wear something elaborate yet fashionable to an occasion like that. Therefore, we think this short flared velvet Kurta with heavy golden work is a great option. Pair it with Banarasi cigarette pants and you’re good to make a fashion statement as no other bahu has ever made before.

Pro Tip- Going by how dramatic your outfit is, you must make sure your hairstyle matches it or beats it. Go in for a messy bun hairstyle, pair the outfit with gold stud earrings, and put on your stilettos to nail the look.

Amongst all the other designs of red kurta on our list, we think this to be the perfect blend of heavy and laid back at the same time. While its work is surely what we call as intricate and beautiful, it is the kaftan style of this kurta that makes it seem more relaxed and comfortable. So where do you think you could carry this contradicting blend of red kurta outfit? Well, we’d say a card party at your in-laws’ friend’s house would be just the right audience for it.

Pro Tip- Put on cigarette pants to match the outfit and go in for a simple hairstyle that blends well with the relaxed look of the red kurta.  Keep the jewellery minimal and makeup natural.

Hosting friends and family for Diwali dinner and do not wish to look like a tired and grumpy cook that has been preparing food all day? Well, we’ve found you a red kurta that fits in perfectly for the occasion. The beautiful red and golden Angarakha kurta with flared Benarasi pants are sure to make your grumpy face smile. Skip the dupatta to stay fuss-free while serving all the guests and make sure they have a blast at your party.

Pro Tip- Another tip to stay hassle-free at your own party while running around to make sure all goes as planned is to go in for a braided hairstyle that keeps your hair under control at all times. Antique jewellery and golden Juttis are more than enough to complete this look.

Gone are the days when fashionable only meant floor-length outfits, now is the time when every length works, be it short or long. This is the time when newlywed brides can have Patialas, shararas, dhotis, and churidars all in their trousseau at once. So why not wear something unique when going to meet and greet all your family and friends after Diwali. This sleeveless short red kurta with Zardosi work all over paired with Patiala and a delicate organza dupatta is just what your relatives need to see you in.

Pro Tip- A messy hair bun and a chunky pair of danglers are enough to make this look work. Keep your feet comfortable in Juttis as you might have a long day going around visiting all the near and dear ones.
