Special & Gorgeous Wedding Guest Dresses for the Entire Family!
When it comes to fashion, why should only the bride and the groom have fun? Here’s looking at wedding guest dresses for a cocktail party meant to cater to every single attendee of the wedding.
The cocktail night is the time when everyone can give the ethnic ensembles a rest. This night is when all fashion-ideas let loose with everyone experimenting with western trends in the best manner possible. This is also the time when the aunts can make a staggering entrance adorning ball gowns and the grandfather can go all out western with his Nehru Jacket as well.
A perfect opportunity for all the attendees to make their statement, wearing wedding guest dresses that speaks volumes about fashion. This gallery is infused with style tips and ideas for every individual attendee to pick a cocktail evening style that works best for him or her. So whether you are an aunt to the bride or a doting brother to the groom, our list has something for each one of you. Take a look.
1. The Grandfather
The senior most attendee of the wedding is no less of a V.V.I.P. at the wedding. Most of the grandfathers don’t go beyond getting their traditional Safari suits stitched for the occasion. But we suggest taking it a bit easy and adorning a shirt with a Nehru Jacket instead. If you want to go that extra mile, go ahead and match a pocket square with the shirt to accessorise the jacket right.
2. The Grandmother

If the grandmother of the house cannot get enough of adorning beautiful sarees and suits, then you can, at best, bring in western elements to upgrade her look. Stylise a matching unhooded jacket that she can wear over the saree or her suit to ante up her wedding guest dresses easily. This way, she will be free from taking care of that dupatta at all times and will be able to groove on the dance floor, undisturbed.
3. The Father

The organiser of the wedding functions can consider looking dapper in a colourful single-breasted suit as his pick among other wedding guest dresses options. A textured sky blue jacket with matching pants, rose pink shirt, a silk pocket square and a printed tie is what makes this look stand out among the rest. The father can be formal or break a leg on the dance floor in this comfortable avatar with ease.
4. The Mother
For the mother of the bride, the trend we have spotted lately is an Indo-western amalgamation. Right from the Indian designers to retail markets, you will find Indian silhouettes accessorised or embellished with western elements as the latest fad. So for wedding guest dresses for the mother, select a saree in delicate fabrics decorated with lace and embroidery work.
Ditch the old blouse style and instead match it up with a jacket or a blouse shirt and a set of contrasting diamonds to glamourise the look to the T.
5. The Uncle

Giving company to the father, the uncles too can decide on wearing double or single breasted suits as their wedding guest dresses for the cocktail party. The uncles can match the hues of their jackets and yet stand out by adorning multi-coloured shirt-tie combinations to the party. This way, they can unite as the ‘uncle’s only group’ while showing off their own individual style/colour preference at the same time, as well!
6. The Aunt
Right from contemporary sarees to the modern cut suit styles, the aunts can let their imaginations go wild for a cocktail party dress. Such indo-western wedding guest dresses are perfect for the occasion while giving the aunts the comfort of sticking to their traditional choices as well. Visit a designer studio or a boutique store to find the right match for you.
7. The Bridesmaid

Crop tops and skirts are the perfect dress-up combination for bridesmaids that they can wear to a wedding cocktail party. Whatever style of crop top and skirt you decide on wearing, make sure that you accessorise it right for the occasion. Not too much bling, not too subtle with the luxe, just the right combination of sparkle and minimalism is what goes perfectly well with such kind of wedding guest dresses.
The bridesmaid squad can either pick up a theme for their duo or can pick up a colour scheme to compliment each other well as a group.
8. The Groomsmen

Ladies, make way because the groomsmen have joined the party to charm you away! Wedding guest dresses for groomsmen need to make a debonair statement and that’s why your choice should be between a classy Tuxedo or a Jodhpuri suit. Keep the tones of the apparel basic, dark and solid for that neat overall look. Don’t forget to gel-set your hair for a dapper appearance.
9. The Kids

At a cocktail party, the kids just want to have some fun. So make sure your choice of wedding guest dresses for your kids cater to their comfort first. There are plenty of 3-4 piece suits for boys and Disney style princess dresses available for girls in many boutique shops. As the trend goes, you can also look at matching the kid’s clothing with that of the parents for that unique compliment-worthy twinning situation.
A cocktail party of any wedding celebration is that one occasion wherein everyone in the family looks at grooving to the tunes all night long. Indian silhouettes meet western trends and all the wedding guest dresses look nothing less than an international runway display of style. Take this list of trends as a base to conceptualise fashion notes for all the family members who are attending the wedding saga.
Let the photographer capture how in vogue your entire family is in, with each individual adorning wedding guest dresses that are a complete statement maker.
