Say Bye Bye To Wedding Outfit Dilemmas! Everything You Need To Know About Western Wedding Outfits & Style Tips

Does it not become a bit boring to look at the same silk saree and shimmery lehenga day in and day out in all wedding pictures of the season? Does it want you to do it a bit differently, to stand apart from the crowd? If you are the kind who's up for a little mix and match experiment and make your big day even more special with a dash of glamour and fashion choices you must be remembered for (albeit in a good way), these ones for you.

Here's a list of western outfits you can wear in your wedding functions this season, to break the monotony and have fun dressing up all anew.

1. Spaghetti Tops

Usually, in tandem with being at ease, spaghetti tops can fit really well in your wedding trousseau including western outfits. Put it with a pair of printed dhoti pants in a complementing or contrasting (whichever works for you) colour. When it comes to accessories, you can go for statement ivory or oxidised crafted earrings and a nose ring. This look works well with morning functions say, Haldi.

2. Printed Suits

For anybody seeking ideas for western outfits for the wedding and is actually up for wearing a suit, there are options other than usual blues and greys. All you have to do is pick a pastel unstitched piece of good quality cloth. Go for a funky print, best to avoid jarring texts, and get it to tailor-made for your cut and fit. Pair it with a good watch and a pair of aviators or vintage glasses and you're good to go for a sunlight function. However, it can work for night functions equally well.

3. Indo Western Gowns

Another western outfit which can perk up your wedding trousseau with its Indian twist is the gown. You can pick a gown in traditional materials like silk, kalamkari, batik or block prints and mix it with western and even risque cuts and fittings, depending on your body type and comfort level. Pair it up with lightweight, preferably gem based jewellery like crystal earrings or statement necklace. Go for a hairdo suiting your neckline and dewy makeup if the gown is already too heavy. You are ready to rock a night time function like the Sangeet or even engagement.

4. Evening Dresses In Chiffon

You can go original with the choice of western outfits too. The trick is to pick an evening dress in chiffon, for the grace and ease of movement it provides, along with a settled look, with either knee or ankle length and sleeves suiting your arm build. Pair it with a good old embroidered pashmina in rich colours and bold threads and dance the night away with grace at your Sangeet.

5. Saree Dress

For a look of western outfits for your wedding trousseau with this good old fighter, all you got to do is pick a saree, probably in a rich colour like maroon and similar shades in chiffon or georgette or crepe silk (the cloth that suits you). Next, pick a strapped top in a lighter, complimenting shade and can be printed. Tuck it in the petticoat and drape the saree over. For the final touch, you can put on a see-through and light material shrug over it in whites or greys and adorn it with a Kundan or another such chunky Maang Tikka and bangles and rich lip shade. You can light up your Sangeet or engagement with this look.

6. Jodhpuri Pants & Printed Jackets

Another one for the men here! You can pick a pair of Jodhpuri pant in rich shades of wine red and violets in silk materials for this western outfit look for your wedding. Put it together with a light complimenting shade in cotton or other such breathable material in shirt. Team it with a silk half jacket over it for a richer look. You can go for a printed jacket or one with beads, mirror work or weaved with threads in silk or otherwise. Pair it up with either Mojri or leather sandals and good cologne and bracelets or watch and you're good to go for most of the night time functions, including the engagement.

7. Long skirts & Tank Tops

The final look on this list of western outfits is for the big event. You can pick a frilly or swirled skirt in brocade, mirror work, silk or block print and pair it with a tank top, hemmed with intricate lace trimmings and dupatta with rich works of hand weaves or mirror work. Put it together with classic Kundan jewellery, a simple bindi and natural look for make-up. This can work magic for if you are up for a beach wedding but with the traditional touch intact or a daytime wedding ceremony but will even work well for a traditional nighttime wedding ceremony.

With these ideas for western outfits, we assure you something with a fashion edge.
