My Favourite Indian Festive Looks

Now that the Indian wedding season is in full fervor, it’s time to get your wardrobe ready for the celebration. This is one time of the year when every Indian woman wants to look her “traditional” best, with stunning outfits and jewelry that define the exuberance and gaiety that the grand Indian festivals are so well-known for.

Like all the divas out there, this is perhaps the most awaited season for me as it gives me the opportunity to shine in my traditional avatar. Every look is a celebration for me, as I get to be creative with my zaris and gotas and heavy, ethnic jewelry as well. This year, I have styled some amazing looks that I can flaunt during the festivities. Each of these looks has a distinct vibe as versatility is my mantra for the Festive Look

Sophistication Personified

This ivory and gold lehenga from House of Masaba is pure bliss as it personifies sophistication in subtleness. This stunning outfit stands out without craving for attention. The checkered Chanderi dupatta in gold gives it just the right dose of shine. What I really love about this lehenga is that its color, which is so different from the vibrant hues that hallmark the Indian festivities. It is right for the bride who wants to steal the show on mehendi or reception party

I’ve teamed it with a pearl choker and earrings from Esfir Jewels. These pieces are a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, making them just right to complete this look. For hair and makeup, I’ve kept the look natural, with loose curls and just a hint of gloss on the lips.

Regal in Pink

Ace the festive look with this regal pink Anarkali from Reeth designer collection. A lovely refreshing shade of pink combined with royal blue makes a perfect pairing for the festive season. This charming attire is my favorite for the day look because it is bright yet soothing. And Anarkali has always been my favorite style because it is so feminine and flowy. Just the attire to wear as a wedding guest or for the sister-of-the-bride look for smaller functions!

For jewelry, I’ve picked these gorgeous contemporary pearl earrings by Esfir Jewels. The pair has just a hint of light blue color that contrasts yet complements the pink of the outfit. I’ve chosen to carry soft curls with this look. For makeup, it’s a pretty pink shade on the lips teamed with a blue eye shadow that creates some drama.

A Fashionable Fusion

This gorgeous green and gold lehenga skirt and sensuous blouse from Reeth makes a stunning pick for an engagement party or a dinner look. Further, I just went creative and paired the skirt with a plain white shirt for creating a less formal ensemble. The simplicity of the collared shirt sets off the richness of the lehenga to perfection.

For the formal look, I wore it with a pretty kundan necklace and earrings. With the semi-formal look, I wanted a statement jewelry piece and this heavy long kundan necklace served as the right choice to glamorize the look. Loose hair and soft makeup were my pick for this fusion festive look.

Go ahead and try one of these looks this festive season and I’m sure that you’ll love them as much as I do.
