Weddings in India are more than just ceremonies — they are a grand celebration of love, traditions, colors, and community. And while the bride is undoubtedly the star of the show, bridesmaids play an equally important role. From planning the bachelorette to dancing at the sangeet and standing by the bride’s side, bridesmaids light up every function with their presence and style.
At Priyanka Jain, we believe that every bridesmaid deserves to look and feel extraordinary. That’s why we’ve curated this ultimate guide to the best outfits for bridesmaids at Indian weddings, covering ideas for every function. We have everything you need, whether you're searching for something classic, modern, or completely different.
Mehndi Function – Vibrant & Playful Picks
The mehndi ceremony is colorful, relaxed, and fun-filled — so your outfit should reflect that vibe. Choose breezy, lightweight fabrics and silhouettes that are easy to move in (you’ll be getting your hands henna’d after all!).
Outfit Ideas:
-
Printed Anarkali Sets with quirky motifs and mirror work.
-
Sharara Sets in shades of yellow, green, or fuchsia — adorned with gota patti.
-
Boho Lehengas with floral embroidery and cape-style dupattas for that extra flair.
Style Tip: For a dreamy, natural appearance, go for loose hair, floral jewelry, and minimal makeup.
Sangeet Night – Glamour Meets Comfort
Sangeet is where the glam begins! With dance performances and hours of celebration, you need an outfit that sparkles but also allows movement.
Outfit Ideas:
-
Lehengas with sequins in rich tones such as wine, navy, or emerald.
-
Fusion Gowns with ethnic embroidery or Indo-western drapes.
-
Dhoti Pants with Crop Tops & Capes — a chic, modern choice that’s also dance-friendly.
Style Tip: To fit the bright vibe, go bold with metallic eyeshadow, a sleek ponytail, and statement earrings.
Haldi Ceremony – Sunshine & Simplicity
Haldi is all about love, laughter, and turmeric! Comfort is key here — expect a lot of haldi play and candid moments.
Outfit Ideas:
-
Cotton Kurta Sets in mustard, ivory, or pastel hues.
-
Flared Skirts with Off-Shoulder Blouses for a playful yet traditional look.
-
Ruffled Sarees or pre-draped sarees for something easy yet eye-catching.
Style Tip: Keep it minimal — oxidized jhumkas, fresh flowers in your hair, and a no-makeup look will work wonders.
The Wedding Day – Elegant & Understated
The big day is here, and while it’s the bride’s moment to shine, bridesmaids should complement her look without overpowering it. Think regal and graceful with a touch of glam.
Outfit Ideas:
-
Classic Silk Sarees in complementary colors like blush pink, sage green, or lavender.
-
Pastel Lehengas with Subtle Embroidery for a soft, romantic vibe.
-
Banarasi Anarkali Sets with dupattas featuring zari borders — perfect for tradition-lovers.
Style Tip: Match your outfit’s embroidery or tone with the bridal palette for perfect photo coordination.
Reception – Modern & Glamorous
The reception calls for sleek silhouettes and luxe fabrics. It’s the time to experiment with contemporary cuts while keeping it elegant.
Outfit Ideas:
-
Satin or Velvet Gowns with a trail or asymmetric hem.
-
Pant Sarees or Jumpsuits with ethnic accents for a bold, modern twist.
-
Monotone Lehengas with pearl or mirror detailing.
Style Tip: Pair with stilettos, a structured clutch, and sleek hairdos like buns or straightened hair for a high-fashion look.
Coordinated Bridesmaid Looks – Because #SquadGoals Matter
Coordinated outfits don’t have to mean identical looks. Think of a color palette or embroidery theme where each bridesmaid shines in her unique way, yet complements the rest.
Ideas:
-
Mix and match styles in the same fabric and color tone.
-
Choose the same lehenga skirt and let each bridesmaid choose a different blouse style.
-
Opt for ombré shades within the same color family.
At Priyanka Jain, we offer custom coordination services for bridesmaids so that every member of the squad gets an outfit that fits her body, her vibe, and the wedding theme.
