Ethnic wear- Riot of colours

As for traditional Hindu weddings, the world is your oyster. If a saree is the call, there is a myriad of options available in terms of colours, textures, feel and budget.
The customary shades of red have given way to a rainbow of colours giving you a wide range to choose from. Go for the tried and tested evergreen pure silk with golden embroidery or banarasi silk and team it off with temple jewellery.
If you are in an adventurous mood try designer sarees in purple, green or black worn with backless cholis or noodle strap blouses. If a saree seems a little too much, Anarkalis can come to the rescue: grand and easy to handle, they are perfect for weddings.
Opt for A-line salwaars or flare net Anarkalis, or silk or georgette salwars embellished with heavy embroidery. Combined with the right accessories, they are absolutely lethal. Lehenga is a great option too, as long as it does not outshine the bride’s.

Adequate Accessories

Accessories can make or mar any look. Too much of everything can ruin the whole effect; it is not the only day for you to show off all your jewellery. Rather, try to keep it simple, elegantly understated and defined.
A single piece of heavy jewellery, an antique or a choker, against a grand saree will stand out more prominently than a boxful of baubles.

While choosing festive footwear most of us tend to sacrifice the comfort factor at the altar of fashion.
This might be disastrous on a wedding day which requires a lot of standing and walking during the course of the various functions. Picking the right shoes and sandals, thus, assumes equal importance as the dress selection, perhaps even more. In case of evening gowns and dresses, choose wedges or platform heels to complement your stunning ensemble.
Opt for stilettos only if you can carry them off without collapsing into an awkward gait halfway into the evening. For ethnic wear, there is a wide range of fancy footwear available.
Choose something that goes with your saree or anarkali, an ethnic sandal with slight heels will lend you more grace.
It is all about getting it right so spend some time conjuring up your attire before a wedding and be assured of receiving wonderful compliments on the day.
