Wedding bells ringing in the air! A precursor to the big eventful wedding day of your life is your engagement party. Now that your engagement date has been finalized, and you now need to start your search for the perfect engagement outfit, you get into panic mode. You might browse through the internet or read some fashion magazines for the perfect engagement look. We feel you completely, which is why we have some tips to get the perfect engagement look, adding a tinge of elegance and grace at the same time. You can put your doubts to rest as we are here with some tips on how to get your perfect engagement look.
Go the traditional way with a sari:
Most of the culture-oriented families still hold a traditional engagement ceremony, and if your big day is surrounded by religious rituals, then you should better stick to ethnic wear. A golden zari woven silk saree or a beautiful net or even chiffon saree can do wonders. Sarees can never go wrong. Ever! You can even try different styles, cuts and picture yourself being photographed.
Lehengas – the safest comfort zone:
Lehengas have always been in fashion. Opt for a printed or lightly embroidered lehenga choli. Don’t forget the dupatta. Adding a dupatta will make you look even more elegant. You even try out an entirely new and different fabric, obviously keeping in mind the current weather. When it comes to lehengas, you have a variety of colour palette to choose from. From reds and vibrant pink, natural green to lemony yellows, the ethnic palette is just right for a celebration. You can even opt for pastel shades, or even some neon shades, making you look gorgeous!
The contemporary way:
To have a contemporary dress code for an engagement party is quite common these days. And if your big day is going to be a socializing party, then it is time to unleash the fashion addict in you and make an entry in the most impressive statement outfits. A sequined gown is a great choice. You can even choose a jacket suit with frills and flares; bouncy details will always make you look upbeat. The Indian version of evening gowns- a floor-length anarkali suit is surely gonna give you a voluminous look, without causing any inconvenience.
Try Indo-western look:
The basic fashion mantra is less is always more. You can even make a traditional lehenga look contemporary and sexy. Indo western dresses for an engagement party are totally in these days. Go for a heavily embellished blouse or a crop top with a plain skirt. You can even utilize the two pieces separately on two different occasions. The lightweight skirts are so easy to walk, not causing any strain on your back and shoulders! The mermaid cut skirt looks elegant or you can even try the A-line ones, which look traditional and gorgeous.
Styling is the key:
To complete your overall look, and to look picture-perfect, you must make sure that your hairstyle, makeup and jewellery compliments your outfit. Too much loading yourself with jewellery or wearing the wrong colour or style will totally let you down. Try to keep things subtle and elegant, by choosing the right jewellery pieces that will enhance your look.
Hello footwear!
Some of us are very comfortable with heels, while some of us just prefer flats. If you are the second one, comfortable wearing your flats, we suggest you try and go for kitten heels or short block heels. They will not only make you comfortable, but the fall of the ghaghra or the skirt or saree on the heel will be perfect. And those who love their stilettos, go ahead girls with confidence!
New beginnings are always specials, aren’t they? Your big day is a moment to rejoice, a day when you would want to look like the most stylish person in the entire room. Choose an engagement outfit that appeals to your choices and makes you feel comfortable and confident. You can make a coordinated outfit, matching your partner. It is your big day and it is your responsibility to make heads turn towards you! Stay stylish!
