Stylish And Elegant Dressing Up Ideas For The Bride's Sister

While you may not get huge budgets to shop like the bride and maybe not as much time as she would, there is still no reason for you to not put forward your best fashionable foot at her wedding. Dear sister's of the bride-to-be, to ease your wedding frenzy, here are some exciting ideas and trends to look fabulous when your sister (or your best friend) gets hitched.

Know Yourself

The most important thing is to not get carried away by the trends and copy what is in vogue blindly. Ask yourself if you can make the colour, silhouette or fabric work for you. Try it once, twice, and maybe more to be sure.

Opt for something that makes you feel comfortable while looking stylish. Light-weight and manoeuvrable outfits fit functions like roka, sangeet or mehendi where you can twist and twirl without being weighed down.

Also, dress according to your age and personality. Another most important thing to remember here is your body shape as well. Dress in designs and fabrics that flatter your body, without making you look extra heavy or skinny. There is no need to copy a trend that looks good on someone else.

Twist to the Traditional

Bid farewell to the highly traditional outfits and opt for a fusion look. A peplum choli with embellished lehenga is out-of-the-box and classy. Do not miss out on the sharara pants that are hot this season. Team it up with a sleek kurta in any playful colour like orange, pink or yellow. An open kurta with a crushed skirt works well for the function to be held during the day, to keep your look easy and breezy. A cocktail saree with a dainty blouse is a refreshing and a welcome change that you can use to your advantage.

Stylish Sarees

If you want to put your suits to rest, then go ahead and experiment with sarees. Young ladies, gone are the days when you thought the saree is just for older women. These days there are many interesting styles and designs that can flatter any young girl’s frame.

Ditch the traditional saree (or the boring draping style) and pick a stitched, pre-draped saree or a saree gown. These are ideal for the cocktail or the reception. Pick an edgy blouse, maybe in print or a heavily sequinned one, with a plain saree to make a statement. You can also pair a net saree with a full-sleeves blouse to be conventional yet not too covered up. 

Luring Lehengas

Channel the opulence in a lehenga. Pick out rich fabrics like a velvet choli teamed up with a raw silk lehenga. Go easy on the embroidery, but choose a colour that compliments your skin tone. Pastel tones combined with neon and light embroidery can be worn for a day function. Lehenga is an elaborate silhouette, so be careful with the colour and work chosen since you do not want to overshadow your sister- the bride. Also Read: 5 Smart Tricks for Joota Chupai at Your Sister's Wedding

Colour Code

Pick festive colours like crimson red, emerald green, hot pink in silhouettes like an anarkali or straight kurta. Colours always help to break the monotony of gold, silver and the bling. Pick vibrant colours over subtle pastel shades. Remember, you will be in the limelight along with the bride at all times.

Temple jewellery goes well with silks and kanjeevaram sarees. Polki and kundan looks stunning with both lehengas and sarees. Pick diamonds to go with a gown. Bold necklaces and cocktail rings are must-haves this season, so add them to your list. 

The Accessories

Do not carry your phone in your hand or hang around with your essentials in the party. It is best to carry a pretty clutch. Anything in bright colours, gold or silver with embroidery, tassels and other detailing to suit your mood and occasion would work well. Even potlis with flowers or coin work look really nice when you carry them with your saree or lehenga

If it is a winter wedding, stay fashionable but warm with light pashmina stoles in pastel colours. Shoes must be stylish but simple. Mojaris are an excellent way to spunk up your look if you are tall. Make sure that whichever shoes you opt for are very comfortable. Being the bride’s sister you would have a lot of running around to do.
