1. The perfect add-on

An embroidered jacket has multiple uses. You can throw it over a dress to make it more traditional or even over jeans and a tank top. A mehendi function is the perfect place for one of these babies.

2. The forgotten necessity

When there’s a wedding, people generally overlook the usefulness of a dress. Remember that weddings generally have after-parties and while people just go in what they wear to the functions, a dress could be your real saviour.

4. The alternative to a sari

Unless you’re a pro, there’s no way you’re going to be able to tie a sari at a destination wedding all by yourself. The best option is a lehenga, it’s sexy, easy to wear and will let you dance with ease all night long.

5. Reception perfection

Sometimes receptions at weddings are western formal and sometimes Indian; sometimes they mention the dress code, sometimes they don’t. What this does, is leave everyone confused. So the best option is a suit like this one from Pankaj & Nidhi!
