There is a certain magic in an Indian wedding; a celebration of color, craft, and culture. But when the wedding season arrives with the crisp chill of winter, that magic becomes even more spectacular. The soft swish of silks, the sparkle of sequins under fairy lights, and the orange glow of marigolds against the dusk-like sky make dressing up, in fact, its own form of joy.
This year, the wedding mood board revisits the opulence of rich texture, warm hues, and skillful craftsmanship. Smooth velvets, jewel tones, anarkalis, and layered dupattas make pieces that are equally warm and grand. From the glitz and glamour of Cocktail Night to the joyful vibrancy of Haldi morning, Lakshita's ensembles offer a whimsical blend of comfort and couture, striking a balance between tradition and modern femininity.
We bring you a comprehensive guide on what to wear to a wedding so you are always the best-dressed guest on the list!
Cocktail Night: Modern Glamour Meets Indian Luxe
The cocktail night marks the glamorous heart of the wedding: a soiree where Indian opulence meets contemporary chic. This is where you let your outfit speak with quiet confidence.
This season’s standout trend is velvet revival, plush co-ord sets, and long jackets in deep tones of wine, onyx, or plum, paired with metallic accents that shimmer against candlelight. Silk capes also add a layered, high-fashion edge, offering the perfect blend of warmth and movement.
Structured silhouettes, like front slit kurtas or flared co-ords, redefine festive eveningwear, making them perfect Indian wedding attire for the night that calls for bold and glam. Keep your accessories minimal but striking: a sleek cuff, bold studs, and metallic heels. Together, they create a look that is sophisticated, sultry, and season-appropriate.
Indira Blue Heritage Embroidered Co-ord Set
For an evening under the soft lights & winter air, this set hits all the right notes: the colour complements jewel tone trends, the silhouette offers ease without sacrificing elegance, and the embellishments sparkle just enough to feel festive without being overdone.
Mehendi: Earthy Glamour
Mehendi is where the festivities find their rhythm: intimate laughter, playful rituals, and hands adorned with beautiful, intricate designs. As the sun sets softly over the courtyard, it calls for a look that’s warm, comfortable, and quietly glamorous.
This winter, move away from florals and embrace earthy tones and rich textures. Think olive green, burnt orange, deep mustard, or antique gold hues that echo the season yet feel rooted and sophisticated. Kurta sets in luxurious silks, intricately embroidered, strike the perfect spot, offering the right amount of structure without the heaviness.
Anarkalis with intricate threadwork or zari detailing make for a regally traditional silhouette that never goes out of style. For a contemporary twist, add a contrasting dupatta for depth and visual interest.
Keep the accessories earthy too: like antique gold, vintage kundan, or oxidized silver. The goal is to look radiant yet relaxed, glowing with the ease of someone who’s enjoying every moment, one swirl of mehendi at a time!
Reya Olive Green Embroidered Suit Set
For the mehendi morning spender, with laughter and henna-lined hands, the Reya set strikes the note. The rich olive green chanderi silk fabric brings warmth and seasonal depth, while the soft sheen adds just enough festivity without going overboard. What truly elevates it are the details: dori embroidery accented with sequin details beautifully placed to catch the soft light!
Sangeet: Sparkle, Sequins & the Spirit of Dance
When the Sangeet arrives, so does the sparkle! It’s the night of performances, laughter, and a dance floor that never empties. The dress code here is clear: shine bright but stay chic.
This winter, jewel tones are reigning supreme! Think emerald green, midnight blue, ruby red, and amethyst purple. These hues not only complement winter’s cool palette but also exude regal sophistication. For silhouettes, embellished co-ord sets and velvet anarkalis offer comfort and statement appeal in equal measure.
Lakshita’s take on winter wedding guest attire blends intricate zari embroidery, subtle sequins, and dramatic sleeves, creating pieces that move beautifully with your moves. Pair them with kundan chokers or statement danglers. The goal of these winter wedding style ideas is to look radiant enough to steal a little spotlight without trying too hard.
Yamini Emerald Green Velvet Co-ord Set
The Yamini velvet co-ord set in deep emerald green is the embodiment of sangeet glamour. The plush velvet fabric offers warmth and a luxurious sheen ideal for winter evenings. Intricate zari embroidery ensures you sparkle on the dance floor. The silhouette with princess-seam panels ensures a flattering fit and effortless movement without compromising on grandeur.
Haldi: Sunshine Simplicity
During the Haldi ceremony, laughter flows freely, and the air glows golden. The styling mantra here? Comfort meets radiance.
This season, butter yellow, marigold, and saffron tones dominate the Haldi celebration, echoing the ceremony’s happy spirit. Choose easy-flowing kurta sets with delicate embroidery, crafted in light-weight georgette or cotton bends that allow you to move with ease.
Add a touch of trend with mirrorwork yokes or scalloped dupatta and style it with oxidized silver jewellery or floral bangle. The key is effortless charm, glowing skin, flowing silhouettes, and a sense of joy that feels as natural as the ceremony itself.
Evania Yellow Chikankari Suit Set
This on-trend butter yellow-hued suit set captures the joyous spirit of Haldi with its lightweight georgette base and delicate chikankari embroidery accented with zari work. The flowy silhouette of the sharas ensures a fun silhouette perfect for the festivities!
Wedding Day: The Grand Affair
The wedding day calls for timeless elegance- that perfect harmony of tradition and grandeur. It is where deep hues, opulent embroidery, and graceful drapes come together to mark the most awaited moment of all.
For winter weddings, rich tones like crimson, royal blue, and antique gold reign supreme, beautifully complemented by velvets or silks. Anarkali's with resham and zari detailing and opulent Gota Patti work create a look that is regal, yet elegant.
Layering continues to be a winter wedding style tip. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to use a heave brocade dupatta or your favourite shawls to not only add warmth, but depth and definition to your look. Finish with heritage jewellery and some fresh flowers in your hair for the perfect grand end to the celebrations.
Dua Maroon Suit Set
The rich maroon drapes you in regal warmth as the straight kurta comes alive with fine applique motifs, zari, and sequin highlights that shimmer under the soft lights. The velvet borders, gota pattis, and golden lace add heirloom elegance. What’s more? The set comes complete with a brocade potli!
Reception: Refined Glamour
The final chapter of the celebrations, the reception, carries a different kind of charm. After days of rituals and revelry, the evening feels poised, sophisticated, and wrapped in nostalgia. The dress code? Understated luxury with just the right touch of sparkle.
For this occasion, muted metallics, deep neutrals, and jewel shades take centre stage. Slate grey, mauve, rose gold, and onyx black are the season’s favourites as they are elegant, versatile, and endlessly photogenic! Straight kurta sets with tonal embroidery, velvet co-ords with metallic threadwork, or silk Anarkali's make for graceful winter-appropriate choices.
Accessorise with intention: sleek chokers, statement earrings, or a single heirloom piece that draws the eye without overpowering the look. The reception is all about celebrating love, so let your outfit speak in elegance and confidence.
Advika Maroon Velvet Suit Set
The Advika A-line suit set channels the festive grandeur with a touch of sophistication. Shimmering metallic and resham embroidery, intertwined with sequins and zari details, creates a flawless, heirloom-like brilliance.
Winter weddings are where fashion and feelings intertwine. The coziness of velvets against the skin, the glow of jewel tones under the evening sky, and the richness of handcrafted embroidery that tells a story of culture and craftsmanship.
This season, Lakshita celebrates that emotion, bringing together the timeless grace of Indian tradition with modern silhouettes that move with you. From warm tones to luxurious textures, every piece from Lakshita’s winter collection is designed to make you feel radiant, comfortable, and beautifully in sync with the season’s spirit.
Because, at the end of the day, dresses to wear to a winter wedding as a guest should make you a part of a story!
