That is what we are here to address today. The debate of a lehenga or a coord set is always present. However, the bride must not worry. One thing to always remember is that as the bride, there is no wrong outfit for you. You are the one who sets the theme of any event.

Finally, we will see where you can find the perfect outfit. So, ladies, without further ado, let us get to it.
Understanding Your Style Needs
The first for deciding on wedding outfits for women is always understanding style needs. Every bride has a different idea of what they want and need from their pre-wedding outfits. They have different styles and a variety of inspirations. So, when you are trying to decide what to wear to each function, think about your style first. Moreover, not just your style but also what you imagine your wedding looks to be like.
There is an easy rule of thumb everywhere to be followed. If you have a minimal style every day, you will probably like a minimal pre-wedding look. Similarly, if you enjoy going all out with your looks, maximalism is for you. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. We have often come across minimally styled brides who wish to look extravagant at their wedding. This is where inspiration comes into play. That one Pinterest board is all that stands between knowing your style needs and forgetting about them.

Next, we must consider the scale of the events as well. As a bridal stylist, I know the importance of dressing according to the scale of the event. An intimate wedding in the hills will require a different scale of outfits than a grand city bash. But some pre-wedding are intimate and low-key by nature while others are not. So, your style requirements can also change according to each event. For such a scenario, we recommend making different Pinterest pages and inspiration folders for each event separately. This way you will know the vibe you want for each function, making your shopping decisions easier.
Choosing Between Lehenga And Coord Sets
Now, we get to the point of this article: what is better, a lehenga or a coord set? We have already discussed the foundation of what a wedding stylist thinks of when making a list of potential outfits. Next, we will think about some more key points to consider when selecting between lehenga and coord sets.
A bridal Fashion Stylist Considers The Event
There are multiple pre-wedding events that any bride needs to find outfits for. So, when choosing the correct outfit, a personal fashion stylist will recommend thinking of the event first. You need to categorize each function into one of two: intimate and comfortable or an all-out bash.
Often, for the more intimate events, brides prefer a coords set rather than a lehenga. These events are one of the few occasions where they can dress somewhat comfortably. So, it is better to oft for a cute coord set rather than a heavy lehenga. Similarly, an event with many people sometimes asks for a dresser look. This is where a lehenga can be handy.
The Time Of The Event
Nighttime events often require a more glamorous pre-wedding dress than daytime events. A sangeet is generally an evening function people prefer dressing up for. So, a glitzy lehenga is more appropriate. However, a morning haldi event is more appropriate for a coord set.
Of course, the common consideration often is to think about the lehenga design for every single event. But just like you can find a simple lehenga for the haldi, you can opt for a heavy and embellished coord set for the sangeet.

The Bride’s Comfort
A wedding is kind of like a series of events where a bride is going to be uncomfortable. As a bridal fashion stylist, it is your job to ensure that the bride fits the theme of the event and feels as comfortable as possible. A big factor in this is thinking of the things she is going to be doing at each event. An embellished coord set can be the perfect fit for a cocktail party with lots of dancing involved. It is also a formal yet dressed-down event. However, a sangeet also involves a lot of dancing. But it is a more dressed-up occasion. So, a lehenga that is as light as possible while being glamorous is the best option.
Bridal Styling Tips A Bridal Fashion Stylist Uses
For a bridal fashion stylist, the main reason our clients come to them is for, you guessed it, styling tips. Now, styling for the wedding and reception is easier. The brides generally have a fair idea of the blueprint they want to follow. So, we just help them take things up a notch. But, for pre-wedding events, the room to experiment is a lot more. So, let us see a few tips and tricks to make your pre-wedding outfit look fabulous.
Number one, never forget about colour theory. This is the most basic element of any outfit. So, your jewellery must complement your clothes. Next, your undertones do matter. Someone with warm skin will look washed out with silver jewellery, even after makeup. Speaking about makeup, you can go as simple or as glam as you want for the hair and makeup. But remember to save some of the good stuff for the wedding. Next, think about your shoes. They are an essential part of your outfit, especially for coord sets. Your shoes must also complement your outfit and should be comfortable for you. Flats are never a bad idea for most outfits. Finally, keep a bridal styling kit full of pins and tapes ready to come to your rescue. Some body tape can do wonders for your outfit and your comfort.
