Weddings have so many rituals that one needs 3-4 different outfits. And a girl can never have too many clothes. So let’s get started for a journey filled with glitz and bling with various ensembles for a nikah.
Outfits to Wear to a Muslim Wedding
Anarkali with a Hijaab
These kurtas, beautifully fitted at the top and flared at the skirt, always bring out the beauty & femininity in a woman. Now you can find many types of anarkalis in the market. There is the normal kind where there are basic embellishments, one with a lehenga as a skirt, which gives them a princess gown look. The fabric and detailing of an Anarkali set will determine the occasion you wear it to. The more embellished it is, the more appropriate it is for your bestie’s wedding day. You can wear the more normally decorated Anarkali at the Manjha (Haldi) or the Mehendi.

Straight Pants with Kurti for Nikah
What is more appealing than an ensemble that flatters your body and makes you look like royalty? These blingy kurtas with straight pants are an awe-inspiring adornment to your wardrobe. Not only do straight pants flatter most body types, but they are a perfect fit for multiple events. Straight pants also add a touch of modernity to the classic kurta set. Paired with simple silver/gold oversized jhumkas & matching heels, they complete your look and make you ready for your friend’s Mangni (engagement).

White Saree for a Muslim Wedding
As opposed to most Hindu cultures, white is the most celebrated colour in Muslim culture. So take out that enchanting white you thought you would never get to wear. Walk into the nikah ceremony with your dazzling white 9-yard paired with simple jewellery that flatters the whole appearance. You can wear your white saree with a contrasting coloured blouse, like burgundy, to make a bold fashion statement. Another option is to pair the saree with a floral or embroidered blouse, adding more femininity to the whole look. If a white saree is not your style, you can easily swap it for a white lehenga or blingy suit.
