What to Wear to a Family Wedding? Timaraa’s Style Guide for Every Occasion

Weddings in India are a beautiful chaos of rituals, colors, music, and endless joy. And if you’re wondering what to wear to your cousin’s Haldi, your best friend’s Mehendi, or that big-fat family reception—don’t worry, we’ve got you. At Timaraa, we believe dressing up should feel just as joyful as the occasion itself.

This guide will help you decode the perfect ethnic outfit for every major Indian wedding function, all while staying true to your personal style.

1. Haldi Ceremony: Keep it Bright & Breezy

Style Tips:

• Opt for sunshine hues like yellow, mustard, or lime green.
• Flowy kurtas with minimal embroidery or printed co-ord sets work best.
• Keep accessories playful—think floral jewellery and juttis.

Timaraa Vibe:
Our Gulaal by Jai label has vibrant 3-piece sets and shararas that scream “Haldi Ready” without trying too hard.

2. Mehendi Function: Think Fun, Flirty & Fuss-Free

Style Tips:

• Choose colors like mint, peach, turquoise, or fuchsia.
• Co-ord sets and anarkalis with light embellishments let you twirl and dance without fuss.
• Go easy on accessories—statement earrings and a potli bag are enough.

Timaraa Vibe:
Explore pieces from Raya & Naaz for that Indo-fusion charm that fits Mehendi vibes perfectly.

3. Sangeet Night: Glam Up Without Going OTT

Style Tips:

• Rich jewel tones like wine, navy blue, or emerald green are perfect.
• Look for outfits with sequins, gota, or zardozi work that shimmer under lights.
• Style with sleek hair, highlighter, and block heels for dancing comfort.

Timaraa Vibe:
Our Sivara sarees and Indrya banarasi classics are just the right mix of drama and tradition.

4. Wedding Ceremony: Traditional Meets Timeless

Style Tips:

• Sarees in fabrics like Katan silk, Georgette with handwork, or Chanderi are timeless.
• Add a contrast blouse, heritage jewellery, and a gajra to complete your look.

Timaraa Vibe:
If you want to be the ‘best-dressed, non-bride’, our Indrya and Gulaal by Jai  labels are your secret weapons.

5. Reception: Sophistication with a Hint of Sexy

Style Tips:

• Choose champagne, rose gold, grey, or midnight blue tones.
• Aari Zardozi, Katdana or shimmer threadwork adds understated glamour.
• Pair with crystal earrings, open hair, and soft glam makeup.

Timaraa Vibe:
You can’t go wrong with a pre-draped saree or one of our elegant Sivara shimmer sarees.
