Indian weddings are quite elaborate, honouring various cultures and traditions. Grand Indian weddings are like festivals with multiple wedding events – both pre and post-wedding. One such event is the Sangeet Ceremony. Probably the most fun and happening pre-wedding event with friends and family getting together to the beats of Indian music! Sangeet Ceremony involves singing and dancing with the close family and friends of the couple to celebrate the new journey of the couple as bride and groom. Some families still carry on the tradition of singing folk songs with dhol, in recent years, the ceremony involves doing choreographed dances on Bollywood songs and teasing the couple, lovingly!
Considering there is a lot of dancing involved at a sangeet ceremony, it is important to select proper attire to completely enjoy the event!
For brides: Since the Sangeet involves a lot of dancing, ensure your outfit is comfortable and easy to move in. A lehenga with intricate embroidery, mirror work, or sequins is a popular choice that captures the festive spirit of the event. Opt for vibrant colours like royal blue, deep green, or magenta, which stand out beautifully under the evening lights. For a modern twist, you can choose a fusion outfit, such as a lehenga with a crop top or a contemporary drape saree.
For Grooms: Grooms can embrace the celebratory vibe of the Sangeet with stylish and trendy attire. A sherwani in a bold colour or with intricate detailing is a great choice. For a more modern look, consider a designer kurta paired with a jacket, or even a bandhgala in rich fabrics like velvet or brocade. Colors like navy blue, emerald green, or deep burgundy are perfect for this event.
