Occasion Dressing Decoded: Engagement, Mehndi, Baraat, Walima

Each wedding ceremony in South Asia carries its own mood and aesthetic. Engagements often call for semi-formal elegance, mehndi is vibrant and playful, baraat is regal and dramatic, while walima leans toward refined sophistication.

For engagement, opt for lighter fabrics with subtle embellishments. Mehndi outfits should embrace bold colors—yellow, green, orange—and allow freedom of movement. Baraat ensembles traditionally feature reds and maroons with heavy embroidery, while walima looks shine in softer palettes like silver, champagne, or pastel hues.

Zabric’s Wedding Wear collection offers curated ensembles for each occasion, ensuring brides and guests alike can find the perfect fit. Outfits like MAHA and LAYZA embody baraat grandeur, while IRAJ and MASHAL bring walima sophistication.

By planning your wardrobe around each ceremony’s tone, you create a cohesive yet varied bridal journey. Accessories, makeup, and hairstyles should complement the outfit’s vibe, ensuring harmony across the entire celebration arc.
