For Indian women living abroad, a family wedding is always something to look forward to. But choosing Indian wedding guest dresses like a lehenga or salwar kameez needs a lot more planning. You have to think about the weather, the venue, and the number of functions. This is where a salwar kameez<\/strong><\/a> comes into the picture. It is one of the most practical Indian wedding dresses for guests, be it for a wedding in Jaipur or in New Jersey. It is easy to pack, and you don’t need anyone’s help to wear it. Cotton salwar suits work best for haldi and mehendi. For the sangeet, go for a sharara or an anarkali, and save your silk suit for the wedding day. So, let’s look at how to pick the right salwar kameez for wedding functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Cotton Salwar Suits for the Haldi and Mehendi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The haldi is usually a morning function, and it can get quite messy with all the turmeric paste. So the best salwar suit for haldi is a light cotton or chanderi suit that you can wash easily. Yellow and orange are the most popular colors, but peach also looks really fresh. A straight suit or a palazzo suit<\/strong><\/a> will keep you cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the haldi is at a relative’s home in Toronto or London, a light shawl or a denim jacket is useful. A printed cotton suit is also a smart buy, as you can wear it again for Diwali gatherings back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
