The Haldi ceremony is one of the happiest and most traditional rituals of an Indian wedding. It is done to bless the bride and groom and prepare them for their big day. Family members apply a paste made of turmeric (Haldi), sandalwood, rosewater, and sometimes oil to the bride and groom’s faces, hands, and feet.
While the Haldi ceremony is fun and emotional, it can also be challenging for brides, as Haldi can leave strong yellow stains on the clothes. No matter how messy it gets, you cannot escape the Haldi ceremony. But there is one thing you can do: buy the right dress for your Haldi ceremony that is beautiful, comfortable, and lightweight.
And to buy a perfect dress for your Haldi ceremony, you will have to read this blog by Safaa until the end, as it lists some of the best Haldi outfits you can consider wearing at your Haldi ceremony and some helpful tips!
Outfit Ideas for Indian Women
Choosing the right outfit for the Haldi ceremony can be challenging, but not when professionals are here to help you. Here are some ideas to help you make an informed decision about what to wear at your Haldi ceremony:
Simple Sarees
Light cotton, vegan silk, or chiffon sarees in orange, yellow, tangerine, or green can make you look stunning at your Haldi ceremony. Also, you can easily move around in sarees while looking traditional and elegant without being too heavy. And if you plan to wear a saree at your Haldi ceremony, don’t forget to check out Coraline, a beautiful tangerine saree by Safaa.
Light Lehengas
If sarees are not your cup of tea, consider wearing a light and premium lehenga set at your Haldi ceremony. Lehengas can give you a festive look without the weight of heavy embroidery and are comfortable for sitting, moving, and dancing. Take a look at the Minara Lehenga if you think a light lehenga would be perfect for your Haldi ceremony.
Monotone Anarkali
A single-color Anarkali in orange, yellow, or pastels with soft detailing is a great pick for a Haldi ceremony. Not only will it be comfortable to wear, but one-tone outfits also look neat in photos. If you are looking to buy a monotone designer Anarkali, check out the Narangi Meral Anarkali for less fuss and more grace.
Floral Ghararas
A floral gharara set will perfectly fit with the cheerful Haldi vibe. They are trending nowadays and are traditional, too. Its loose fit makes it airy and easy to wear all day. For floral ghararas, you don’t have to go anywhere else. Just come to Safaa and buy Rahi, a stunning gharara, to make you look gorgeous at your Haldi ceremony.
What Not to Wear at Your Haldi Ceremony?
Everyone talks about what to wear for a Haldi ceremony, but no one focuses on what you should not wear to ensure you do not have wardrobe regrets or discomfort. So, here is what not to wear for the Haldi ceremony and why:
- Avoid wearing designer suits, heavy lehengas or sarees with lots of embroidery, as managing them can be hard while you are smeared with Haldi.
- Skip black, navy, or maroon outfits, as yellow turmeric can stain them, and it looks odd on dark fabrics.
- Do not wear anything you are emotionally attached to or that costs a lot, as Haldi stains are tough to remove.
- Fancy heels are a big no for the Haldi ceremony, as the floor might get slippery with Haldi and water, increasing the chances of a slip and fall.
