40 Indian Bridesmaid Outfits That You Can Cop From Nykaa Fashion This Wedding Season

One of the most versatile outfits out there is a saree. No matter what the occasion, a saree is never an odd choice; hence, it's our first pick for a bridesmaid outfit too. There are so many types of sarees, and every part of India has personalised them in their own way. What remains common though, is how functional, flowy, and comfortable they are without losing the festive feel of it all. A bridesmaid saree ideally means that you'll stand out, no matter which function of the wedding you choose to wear it to, while you still manage to run around and help with all the wedding tasks. 

The new IT outfit had to be on this list and should also be on your radar if you're a bridesmaid this wedding season. shararas and ghararas are super trendy and can be styled in many different ways. From pairing them with a cropped top or blouse to adding a shrug or jacket, there are so many ways in which you can adorn this style. It can be as loud, heavy, and festive as you want it to be, or as low-key, minimal, or basic as you want. What we absolutely love about them is how they look flattering on every body type and are a wedding buy that don't just sit in the wardrobe after one wear.

Pro-Tip: If you're a multi-functional girl, and need something that can be used in multiple ways, then here's a list of shararas that double up as dresses!

There's something about floor-length clothing that exudes main character energy, and nothing beats a full-length Anarkali. This Mughal-era clothing is as classic as it was when Anarkali wore it, and it makes a great outfit option for bridesmaids this wedding season. They usually feature a flowy gown situation with a cinched waist for structure—flattering all body types.

Gowns are considered one of the most popular options for Indian bridesmaids at cocktails or receptions, or even the main event. However, they're great for any other wedding function, such as an engagement, mehendi, or sangeet, just as much. All you have to do is find the gown with the right amount of flair and the same aesthetic as the function. A major plus for this type of outfit is how you can find western gowns just as easily as desi-esque ones.

No matter how impractical and heavy lehengas might be, they're always at the top of the list when it comes to festive wear, especially for weddings. Lehengas are usually associated with feel-good moments, as it's hard not to feel good in a floor-length, voluminous skirt, when all you want to do is twirl. So, yes, lehengas may be extra for some, but they're the ideal choice for any bridesmaid who wants to look glamorous even when she's in charge of hiding shoes and bringing in booze.

Relatively new to the wedding guest outfit scene, Co-Ord sets are the new 'It' thing to wear as a bridesmaid, especially if you want to come across as fashion-forward or #ontrend. You can never go wrong with a co-ord set, especially with brands now venturing into ethnic co-ord sets, making it the safest option to look for. Opt for a monochrome co-ord set or one with vibrant prints and patterns; whatever suits your style, and you're good to go.

If you think that dhotis are out of fashion, think again. This extremely versatile piece of clothing can be worn with anything from a cropped top and blouse with a shrug/jacket to the classic short kurti. We absolutely love Dhoti pants outfits because a) they can be dressed up or down based on the occasion, and b) even with all that glam and glitter, they're super comfy and wouldn't tire you out like other outfits may do.
