The ultimate wedding wardrobe checklist: Essentials that will get you through every occasion

March 14, 2022 | The Liva Lifestyle

When it comes to weddings, the multiple ceremonies are surely an extravagant affair but also require you to wear exclusive looks for each event without compromising on comfort. While the process can seem tiresome to the unacquainted, we’ve taken inspiration from LIVA’s trends and put together a style guide about building a capsule wedding wardrobe that will make for sound sartorial investments. After all, as you head out to celebrate friends, family, and relationships, it’s only natural to dress up in outfits that are  both a head-turner and a true manifestation of your individuality – something that’s as momentous as the occasion. 

So, before you set out to revamp your wedding wardrobe, scroll through LIVA’s style guide and take inspiration from trends that will make for statement-worthy outfits. 

Colours of the season 

After a year that’s upended our lifestyles, to say the very least, everyone is looking to go all out on celebrations – it means hopping on the trend bandwagon and opting for a vivid colour palette that resonates with the liveliness of the occasion – be it morning ceremonies or evening rituals. Think regal reds, blush pinks, festive yellows and even scintillating sparkles. If you’re looking to bring out the vibrancy of these colours even more, choose colourful potlis and jutis to go along with your outfit. 

Fabrics that transcend occasions  

This wedding season, we’re all looking to ace the comfortably cool factor without compromising on the elegance ethnic wear brings. When it comes to merging sophistication with a relaxed ease, LIVA’s fluid lines and subtle sheens come to mind. If you’re heading to an at-home Roka or engagement party, we suggest opting for lehengas or Anarkali suits crafted from vivid-hued fabrics. For outdoor soirees, consider going dramatic with dobby-detailed fabric choices. Wondering what to wear for a ritzy reception event? You can walk the contemporary path by picking jacquard-weave fabrics or even bring in a little bit of the conventional essence by off-setting the textures with the simplicity of pastel-coloured drapes. Lastly, you can never go wrong with a festive staple. Whenever in doubt, consider going for fabrics with a blend of viscose and silk that are sure to lend a regal charm to your ensemble. Whatever be your style, LIVA houses an expansive range of fabrics that’s sure to impress even the discerning few. 

Styles to take cues from 

It’s no new news that a new-age bridal trousseau should consist of pieces that can be easily restyled. While the year saw the return of shararas, we’re here to help you take your dressing game up a notch. For those of you who believe in weaving traditional with modernity, consider flaunting a Sharara-saree because these six yards of grace combined with a flowy fit are bound to leave your guests awestruck. If you want to go timeless, pick three-piece lehengas and get creative with how you drape the dupatta. Or, get your blouse to feature exaggerated sleeves and even ruffle-trimmed ends for an added panache. For millennials looking to channel their inner trendsetter, wear pantsuits crafted with ethnic prints and textures and be rest assured to make a fashionable statement. 

Prints and patterns

If you’re finding yourself less ecstatic about wearing the same-old textures and prints, it’s time to hit refresh and consider a fresh outlook for your wedding wardrobe – you’re celebrating, after all! While floral outlines and Ikat prints make for classic choices, elevate the glam quotient of your ensemble and opt for reinvented paisleys, modern baroque, and even modern geo patterns that are all going to lend a creative edge to your outfit. Consider silhouettes crafted from foil prints and motifs if you want to leave some extra space for sequins and glimmer.

LIVA fabrics 

End of the day, we’re here to remind you that special occasions call for personalised choices that bring out the best in you while being the perfect token of remembrance for whenever you look back. And if you’re looking for a one-stop-shop, then explore LIVA’s range of expansive fabric collections that are a nod to what new-age fashion represents – styles that are high on comfort as on panache. Whether you want to dress it up or keep it minimal, these fabrics form the perfect base layer. Consider giving them a classic edge with traditional embroidery or even a playful essence by adding ruffles and sparkles. All you have to do is look for the LIVA tag on your next shopping experience to know what it’s like to be a trailblazing trendsetter in fashion that’s comfortable.
