Indian Weddings Are Magical…
Having been born and brought up in India, I’ve attended my fair share of Indian weddings. In fact, just last week I attended another one! Indian weddings are nothing short of special; the colours, the dancing, the celebrations and of course the gorgeous outfits. With so many different rituals and events, they usually last a couple of days, but trust me, they are so much fun! A lot of you have been asking me what it’s like to go to an Indian wedding and although I covered some of it in my post yesterday, I have three tips that will ensure you are super prepared for when you attend an Indian wedding!
There was about a half an hour wait in 40 degree heat for my outfit to be steamed and my make up still remained in place thanks to my essentials!
1. Prepare Your Makeup For The Heat
If you’re attending an Indian wedding in India, prepare yourself for some heat! I always find that even if the event is taking place indoors, there is so much dancing and celebration, that you land up sweating anyways! Especially because Indian traditional outfits are quite heavy. There are a few makeup products that are perfect for long wear and for making your makeup last longer! These are the ones I swear by:
Dior Star Foundation: Lasts all night long, and probably the next morning too! The coverage is fabulous and I never leave for a trip without it!
YSL Mascara: The YSL mascara is waterproof and in my opinion sweat proof too! It lasts for ages and doesn’t drip at all. The perfect way to get those glam long lashes too without having to opt for fake ones!
Clarins Fix Make-Up Spray: I can’t stress the importance of this one enough. It’s the final step in my routine and I spray it on right before I walk out the door. It keeps my make up in place for hours and makes sure that everything looks as perfect as the moment I put it on! Plus, it gives your face this beautiful glow and doesn’t let your make up look powdery!
2. Bring Flats
I always start the night in heels but with all the dancing and running around, I always end the night in flats! So come prepared with a pair of comfortable flats to keep you going all night long!

My outfit was actually ivory and pastel pink. The pops of pink added the colour it needed!
3. Avoid Wearing White
It’s rare that we wear white to weddings. Usually, Indian weddings are a celebration of many colours, so opt for bright or pastel shades rather than white’s or black! One of my outfits has an ivory bottom, but a pink top, so I always have a splash of colour somehow!
Here are some perfect accessories for that splash of colour:
