The Ultimate Wedding Guest Guide: What to Wear When

How to Style Your Jewellery for Haldi, Sangeet, and Reception

Indian weddings are a marathon of events, and each requires a different vibe. If you are staring at an invitation wondering what accessories go with a Haldi outfit versus a reception gown, we have you covered. Here is how to style your accessories for every ceremony.

The Haldi & Mehendi: Playful & Lightweight

These daytime events are colorful, messy, and fun. You want to avoid heavy necklaces that might get in the way of the henna or turmeric paste.

• • The Look: Go for lightweight Jhumkas or flower-motif studs.
  • Style Tip: Since outfits are usually bright yellow or green, contrast them with our Faux Polki or pearl-based earrings for a soft, daylight-friendly sparkle.
    

The Sangeet Night: Time to Shine

The Sangeet is all about dancing and glamour. This is the time to bring out the bling.

• • The Look: A statement Maang Tikka is a must-have for a Sangeet! Pair it with Chandbalis that swing when you dance.
  • Comfort Key: If you plan to be on the dance floor all night, skip the heavy neckwear and let your earrings and Tikka do the talking.
    

The Reception: Modern Glamour

The reception is usually formal and often requires a fusion or gown-style look.

• • The Look: Swap traditional gold for our Diamond-look Cubic Zirconia (CZ) or modern Choker sets.
  • Style Tip: If you are wearing a gown or a lehenga with a deep neckline, a Crystal Choker draws the eye up and adds instant sophistication.

How to Mix and Match Without Overdoing

With so many categories at MILA’S POP-UP SHOP—including Kundan, Temple Jewellery, Kemp Stone, and Faux Polki—you can easily mix styles without feeling repetitive. For example, pair a traditional Temple-inspired necklace with simple studs for the wedding ceremony, and later reuse those same studs with a cocktail dress for an evening party.

Pro Tip: Browse our "SHOP BY OCCASION" menu to easily find curated collections like Haldi & Mehndi, Sangeet & Reception, or Festive & Traditional that match the energy of each event.

Simple Budget-Friendly Styling Tips

• • Keep Balance: Let one piece shine—wear bold earrings with a simple necklace, or vice versa.
  • Comfort First: Especially for long ceremonies, choose pieces that are lightweight and secure so you can enjoy every moment.
  • Re-wear Potential: Pick jewellery that you can wear again for other celebrations. Many designs at MILA’S POP-UP SHOP are versatile enough for festivals or formal looks beyond weddings.
