The sangeet ceremony is one of the most fun celebrations of the big Indian traditional weddings. It is a night where both the bride’s and groom’s families come together to enjoy the union of the couple with lots of dancing, music, and good food. To ensure that you are comfortable while you dance the night away, it is indispensable for you to pick a designer lehenga for sangeet that embodies the spirit of the occasion, is easy to carry, and combines tradition with a modern touch.
So, if you are a bride-to-be who wants to create a style statement while being comfortable, here are some shopping mistakes to avoid when buying a sangeet lehenga.
Pick a Lightweight Lehenga
Since sangeet ceremonies are all about dancing and merry-making all night, it is recommended for brides to pick out a lightweight sangeet lehenga. When shopping for sangeet lehengas, prioritise picking a lightweight lehenga that won’t weigh you down. Avoid heavy embroidery such as zardozi and cut-dana for your sangeet lehenga. Instead, opt for threadwork and sequin embroidery to impart a regal yet lightweight look to your lehenga.
Comfort Over Everything Else
Avoid sangeet lehengas that are out of your comfort zone. Revealing blouse designs, unique lehenga silhouettes, or high slits might be in fashion, but these are not meant for everyone. Steer clear away from fabrics or embroideries that may add to your discomfort. Pick a designer lehenga for sangeet that matches your style and is made from high-quality fabric and embellishments only.
Get the Lehenga Skirt Tailored to Your Height
Avoid adding extra inches to your lehenga skirt to compensate for your sky-high heels. While high heels can elevate your sangeet lehenga look, it is not feasible to dance all night wearing super high heels. And when you take them off, you will have your lehenga skirt dragging along the floor, making it impossible to dance and enjoy. Opt for medium-high heels (2-3 inches) to avoid any uncomfortable experiences.
Avoid Trail Lehengas
While trail lehengas look very stylish, they are not the most suitable option for sangeet lehengas. Trail lehengas have a lot of extra fabric added to them and can restrict your dance movement. A-line lehengas with minimum can-can are your best bet for sangeet lehengas.
Pick Bright Colours
While pastel hues are in fashion, pastel-coloured sangeet lehengas are not the best option. Brighter hues such as deep reds, blue, green, orange, pink, etc., are more suitable for sangeet ceremonies as these colours show up more in pictures and videos.
