30 Trendy Sangeet Outfit Ideas for the Bride || What to wear at your sangeet ceremony

Indian weddings are  huge celebrations and the sangeet night is where the actual celebration and dance masti happens. If you are the kind of bride who loves bollywood and dancing this pre wedding function is what you would be most excited about.

Sitting down in a stunning outfit to watch your cousins, friends, uncles and aunties perform is what you will be required to do. But your outfit needs to be stylish yet comfortable because it is your own wedding and you will also be twirling away on the stage at some point of the night. When finalizing your sangeet outfit make sure to choose something which is breezy and dance friendly.

Lehengas make for gorgeous sangeet outfits but if you want to experiment a bit and try something different, here I bring to you a selection of some of the most unique outfit ideas for the sangeet function.

30 Trendy Sangeet Outfit Ideas for the Bride

#1  Lehengas with Capes

Dupattas are an important part of ethnic wear but if you want to dance the night away dupatta can be quiet a hassle to handle. If you ask me what would be a perfect sangeet outfit idea I would say cape without doubt. Sheer capes over lehengas or floor length gowns are glam, comfortable and hot in trend.  The cape trend is perfect for sangeet as you can easily go dupatta less in a lehenga with cape style blouse . Now stop worrying about the dupatta drape and enjoy your sangeet night without compromising on style.

#2 Saree gowns

Sarees can make for great sangeet outfits but only if you are used to wearing saree. If you are not a big sari fan and cant get the pleats and pallu to stay in place then the sari gown is the best option for you.

#3 Chevron pattern lehengas

If lehenga is what you want to wear for the sangee then it is better to experiment a bit. You will be wearing embellished lehengas for wedding and maybe even reception so for your sangeet opt for something unique like chevron pattern lehengas



#4 Lehengas with cape sleeve blouses

The cape trend isnt new one and it has been very popular at weddings this year. If you want to try the cape trend in a new innovative way, then floor length cape sleeves are for you. This trend has a very chic feel to it and looks gorgeous when you take a twirl on the dance floor




#5 Ornate embellished Sarees

The market is flooded with new drapes and silhouttes but not everyone like to experiment crazy. If you want an elegant traditional look for your sangeet then saree can be your best bet. Since you are the bride opt for heavily embellished sarees with high neck blouses for a royal classy look. Add a blingy clutch, dramatic eye makeup, soft updo, huge earrings and dazzle away because it is your night to shine.

#6 Blingy embellished, beaded or sequinned lehengas

The sangeet function is a night party and sparkles work amazingly for an event like this. If you are looking to wear a lehenga then make sure to pick one which is sequinned and dont worry about going overboard because you are the bride and you are allowed to look like a disco queen.  If you are worried that a lot of bling will over whelm you then keep your styling simple like a sleek straight hair, nude makeup and minimal accessories.

#7  Long kurta with lehenga

Wearing the lehenga with choli for all your wedding functions isnt a very good idea. if you want to experiment a wee bit then swap the choli for longer kurta at your sangeet event. Long silk kurtas paired with simple lehengas are quiete a rage this season and they make fabulous sangeet outfits where you totally skip the dupatta and dance your night away.



#8 Indo western gowns

Western ball gowns with an Indian twist are the most preferred sangeet outfits. These gowns look glam and are easy breezy to dance around in .


#9 Lehengas with long jackets

Another option if you want to go dupatta  less for your sangeet is to opt for a long flowy jacket over a simple lehenga choli. A sheer embellished floor length jacket in same or contrastig colour will make for a gorgeous sangeet outfit idea.

Tips on choosing your perfect sangeet outfit || What to wear at your sangeet ceremony

  • Sangeet is one event where you should really consider following trends instead of going the safe tried and tested route. Even if you re wearing a popular silhoutte like a lehenga or saree make sure to add an interesting element like pair your lehenga with ruffled dupattas, or go for tasseled or cape blouses with your saree. Cold shoulder, belted drapes, Tiered lehengas are other hot trends you can consider.
  • Dancing and having fun is what the sangeet night is all about. Make sure your outfit is dressy yet comfortable enough for you to dance the night away. Opt for lighter flowy fabrics which are easy manage and will also look fabulous when you take a twirl. Printed lehengas are you best bet.
  • Skip the dupatta. These days there are a lot of ethnic indian outfits which allow you to go dupatta less. When dancing it is great to not have to worry about your dupatta drape. Sheer apes, attached dupattas or belted dupattas look chic and dont cost you your comfort.
  • Sarees can make for an ideal sangeet outfit but only if you are good at managing the six yards and are confident of carrying it off. Make sure your pleats and pallu is properly pinned and also cosider adding a sleek belt to your saree look for a glam effect and to keep pallu in place.
  • Sangeet is more of a night event so choose darker or deeper colours like midnight blue, maroons, olive greens or black.
