If you are impressed by Bhumi’s style, here are some interesting ways to style a sultry kaftan-style kurta for the wedding season. Whether you're attending a mehendi ceremony, sangeet night, or a daytime wedding event, here are some tips to help you create a stunning look:
Choose the right shade: While the pantone colour of the year is peach fuzz, one can choose variations of pink and reds in pastel and matte for a festive event. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and the formality of the event. Lighter pinks may work well for daytime events, while deeper shades can be elegant for evening affairs.
Pair with contrasting bottoms: For a traditional look, pair your pink kurta with contrasting bottoms. This could be a palazzo, wide-leg pants, straight trousers, or even a contrasting skirt. Choose bottoms in neutral tones like white, cream, gold, or even contrasting colors like navy or emerald green for a bold look.
Experiment with embellishments: Explore kurtas with intricate embellishments, embroidery, or sequins. These details can add a touch of glamour and make your outfit more wedding-appropriate. Beading or zari work can elevate the overall look of your pink kurta. Explore different kurta silhouettes, such as Anarkali, A-line, straight-cut, or asymmetrical designs. The silhouette can impact the overall vibe of your outfit.
Footwear matters: Pair your pink kurta with appropriate footwear. For a traditional look, consider juttis, mojaris, or embellished sandals. If you want a more contemporary feel, you can opt for heels or block-heeled shoes in neutral tones.
Hairstyle and makeup: Coordinate your hairstyle and makeup with the overall vibe of the outfit. For a more traditional look, go for braided hairstyles or loose curls, and opt for bold makeup with emphasis on the eyes or lips. A sleek bun or modern hairstyles can complement a more contemporary look.
