Rule number 1 : Your BFF is the bride. Do not wear the same Jodha Akbar lehenga she is wearing (not even in a different color). Let the bride take center stage.

Rule number 2: Take the oomph quotient up degree by degree.

Rule number 3: Always ensure you have the required accessories for all the dresses.

No more rules. Lets start with listing out your dresses.

1.The Mehendi 

The Big fat Indian wedding starts with the Mehendi ceremony which sets tune to all the beautiful fun filled ceremonies that follows. It is obviously important to create that first impression with the rest of the people wanting to know what you would be wearing next. Pay attention to venue and time of ceremony when choosing the dress. A late afternoon in the lawn with fun décor will require something much more light and flowy than the ceremonies that would be held in closed halls. Crop tops with skirts or palazzos, peplum tops with Dhoti pants, flowy drape kurtas looks absolutely awesome. It gives you space to dance and not make a mess of the mehendi. Take care not to clash with the clothes of the bride.sonam_shilpa_croptop_skirt_palazzo

The Sangeet is the perfect time for you to let your hair down and dance your way through the night. You need not be very traditional in your dressing and choose from a wide range of options like the jacket lehenga, cape lehenga. If you have a theme like Bollywood or royal which are the most popular sangeet themes in the Indian wedding you could wear a regular lehenga with a twist in the way you accessorize it.

For the wedding you need to go traditional come what may. Be it a splendid silk saree or a heavy lehenga bling it right. Check with the bride before you pick up the saree or the lehenga because if the bride has a plan of making her bridesmaids dress similar then you should give in to her wishes. Choose royal and ethnic colors to blend with the occasion.

The reception is a formal event. Wearing wacky or experimental clothes might lift people’s eyebrows. Play it safe in an Anarkali dress, lehenga or a saree. You can always go in for a formal full length gown too. This would surely create a stir. If your bride has a particular theme for the reception stick to it.

Most importantly enjoy the festivities as your BFF is getting married!!! For all the other small yet equally important functions stick to simple sarees or fresh salwar suits. Remember to carry essentials for the bride with you, being the BFF the bride is totally dependent on you for touch ups and stuff. Take a lot of pictures,  keep smiling you will surely look the Diva you are!!!
