The sangeet night is a hectic yet fun night right before the wedding. The women of the family and their friends are all excited after hearing the ideas for sangeet ceremony. But they are also nervous about the arrangements for the wedding night. The haldi, sangeet, mehendi, wedding, everything commencing in the span of 24 hours is a tad bit overwhelming. The decorations, songs list, dance moves, everything must be ready by now. The only thing left is putting on the beautiful dresses for sangeet function and getting set to groove.

Key Components

Set the Bar just Right

Your mehendi dress may or may not be your wedding dress, depending on the time gap between the two events. In many cases, there is time for a change. So plan accordingly. If you are changing into fresh and latest Indian bridal dress after the mehendi function, or if the mehendi was held a day before the wedding, you need to be very careful in choosing the outfit. You need to look like a bride to be. But you cannot outdo your own wedding dress. So you need to set the bar at the exact spot, right below the wedding dress and the reception dress. The dresses for ladies sangeet that you are looking at need to be of a very different colour combination compared to the wedding dress.

12 Sangeet Function Dress Ideas

Sangeet function dresses can be fun if you use a little bit of imagination. Instead of sticking to the confused long shopping day routine, get together with your bridesmaids and friends and figure out how to add a personal touch to the evening.

  1. Disney Princess Theme

Wear the Cinderella dress or the Belle dress. Get your bridesmaids the Elsa, Anna, Rapunzel, and Merida dresses. Give them all an eastern touch with a lot of poof with embroidery on. Maintain the signature colours of the iconic Disney princess dresses to let the theme stand out.

  1. Bollywood Theme

This isn’t a unique idea, but it works. After all, you will be dancing to some Bollywood songs. The sangeet ceremony songs list contains mostly Bollywood wedding songs. You will pick up some steps from Kareena, Katrina, and whoever is your favourite. So, why not look the part? You can go for the Chammak Chhallo dress or the latest Kaala Chashma dress. If you want a royal affair, go for Pinga or the Dola Re outfits. You will look stunning in these dresses. You don’t have to find an exact match. Just take inspiration from these Bollywood outfits.

  1. Traditional Monochromes

Traditional outfits in red, purple, pink, and maroon will never go out of style. Go for monochromes but in different shades. Team up a royal blue blouse with a turquoise saree. You will look amazing. Add in a few moves and you are good to go.The conventional monochromatic style will be the perfect dress for ladies sangeet. Anybody can sport this style. But if you are the bride, make sure there are some contrasting embellishments on the monochromatic saree. Your own wedding sangeet function isn’t the place for you to go minimalistic.

  1. Contrasts

Matching colours in different shades is fun. It takes attention to intricate details. But if you want something more fun, go for statement colours. Team up a bright coloured blouse with a pretty safe coloured saree. For example, pink blouse with a blue saree, or a yellow blouse with a brown saree. This style looks good when both, the saree and the blouse are all plain, without any prints. But since they are sangeet function dresses, there must be some golden or silver contrasting sequins and embroidery on the borders of both the pieces.

  1. The Sassy Bride Outfit

The sassy bride will dance alright but she won’t let go of her bottle of champagne. She will wear whatever she is most comfortable in and she will make it look good. She will have her shades on of course. She is the one who will choreograph some new moves instead of just copying Bollywood dance moves. This bride deserves a poofy lehenga that she can flaunt for photographs. Her choli can be a short one. She has the abs to flaunt.

  1. Floral Prints

Floral prints are so out that you cannot wear them even if you love them. But your wedding, or your friend’s sangeet is the day nobody will dare to question your choices. This is the day you can wear the trendiest outfit during the haldi and change into something extremely corny for the sangeet. Bring floral prints right back in for this wedding season.

  1. Kashmiri Outfits

If you are performing to a song like Bumro, you need to have a Kashmiri outfit with all its accessories. If you are a Kashmiri yourself, it will be amazing if you wear a traditional Kashmiri dress for sangeet ceremony. Wear the trendiest outfits for the wedding day but keep it traditional to the roots for your sangeet function. Pose for the camera as many times as you can. These outfits are timeless.

  1. Rajasthani Outfits

Talking about timeless outfits, traditional Rajasthani dresses are the most popular. Rajasthani art is India’s pride. Flaunt a Rajasthani traditional dress with all the accessories that come with it.

Twirl around in the mirror dress. Your elegance will balance the vibrancy of the outfit. Don’t shy away from bold shades for lip colour.

  1. Multicoloured

Bicoloured or monochromatic outfits have become very common now. They look sophisticated alright. But a true fashionista can pull off multi coloured dresses for sangeet ceremony. The trick is to have varying amounts of every colour. If you have an outfit with five colours, make sure there are just two major colours and they both are tasteful. The brightest and boldest colour should be present just in a hint, to add to the dazzle of the outfit but not overdo it.

  1. Bedazzlement

Mirrors and colours are good but not enough. Sangeet dress ideas are supposed to revolve around the liveliest of designs. Wear something with a lot of sequins and stones. However, this does not go too well with multi coloured outfits, with the exception of Rajasthani attire. Go for a single or bicoloured outfit that is heavily adorned with tasteful bling. If that is too heavy or sparkly for you, go for the classic colourful embroidery. Nothing speaks sophistication better than embroidery. Go for handmade pieces and not the lame machine drawn ones. Your sangeet is a special event. It deserves a special outfit. Tie your hair in a fashionable braid and put some stoned clips in it. Keep the makeup minimal, focusing on the lips. Your look will be perfect.

  1. Rainbow Team

This is for a theme sangeet function dresses idea. You need prior planning with your bridesmaids for this. Let each bridesmaid wear one colour of the rainbow or more colours. Have different people wear each of the following colours. Purple, orange, yellow, dark blue, turquoise, bottle green, light green, brown, baby pink, and whatever more is your favourite. The bride should go for silver, golden, or white with gold and silver embroidery and colourful sequins.

Stand in the middle with the rainbow attired bridesmaids on either sides in a symmetrical order of shades. This will make for some of the best pre-wedding sangeet night photos. Practice some moves in formations. Let the bride not dance if she doesn’t want to. But have the colourful fairies dance around her. Don’t miss capturing the performance on a video camera.

  1. Pyjama Hour

All the heavy dresses, the tight hairdo, the uncomfortably high heels and dancing in them, must give way to a few minutes of relaxation. It is not possible until the wedding is over if the wedding follows the sangeet immediately. In that case, you will have to stall this pyjama hour for the day after the wedding, or you could sneak this hour after the haldi ceremony and before starting to get ready for the rest of the evening.
