Engagement Dresses For Groom/Bride’s Sister

From the traditional and conventional kurtas to the striking fusion outfits that will not be forgotten for long, we’ve curated a list of some of the best engagement dresses for bride’s sister (or the groom’s)! On the occasion of your sibling’s happy day, here are some outfit ideas to dress up to the nines. 

Velvet Leanings

Winter weddings also bring with them the need to keep snug (at least a little bit) and so, when picking the outfits for sister’s wedding (or pre-wedding!), you need to ensure that your choice of attire doesn’t miss out that detail. Enter this chic silk velvet look with blooms to spare, one you can team with an elaborate shawl and ornate jewellery to make heads turn. 

Blooming Patterns

In another win for patterns albeit with a summer note in mind, this breezy iteration from Anita Dongre’s ateliers is bound to make everyone ask where you got it from. The faded colour serves as the perfect backdrop for the array of florals and needless to say, it’s a striking pick as an engagement dress for the bride’s sister or the groom’s sister. 

Ruffle Details    

Whether you are the bride’s sibling or the groom’s, it goes without saying that all eyes will be on you. So in order to make a fashionable statement, you could also go for a ruffle detail saree, a new-age version with an exquisite drape for a winning outfit. Not only that, but the vibrant colour of the six-yards is also eye-catching, should you wish for a further nudge!

Tulle Meets Details

Looking for the ideal engagement dress for the groom’s sister? We found just the one. This tulle offering in a deep, rich maroon colour with hand and machine embroidered details is a perfect outfit to pick for your brother’s pre-wedding functions. Complete with silk organza and handwoven chanderi, this distinctive outfit from designer Karan Torani is bound to make you stand out from the crowd. 

Sangeet Dresses For Bride/Groom’s Sister

Wish to be sangeet-ready with the best of looks there are? Don’t forget to take your jewellery and makeup details into account too. Here’s delving deeper into the varied winning picks for the occasion. 

Pop of Colour

Before the D-day come a plethora of functions that precede it, meaning you need to prep for them in style. And if you are feeling uncertain about what to choose, let us tell you that nothing beats the appeal of the Indian wedding dresses for the bride’s sister. Case in point: This vibrant lehenga set incorporating gota patti work and a chiffon dupatta. Need we say more? 

Embroidered Pastels

If you are someone who tends to love pastel hues or are looking for the same for a theme-based event, pick this embroidered iteration for your sibling’s sangeet ceremony. With elaborate thread work on the kurta, this set featuring georgette as the base makes for a win-win look for the pre-wedding ceremonies. Add ornate jhumkas and you will be all set for the celebrations. 

Fusion Drape

Still can’t decide amongst the many sangeet dresses for the bride’s sister? Close those multiple tabs and check out this contemporary offering in black. An ideal pick for those who like to take the unconventional route, the embroidery on the non-colour base makes it a stellar pick for a sangeet function at night. 

Off-Beat Touch

We don’t need to tell you that Banarasi brocade is a timeless classic that is always in vogue and so for the upcoming celebrations, it is something you can add to cart. Ditch the typical dresses for the groom’s sister to opt for this structured outfit in a faded pastel hue, one sure to make an impression at an intimate ceremony. 

Mehndi Dresses For Groom/Bride’s Sister

One of the most sought-after pre-wedding functions, the traditional mehndi ceremony favours hues of green over the other colours and like it goes, we picked looks worth stealing, ones that will do justice to your appearance for the ceremony. 

Co-ord Set

Amongst the array of dresses for the bride’s sister, the mehndi outfits are the most fun! If you don’t believe us, take a look at this experimental tiered sharara that comes with a crop top and features stunning foil print details. Unique, fashion-forward and endlessly versatile, this is the scene-stealing look you will want for your sister’s mehndi ceremony. 

Velvet Pairing

Looking to shop mehndi dress for the groom’s sister? We suggest picking this velvet kurta set in green if a winter wedding is on the cards for your brother. Bound to keep you warm and away from the chill, the green colour of this outfit is in sync with the traditional ceremony. 

Boho Look

Green, but make it different. We will tell you how. Given the wide range of outfits available for the taking, you shouldn’t have to worry about making a splash at your siblings’ mehndi. Still, going the boho route to make a mark has never been as easy as with this chic, flouncy top and dhoti pants set, ideal as a mehndi dress for the bride’s sister.

Winning Prints

Keep the silhouette simple, as seen in this traditional kurta set but instead, opt for striking print details that are ever so stylish. We, for one, are loving this green kurta with straps and the uniform motif placement throughout the set. With the ideal jewellery in tow, this works excellently for Indian wedding dresses for the bride’s sister.

Haldi Dresses For Groom/Bride’s Sister

For the haldi, yellow and colours in the nearby spectrum reign supreme. Experiment with silhouettes and textures, choosing from distinctive and traditional OOTDs to make for a fun and striking ensemble for your sister or brother’s pre-wedding celebrations. 

Asymmetrical Hemline

This winning outfit is one that will appeal to the minimalist in you. Featuring symmetrical stripes, the satin Punit Balana dress with full sleeves can be the unconventional haldi dress for bride’s sister you have been on the lookout for. Layer with an overcoat and towering heels for winter and wear solo for a day function during the summer season. 

Colour-Blocked Saree

That the saree is a failsafe got-to outfit for whatever the occasion might be is common knowledge but for those looking to go towards experimental drapes, this colour-blocked version with geometrical details stands out. Pick a sexy blouse to give the Indian wedding dress for the groom’s sister an edge. 

Skirt & Cape

Yellow is the colour of (mostly) all haldi outfits and in sync with what the pre-wedding function demands, you can pick this vibrant outfit. A lehenga with a cape detail blouse and embellishment, this is perfect to wear at your sibling’s haldi ceremony. It’s breezy, stylish and apt for the occasion; what’s not to love!

Flared Kurta

One of the most failsafe, best dresses for sister’s wedding (pre-wedding too) is the kurta. With its many iterations available in the market—A-line, asymmetrical, angrakha, anarkali and more—the kurta is a suitable option that never fails to impress. In line with that thought, you could add to cart this olive alternative with digital print emblazoned on it.
