Weddings aren’t just a single-day affair—they're a multi-day celebration of love, culture, and style. And when it comes to style, lehenga cholis steal the spotlight at almost every function. From vibrant mehendi looks to glamorous reception ensembles, the lehenga remains a favorite for brides, bridesmaids, and wedding guests alike.
At Hatkay, we believe every moment deserves a stunning outfit. Whether you're the bride-to-be or part of the bride squad, here’s your ultimate guide to lehenga ideas for every wedding function—each curated to match the mood and magic of the occasion.
🌿 1. Mehendi: Go Bright, Bold, and Breezy
The mehendi ceremony is full of laughter, music, and color—so your lehenga should reflect that energy. Choose lightweight fabrics like georgette, chiffon, or organza, and go for playful shades like lime green, yellow, turquoise, or fuchsia.
✨ Style Tips:
-
Mirror work, floral prints, and gota patti are ideal.
-
Crop top lehengas or jacket-style cholis are great for comfort and movement.
-
Keep accessories minimal and fresh—think floral jewelry or statement earrings.

💃 2. Sangeet: Glam It Up
The sangeet night is all about dancing and dazzling. This is your chance to go bold and glamorous with sequins, metallics, and statement embellishments.
✨ Style Tips:
-
Opt for lehengas in jewel tones—emerald green, navy blue, wine, or silver.
-
Play with silhouettes: fish-cut lehengas or high-slit skirts add drama.
-
Pair with heels and bold makeup for the ultimate party look.
🌟 Hatkay Pick: Midnight blue sequin lehenga with a cape-style blouse—perfect for twirling on the dance floor.
💛 3. Haldi: Light, Lively, and Lovely
Haldi ceremonies are all about simplicity and tradition—with a messy splash of turmeric, of course! Choose a light lehenga in yellow, ivory, or pastel hues. Fabrics should be easy to clean and breathable.
✨ Style Tips:
-
Embroidered or printed lehengas are ideal for haldi.
-
Ditch the heavy dupatta; go for a one-shoulder drape or cape.
-
Add playful bangles and fresh flowers to complete the look.

👰 4. Wedding Ceremony: Traditional Elegance
The wedding ceremony calls for a classic, richly adorned bridal lehenga. Think heavy embroidery, zari, zardozi, sequins, and luxurious fabrics like silk, brocade, or velvet.
✨ Style Tips:
-
Traditional shades like red, maroon, or gold never fail. You can also explore soft pinks and ivories for a modern twist.
-
Layer with a double dupatta—one on the head, one draped around the body.
-
Go all-out with bridal jewelry—mathapatti, choker, nath, and bangles.
👑 Hatkay Pick: A deep red velvet lehenga with antique gold zari and double dupatta styling—regal, radiant, and timeless.
💍 5. Reception: Modern Royalty
For the reception, bring your most glamorous self. This is where you can switch things up with sleek silhouettes, lighter tones, and modern detailing.
✨ Style Tips:
-
Shades like silver, rose gold, powder blue, or champagne are trending.
-
Opt for minimal embroidery or stonework with statement cuts.
-
Experiment with blouse designs—strapless, corset-style, or asymmetrical.
💫 Hatkay Pick: Soft grey silk lehenga with pearl detailing and a structured blouse—chic and contemporary.
