Ceremonies & Events
Key Punjabi Wedding Rituals We Style
✦
Sangeet & Ladies Sangeet
The dance-off! Bold colors, sequins, and statement silhouettes. We style for movement and glamour — your outfit should be as energetic as the bhangra.
Chooda & Kalire Ceremony
The sacred bangle ceremony. Outfits should complement the red-and-ivory chooda. We coordinate colors and sleeve lengths to showcase the bangles.
Wedding Day (Anand Karaj)
Traditional red or pink bridal lehenga with heavy Phulkari or zardozi work. Groom in a matching turban and embroidered sherwani.
Reception
The after-party calls for glamour — cocktail gowns, designer sarees, or indo-western fusion. Couples often choose a completely different color story.

Expert Advice
Styling Tips for Punjabi Weddings
✦
1
Punjabi bridal lehengas are often among the heaviest — ensure fittings include movement tests for sitting, walking, and dancing.
2
The double dupatta style is a Punjabi bride's signature — one for the head, one draped over the arms. We ensure both are pinned securely.
3
Groom's turban coordination is an art — the fabric, style, and color should complement the bride's lehenga perfectly.
4
For Sangeet, prioritize outfits that allow you to dance freely — avoid floor-length silhouettes unless you're comfortable in them.
5
Punjabi wedding makeup is typically bold and glamorous — coordinate your outfit's heaviness with your makeup look for balance.

Grand Punjabi Wedding Styling — From Roka to Reception
Punjabi weddings are legendary — the biggest, boldest, most joyful celebrations in India. Every event is an extravaganza, and the outfits must match that energy. At StyleBuddy Weddings, we've styled countless Punjabi weddings and understand that this isn't about subtle elegance — it's about making a statement. Heavy bridal lehengas, perfectly coordinated turbans, dazzling Sangeet outfits, and emotional Vidaai looks — we handle it all.
The Punjabi bridal lehenga is often the heaviest in Indian bridal fashion — sometimes weighing over 10 kilograms. Our bridal styling includes practical considerations like movement tests, comfort planning, and strategic pinning that ensure you look stunning AND feel comfortable throughout the day.
Shopping in Punjab's Best Markets
For Punjabi weddings, shopping in Delhi's Chandni Chowk is almost a rite of passage. Our shopping assistance guides you through the best stores — from Frontier Raas and Asiana Couture to hidden gems in Karol Bagh and South Extension. We negotiate prices, manage fittings, and ensure you don't miss the best options in your budget.
The Punjabi wedding is closely related to Sikh wedding traditions — the Anand Karaj ceremony, Chooda, and Kalire are shared elements. However, Hindu Punjabi weddings have their own distinct rituals and styling requirements that we customize for each family. We also bring deep expertise in Rajasthani and North Indian bridal fashion for families with cross-cultural celebrations.
