Anand Karaj
The Gurudwara ceremony requires respectful, traditional attire. Brides typically wear red or pink lehengas with a heavy dupatta for covering the head. Grooms wear matching turbans with sherwanis.

Sikh weddings are a magnificent blend of spirituality, joy, and grand celebration. The Anand Karaj ceremony at the Gurudwara is deeply sacred, while events like the Sangeet, Churha, and Reception are vibrant and high-energy. Wedding Stylist India specializes in creating a styling narrative that flows beautifully across all Sikh wedding events — from authentic Phulkari dupattas and classic red bridal lehengas to perfectly coordinated turbans and sherwanis for grooms. We understand the significance of every detail, from the Kalire on the bride's wrists to the pagri on the groom's head.

Churha Ceremony
The bride receives her red and ivory bangles. Styling focuses on outfits that showcase the churha beautifully — shorter sleeves and complementary colors.
Sangeet & Ladies Sangeet
High-energy dance performances call for outfits that allow movement and make a statement. We style in bold colors, contemporary silhouettes, and dazzling accessories.
Reception
Glamorous, modern styling for the evening celebration. Couples often choose a contrasting color palette from the wedding day for a fresh, striking look.

Expert Advice
Styling Tips for Sikh Weddings
✦
1
The turban is the groom's crown — invest in quality fabric and a skilled turban stylist. We coordinate turban color with the bride's outfit for photos.
2
Phulkari work is the soul of Punjabi bridal fashion — authentic hand-embroidered pieces from Patiala or Amritsar are worth the investment.
3
Sikh ceremonies involve sitting for extended periods — ensure your lehenga is comfortable and the dupatta is pinned securely for the Pheras.
4
For the Sangeet, don't be afraid to go bold — Punjabi celebrations are known for their energy, and your outfit should match that spirit.
5
Consider a lighter outfit for the morning Anand Karaj and a heavier, more glamorous look for the evening reception.
