Engagement Ceremony
An engagement ceremony is the first step in any wedding. Engagement holds great importance as this is the day when the bride and groom exchange rings and are tied in a relationship where the journey of the wedding begins. The engagement dresses are supposed to be subtle with minimal detailing that looks trendy and gives a natural glow to your entire look.

Nikkah Day
Nikkah is one of the most important events of every Muslim wedding. Nikkah is the day when the bride and groom are officially tied in a knot of husband and wife for the entire upcoming life. Previously, nikkah used to take place along with baraat day but recently we have seen people arrange a separate event for nikkah day. The nikkah day is usually very simple and minimal. From clothes to decorations to arrangements everything on nikkah day is very delicate and intricate.
The outfit for nikkah is usually around soft and pastel colors of tea-pink, white, gold, lilac, and light green. We can’t deny the fact that there is something about minimal outfits that make you look so dreamy on your nikkah day. The nikkah brides mostly opt for a gharara with a short-length shirt that gives in such traditional and regal vibes to your entire bridal look. Style it with a choker set along with some classical jhoomar with natural makeup to reflect the perfect sophisticated look.
A lot of brides love to keep this nikkah look very traditional and old school. The nikkah outfits feature antique work with a touch of rust and gold for a perfect day look.
Baraat Ceremony
After the nikkah day, comes the baraat ceremony. It is the main event of the grand wedding celebration. This event is arranged by the bride’s family and they host the groom’s family. It is one of the most emotional days in a girl’s life when she has to leave her entire family and move towards a new home, a new place. Throughout our life, we have seen a barat bride in a deep red outfit, and trust me to the day it has no comparison.
Nothing can ever come close to a red bridal dress. The bridal dress is heavily embroidered making you look like a vision. Ever since the date of the wedding is confirmed, the girl starts to look for their dreamy bridal outfit. The bridal outfit is mainly about gold zari and dabka work with some modern touches to it to make it look regal and classy.

Walima Night
After enjoying all the events there comes the last event of the wedding series which is the Walima night. This walima reception is organized by the groom’s family welcoming the bride’s family. Walima is mainly an extravagant dinner for all the friends and family members. Walima day is a bit relaxed as there is no specific tradition that needs to be followed instead it is where the bride meets the guest and they take nice pictures while enjoying dinner. Recently, we have seen walima ceremonies being held in daylight which enhances the beauty of the event and the entire decorations. Day events always look super elegant and chic. Walima brides usually choose for a long flared maxi with a tail that makes them look classy yet trendy. Shades of lavender, beige, pink, and blue are best friends for a walima outfit. The entire outfit of walima brides is embellishments with subtle flower embroideries featuring a blend of sequins. pearls and zari. Tie up your hair in a messy bun or curl them for a perfect statement look.
