Weddings in India are more than just ceremonies — they are grand spectacles of culture, colour, and celebration. From haldi and mehendi to sangeet and reception, each event brings its own mood, dress code, and aesthetic. And while heavy gold jewellery and embellished outfits have been the traditional go-to, modern wedding guests (and even bridesmaids) are now choosing a more wearable, statement-making option: 925 silver jewellery.
Whether you’re a guest, part of the bride squad, or even a sister-of-the-groom, here’s how you can style elegant outfits with timeless silver pieces — all curated with love by Vanika Fashion.
Why Silver for Weddings?
Gold is opulent, sure — but it’s not always practical, affordable, or versatile. 925 sterling silver, on the other hand, strikes the perfect balance between traditional and modern. It’s lightweight, easy to layer, skin-friendly, and never goes out of style.
What makes it wedding-ready?
● Stunning oxidised designs that pair with ethnic wear
● Elegant polish that complements festive hues
● Works beautifully for both day and night functions
● Reusable for other occasions — even everyday wear

What to Wear to Each Wedding Function (and How to Accessorize It)
1. Haldi Function: Keep It Light & Bright
Haldi is playful, messy, and all about bright colours like yellow, orange, and white. Comfort is key here.
Style Tip: Go for a cotton or chiffon co-ord set or a kurta set. Add a pop with silver anklets, a delicate bracelet, and oxidised jhumkas. Avoid heavy jewellery — the vibe is chill and cheerful.
2. Mehendi: Boho Meets Ethnic
For mehendi, you want to balance fashion and function. Think bold prints, flowy silhouettes, and jewellery that makes a statement without getting in the way.
Style Tip: Pair an Indo-Western outfit or an embroidered skirt-top set with a layered 925 silver necklace set. Add a silver chain with an evil eye pendant for a trendy protective touch.
3. Sangeet: Glam It Up
The sangeet is your time to shine (literally). While most guests lean toward shimmer and glam, silver jewellery can actually elevate your look with class and contrast.
Style Tip: Wear an embellished saree or fusion lehenga with oxidised statement jewellery. A choker-style necklace set, stacked bracelets, and silver earrings will have you stealing the show — without weighing you down.
4. Wedding Day: Elegant & Rooted
Whether you’re a family member or attending a traditional pheras ceremony, this is your moment for heritage fashion.
Style Tip: A chikankari saree or kurta styled with a long, oxidised necklace and jhumkas creates a graceful, rooted look. Pair with a neat bun, silver anklets, and a small potli bag.
5. Reception: Minimal but Impactful
Receptions often call for gowns or contemporary ethnic wear. Think muted tones, flowy silhouettes, and modern drapes.
Style Tip: A single-stone silver bracelet, minimalist pendant necklace, and studs complete the look without going overboard. Less is more here.
Jewellery Styling Mistakes to Avoid
● Avoid wearing everything at once. Choose 1-2 statement pieces and keep the rest subtle.
● Don’t ignore your feet. A beautiful anklet can completely transform your ethnic look.
● Avoid clashing metals. Stick to silver tones throughout your outfit for a cohesive appearance.
● Don’t go heavy for daytime events. Let oxidised pieces do the talking.
Bonus: Gifting Silver During Wedding Season
925 silver jewellery isn’t just great for styling — it’s also one of the most appreciated gifts during wedding season. Bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, even the bride herself will love a thoughtful piece that isn’t just pretty, but also practical.
