What Should You Wear for a Sangeet?
A sangeet isn’t just any pre-wedding event—it’s the music-filled, dance-all-night celebration that kicks off the wedding festivities with flair. Think glitter, dhol beats, and everyone (yes, even your uncles) showing off dance moves. But the question that stumps most people: what should you wear for a sangeet?
Whether you’re the bride, groom, bridesmaid, or wedding guest, your outfit should strike that perfect balance between festive glamour and dance-floor comfort. Let’s break it down.
