Budget Indian wedding outfit - BFing friendly

32 replies

Fortuny · 31/03/2023 22:02

Looking for ideas or advice on what to wear to my first Hindu wedding, it will be a very fancy full day event. I would love to wear a Lehenga but I just can't justify the cost for something I'll wear once, budget is ideally around £100. I'll also need to breastfeed my 7 month old.

I'm tall, size 14-ish, pale and pretty low maintenance. I know it'll be super glamorous, and I'd love to not feel like a postpartum flump.

Thanks, but none of the coordinating sets are available other than pink which really isn't my style

Can you get to Bolton?

There's a shop called house of Mika couture that sells really nice affordable Indian outfits.

They have a website too but the more range in store.

They have pics of their outfits on Instagram too. I've brought a couple of dresses from there. Skirts and tops for less than £100

What about a skirt like this with a short black crop top

I would go for this skirt with a wrap style breastfeeding top and a gold shawl/scarf draped on the shoulder.

Re: Hindu wedding timings, they're very long particularly the religious part of it. I'd find out when the reception is and go for that part. It depends on the religious observance of the couple, some go for the full 4 hour plus religious but and others have a shorter bit.

Guests come and go so it's not as formalised as a British wedding with the start times. Find out from someone in the wedding party regarding the itinerary and decide which part you want to go to. I've only attend the reception part now after attending one from the very start and it was a long day.
