There are two sides to every wedding. There’s the champagne-popping, dancefloor chaos, the "wait, who invited them?" energy. And then there’s the grown-up stuff—vendor calls, vows for life, and legal paperwork. Somewhere in the middle of all this madness is the registration day. It’s legally the one that seals the deal. It’s intimate and special—you’re signing on the dotted line, not twirling on stage in a lehenga. And honestly, that can be kind of refreshing. No 5am make-up calls. No extended family and friends or your grand uncle’s neighbour. Just you, your almost-spouse, and a whole lot of love. And while the vibe might be laid-back, it’s still your big day—so yes, you want to feel special, but also you can finally breathe. That’s where the humble-yet-chic kurta set comes in.
Think of it as your fashion exhale: comfy, elegant, and totally re-wearable. You might gravitate toward tailored fits, fluid silhouettes or traditional charm. The real fun? Figuring out which one screams you. Let’s get into it.
For the ‘90s girl
If you want a throwback to some of that big glamour energy of the ‘90s, this one’s got your name on it. There’s a charm and elegance to a well-cut salwar suit, the kind that makes your mum tear up (and your dadi nod in silent approval). Perfect for when you want to feel bridal without being extra.
Think deep reds with gold marodi embroidery that practically glows in the sunlight, or a soft mint number. Maybe even a dramatic organza dupatta for the drama without the weight. Top it off with heirloom jhumkas and a slicked-back bun with fresh gajra, and you’ve got yourself a registration-day look that doesn’t try too hard, but 100 per cent lands every single time.
