Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good Instagram caption for a wedding function outfit?

Short and confident works best, such as "Wedding guest, but make it fashion" or "Six yards of pure grace". For the bride, try "The lehenga I dreamed about, on the day I dreamed about."

What caption should I use for a wedding guest photo?

Try "Not the bride, but dressed like the main character" or "Five functions, five outfits, zero repeats." They are fun and work for sisters, cousins and friends.

What should women wear to different wedding functions?

Wear yellow or bright kurta sets for haldi, colourful lehengas or organza sarees for mehendi, sequins or ready-to-wear sarees for the sangeet, and your richest silk lehenga or saree for the wedding. Pastels and shimmer suit the reception.

Can I repeat an outfit at different wedding functions?

Yes. Restyle it with a different dupatta, blouse or jewellery. A saree can also be draped in a new style to look fresh.

Should I use hashtags in wedding captions?

Use a few. One custom couple hashtag plus 3-5 relevant tags is enough. Too many hashtags can make the post look cluttered.
