Hey everyone!
I am really glad that you all enjoyed reading my last post from my bridal diary, and thanks for motivating me to write more in the series.
When I had to decide upon an outfit for my Mehendi function, all I could find online and in stores was a variety of lehengas that I really didn't want to pick as I had already decided upon my wedding lehenga and just didn't want another lehenga that I would keep lying in my closet and I would hardly ever wear again.
That's when I explored a few more options and decided to get an outfit customised that would not only suit the occasion but I would also be able to wear later.
And if you are also wondering about what would be an ideal outfit for a mehendi function which is not a lehenga, here are a few ideas that you can explore :
This is one of my favourite outfits I spotted online this summer, an off-shoulder top with intricate embroidery and dhoti pants is a perfect pair for the modern bride who wants to keep it casual yet classy for the mehendi function.
While this is an all-black option, you can choose bright colours especially in contrast and skip the off-shoulder top for a more ethnic style like this stunning asymmetric kurta by Anju Modi.
Shilpa Shetty and Kishwer Merchant sure gave a lot of brides outfit-inspiration for their Mehendi functions when they were spotted wearing this cool dhoti skirt and off-shoulder top. The difference in the skirt is the way the drapes are done, and you can also choose a drape that suits your body type best.
I personally liked Masaba's design better as the skirt is way more structured and fits Shilpa Shetty really nicely. Your beautiful floral/gota patti jewellery would also go best with this outfit as it has an Indo-western appeal.
Another outfit option that you can pick for your mehendi function instead of a lehenga is a short skirt paired with either a classy shirt or a blouse; just like this Manish Arora skirt worn by Sonam Kapoor.
How about getting a pre-stitched drape saree and wear it without the in-skirt for a contemporary look? Flaunt it with a contrasting blouse, a messy bun and ethnic jewellery to be the star of your mehendi function.

| Hi-low hem dress by Anushree Agarwal |
A hi-low hem dress like this teal green one is a perfect pick for mehendi function especially if you are throwing a pool party or having a summer wedding. You can get one customised as per the theme of the function or any colour and design you desire.
The best part is it can be styled with a pair of leggings later for an ethnic look.

Inspired by this skirt style, I also got my mehendi outfit customised paired with an embroidered jacket blouse instead - to add more colour to the outfit. I will be sharing more images of my outfit in the next post.
