In the morning of their wedding, bride and groom get smeared with haldi, chandan and rosewater by friends and family, showing wishes for purity and prosperity. You’ll usually spot the bride and her squad looking vibrant in yellow during a Haldi ceremony.

Raw silks and Chanderi silks can set the mood for the ritual just like your playlist for the day. Let us look at some haldi outfit ideas so that you look picture-perfect on your Haldi!
