10 Yellow Outfits For The Haldi Ceremony

The Haldi ceremony is a very special wedding ritual of Hindus. The big fat Indian wedding cannot be consummated without this very unique ritual. During the Haldi ceremony, all the female relatives apply turmeric paste on the body of the bride and the groom. While this presents a chance for the groom to show his bare body, the bride still needs to wear something that is traditional for this ritual. So, it best to plan your bridal trousseau keeping Haldi ceremony in mind.

The Haldi ceremony is one of the numerous occasions of the Indian wedding for which the bride-to-be needs to plan an outfit. The Haldi ceremony takes place just before the actual wedding. If the 'mahurat' or the auspicious time for the wedding is in the evening, then the Haldi takes place in the morning. Or else, it happens a day before the wedding. So the bride-to-be is very close to the big moment at this time and her attire must reflect this.

Another unique feature of the Haldi ceremony is that the bride must be in yellow. For most cultures in India, the bride must be dressed in yellow for her Haldi. So, here are some exquisite yellow outfits that you must consider for your bridal trousseau.
