Weddings are synonymous with traditions, celebrations, rituals, and a good platter! A wedding invitation always brings a smile to the face! With weddings around the corner, the first thing that comes to mind is the chance we get to choose, buy or just simply showcase the hot couture we have – especially the ladies!

Needless to say, there are so many do-it-yourself tips and suggestions streaming every second of the day on the social media platforms, that one might even question the need for salons and beauty consultants! So, why come to us at Jasmine Bains? Simply, because getting the right look as a guest for a wedding is easier said than done!
Although, today with the concept of Influencers, we get an idea about what looks good and is trending, however, it will not always look good on us!! Had all of us been able to style ourselves perfectly, then we all would have been influencers! That is where one of the best designers in Chandigarh, Jasmine Bains comes in, as we cater to create customized outfits, style, and look for the wedding day – even as a guest; so that we look the best on the day!

Thus, Jasmine Bains is your one-stop-shop!
While choosing the right guest outfit for a wedding we have a lot of choices like - lehengas, shararas, sarees, Anarkali suits, and gowns. And, features of the outfit like the texture of the fabric, length of the outfit, color, type of embroidery, etc, depending on several things!
Jawline and face structure
The face is the palette of the human structure. Wherever we go and whenever we go to an occasion, the first thing people notice is the face. And, the structure of our face is not in our hands as it is a God-given gift. So, instead of changing the natural shape of the face, we can always choose the right outfit to suit our face and jawline. Be it for men or women, not every cut, color, or fabric suits every jawline and face structure. For a round face, different fabrics work like whereas for oval face colors highlight the features. Hence, it is very important to first understand the face type, to get the perfect look.
Body Type
Again, our body is what gives shape to the outfit that we wear. It gives it a definition. Neither all of us are thin, nor are all of us fat. The Indian female body type is essentially voluptuous. Hence, we need to choose outfits that will accentuate the features subtly rather than making them look vulgar. For women who are on the slimmer side can always opt for solid colors off shoulders, or one-shouldered dresses, or fitted A-line dresses – heavily embellished with sequins or Zardausi or plain pastel chiffon colors. The ones who are a little on the fuller side can always opt for straighter voluminous cuts to make their shape slimmer with beautiful necks and avoid off shoulders or one shoulder. Everybody is perfect and pretty in it!
Skin tone
Skin tone plays a major role in selecting the color and fabric for an outfit. The majority of Indian women have a wheatish skin tone. Some might have a little darker wheatish tone. However, whatever the skin tone, it's best left natural. For instance, floral patterned embroidery, and light fabrics like georgette, chiffon, etc. suit the fair wheatish skin tone better. Whereas cotton and silk – in solid colors or pastels, bring out the beauty of the wheatish skin tone. These are just from what has been observed, however, every skin tone is beautiful in itself and one can always choose what one wants to wear. Being a guest you should look the best, and be a stunner! That’s the basic mantra!
Makeup
Gone are the days when you had to apply, literally plaster your face with kilos of makeup to look fair, even as a guest for a wedding. Whether westerns or Indian, fashion has changed! People are more receptive to the natural skin tone! Yes, one can always highlight the features of light beautiful cheeks, or a nice jawline, full lips, big bold eyes with touch-ups, and proper make up- but nothing heavy. Hence minimalistic makeup is preferred depending on the skin tone and the time of the wedding. Daytime weddings need a nude make-up look and evening weddings to need a drop-dead gorgeous look!
Age
Today, with the Indo-Western fusion outfits taking over, age hardly matters! But still, if you want to look your best, then just consider your age! As much as, one cannot stop aging, hence, rather than defying your age, it is better to accept it gracefully and dress to look elegant or funky – but in a good way! Try a different style, color, fabric of draping, or a different length of the dress as per your age. A cotton saree can be worn in different ways and it looks just as stunning on a 20-year-old as it looks on a 50-year-old! Age is - just a number!
Colors
Of course! The color of the outfit is one of the most important decisions to make; depending on what time of the day are you attending the wedding? For daytime weddings, light pastel shades like – Fuschia, peach, vanilla, etc in light flowy fabrics are more preferable. Not only do they make you look pretty but they are breezy and comfortable. For evening weddings solid colors and heavier fabrics work wonders! Also, the right color coupled with your skin tone, face structure, and body type will just make you a head-turner – even as a guest at the wedding!
Fabric
The right kind of fabric gives you the best look! The flow in material of the fabric determines how comfortable you are in the attire. You can choose the fabric depending on the ethnicity and time of occasion! If you are attending a Bengali or a Kannada Wedding then silk fabric is just the right choice for you – Kanjeevaram, Banarasi, Tassar –take your pick! For a Sikh or Punjabi wedding a nice heavily embellished lehenga, saree, or an Anarkali in light chiffon will give you that perfect look! For a Muslim wedding, you can always go for a nice glazed cotton sharara!
Wrapping up:
To sum up, the whole discussion, when selecting the outfit as a guest for a wedding, firstly, we need to understand what will look the best on us as per our body, face, and skin, rather than running blindly and following the look of some other celebrity or influencer! Secondly, we need to remember that we are all blessed with beautiful features and our couture should be selected to highlight those features instead of toning them down. Thirdly, we want to look elegant, smart, poised, charming, and pretty instead of tawdry and gaudy!

From TV shows to music videos, runway to your Instagram feed, scrunchies have the power to go where you have to tie hair in a more stylish way. In the late 80s and throughout the 90s, scrunchies were worn by most of the popular icons such as Mary Kate and Sarah Jessica Parker. Scrunchies cannot be replaced with any other hair accessory. It can turn your bad hair day into a good hair day instantly with very little effort. Not only in the style, but scrunchies are also very beneficial for your hair as scrunchies don’t give you a headache, it doesn’t rip out your hair like a hair elastic and of course, it looks very stylish in every possible way.
The scrunchie is a fabric-covered elastic hair tie used for medium to long hair types. Large, elaborate styles and low, unassuming forms are available in many different colors, fabrics, and designs. Although scrubs are most commonly used in hair, they can be worn around the wrist to enhance the outfit.
History of Scrunchie
Scrunchie was patented by Mommy Revson in 1987. She built the first prototype of Scrunchie because she wanted a gentler version of the metal hair ties used in the 1980s. Revson named the decorative hair accessory Scream after his pet toy poodle. The name Scrunchie was a natural evolution, as the fabric scrambled. After patenting Scrunchie, Revson spent much of his time in legal disputes, with both manufacturers and his own attorneys. In the 1980s and 1990s, scrunchies were especially popular, including larger, more elaborate versions. Scrunches gained popularity in the mid-2010s.
Revson’s main focus was to make something using fabric. Revson's Scrunchies were extremely popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Scrunchie became popular early in the '80s because they were a less damaging alternative to pulling up big hair. Plus, scrunchies came in many different colors and patterns, so they matched the colorful and over-the-top aesthetic of the 1980s. Celebrities such as Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Demi Moore, and Sarah Jessica Parker all appeared to be wearing them. The scrunchie even featured in a Sex and the City episode "Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little", where Carrie shouted, "No woman would be caught dead wearing a scrunchie at a hip downtown restaurant!" This piece of cloth-covered elastic that brought joy to many young women in the '80s and '90s was officially undone by the episode in 2003. Even male celebrities have embraced the scrunchie, actor Jason Momoa – probably the most famous to do it.
When it comes to hair accessories, the scrunchie can be a best friend of girls from everyday beauty to A-listers.
Regardless of her absence of sewing abilities, she went out and purchased a utilized $50 sewing machine and some fabric. It took Revson fourteen days, yet she at long last nailed the absolute first scrunchie in 1986. It was gold and black, sewed along with blue string. She said in a meeting the first name was Scrunchie after her dog who gazed at her while she played with her creation. It's anything but clear when precisely the adornment was authoritatively renamed to scrunchie, yet while Revson, in the long run, got a patent for her plan in 1987, she never masses created them herself. All things considered, she offered it to the brand, scünci, who acquainted the scrunchie with the majority.
Are Scrunchies good or bad for hair?
As per scientific studies, scrunchies being better as compared to regular hair ties. With typical hair ties or elastics, the hair gets tangled and pulled at the time of removal of the hair tie. When hair is worn in ponytails for longer period of time or while sleeping it’s also not uncommon to find more shedding. Unlike rubber band-like hair ties, scrunchies are made with flatter fabric that causes little to no tangle or pulls in the hair causing less ponytail pain and less breakage.
Scrunchies have made some amazing progress and are presently made including glossy silk to velvet, designed from plaid to polka dots, and decorated including pearls to gems, the times of the plain texture scrunchie are gone. Perhaps the greatest change from the first scrunchies from the 80s and 90s is the various sizes of scrunchies that currently come in. From scaled-down to larger than average, scrunchie brands and enterprising planners have taken the hair assistant higher than ever. It just bodes well as they're worn wherever from the workplace to Zoom calls, the exercise center, and the supermarket. Regardless of whether you as of now have your top choice, or you're similar to us, and consistently open to discovering more, here are scrunchies for all hair types and a few hints on the most proficient method to wear them.
