What to wear to a walima
The walima is the wedding’s composed final act — hosted by the groom’s family, usually the most elegant evening of the week. Where the mehndi is loud and the barat is grand, the walima rewards restraint: liquid fabrics, softer palettes, and embroidery that reads as texture rather than sparkle.
Our walima pieces sit in champagne, ivory-gold, powder blue, sage, dusty rose and deeper wine, cut in tissue silk, organza and fine net. Brides at their own walima traditionally choose pastels or ivory-gold; guests are free across the range, keeping just clear of the bride’s chosen shade.
Walima dresses: questions we are asked
What colour does a walima bride wear? Traditionally pastel, ivory, champagne or soft gold — a deliberate contrast to the red of the barat.
How formal is a walima? It is usually the most formal evening of the wedding — full-length, fully worked ensembles are appropriate.
