Pastel Lehengas Are In – Here’s How to Wear Them

Gone are the days when bridal and festive wear meant only bold reds and deep maroons. The new favorite on the block? Pastel lehengas—soft, romantic, and effortlessly stylish. Whether you’re a bride, bridesmaid, or a guest, pastel tones are making waves this wedding season, and for good reason.

At Hatkay, we're embracing this dreamy trend with a curated selection of pastel lehengas designed to help you shine with elegance and grace. Here’s how to wear them the right way:

1. Pick the Right Shade for Your Skin Tone

Pastels come in a range of shades—from soft mint greens and baby blues to blush pinks and lavender lilacs.

• Fair to medium skin tones glow in peach, powder blue, and soft lavender.

• Dusky and deeper skin tones shine in pastel rose, pistachio green, and dusty mauve.

👉 Hatkay Tip: Try a monochrome pastel look with minimal embellishment for an ethereal vibe.

2. Go for Delicate Embroidery

Pastels look best when paired with subtle and intricate embroidery. Think thread work, pearls, sequins, or mirror detailing. Heavy zari might overpower the soft tones, so keep it balanced.

👉 Our Fave: Hatkay’s blush pink lehenga with pearl handwork and net dupatta—it’s light, breathable, and stunning.

3. Balance the Look with Statement Jewelry

Pastels provide the perfect canvas to let your accessories shine. Go for contrast:

• Pastel lehenga + Polki or Kundan jewelry = Timeless.

• Add colored stones for an extra pop.

👉 Style Hack: Avoid matching pastel jewelry—it can wash out the look.

4. Keep Makeup Soft & Dewy

Your makeup should complement the softness of the outfit. Stick to:

• Nude or peachy tones

• Highlighted cheekbones

• Glossy lips

• Light shimmer on the eyes

👉 Hatkay Reminder: Your outfit should lead the look, not compete with it.

5. Pastels Work for Every Occasion

Whether it’s a day mehendi, afternoon pheras, or a sundowner reception—pastels fit in everywhere. For a bride, they offer a fresh alternative to traditional colors. For guests, they bring understated glam.

👉 Hatkay Suggestion: Our pastel green georgette lehenga with floral embroidery is perfect for daytime festivities.
