To show the effortless way you can carry off a timeless style, nothing is better than a lightly embroidered net or georgette saree. These give you an element of young freshness, especially with a delicate border. Being lightweight and easy-to-carry, these sarees will be a lifesaver during the hectic days. Complete your look with some diamond jhumkas or chandbalis and lots of bangles. You can even keep your makeup subtle and girly, with some flowers in your hair for a completely fresh look. Try this ensemble for a mehendi or cocktail function.
If you want to keep it light, and yet look like a classic beauty, you could go for muted silk sarees. These sarees are not heavily embroidered or woven with bright gold threads. They have a muted pastel and soft look to them. These sarees give a regal look, and when paired with delicate jewellery in pearl and stone, like rani haars and cocktail rings, will make you look nothing less than a queen. You can flaunt this style for a day-time function like haldi.
