13 Winter Wedding Outfit Formulas for Every Budget

12. Lehenga + Tailored Coat Combo (Mid–Splurge)

A lehenga is celebratory and layered well for winter with the right coat. Choose a fully-lined lehenga skirt and a long, structured coat—either a tailored wool coat or a bandh gala-style jacket—that complements your embroidery. The coat should be spacious enough to slip on without crushing the lehenga’s silhouette. Carry a coordinating shawl for indoor-outdoor transitions and add closed-toe embroidered heels or juttis with a rubber sole for traction. Keep jewelry balanced so the outfit reads cohesive rather than heavy. Estimated full-outfit cost varies from midrange rentals to splurge purchases; renting the lehenga and buying or borrowing the coat can be cost-efficient. Tailoring is critical for fit; ensure the lehenga waistband sits comfortably over layers. For colder North American venues, a lined long coat or cape keeps you warm and photographs beautifully. For different skin tones and sizes, select lehenga colors and waist placement that flatter your shape and allow comfortable movement when you’re socializing or dancing.
