About Mayoun & Haldi Dresses

The mayoun (also called ubtan) is the Pakistani pre-wedding ceremony where turmeric paste is applied to the bride. In Indian tradition, it is known as haldi. Both celebrations share the same joyful spirit and call for yellow, the colour of radiance and new beginnings.

Yellow is the most popular choice, but warm gold, mustard, lime green, and yellow-green combinations also look gorgeous. Popular styles include embroidered shalwar kameez, shararas, trouser suits, and lighter lehengas. Comfort is important since the ceremony involves lots of group participation.

Guests are also encouraged to wear yellow for a beautiful unified look. We create bespoke mayoun dresses and haldi outfits in your choice of style and measurements. Get in touch via WhatsApp or visit our Manchester showroom.
