Ultimate Guide to Dress up for Indian Summer Wedding

If winters are all about high neck blouses and long sleeved cholis, summer is the time to show off your gym toned arms and flat tummy. Ofcourse going the revealing and sexy  route isnt appropriate at indian weddings so you need to play subtle and never cross the line . If you are still confused, then read on this guide and you are sure to grab eye balls (in a  good way) without compromising on comfort .

Opt for Light colours:

The sun hates competition, it is already very hot so it is best to dress up in light colours in summer. White is ofcourse the best colour for summer but for weddings it is a big NO. Try other cool colours like yellows, ivory, pastels and mint.

Dress in Breathable Fabrics: Heavy fabrics like velvet, silk and brocades will add to the heat so choose light breathable fabrics. Fabrics like georgette, chiffon , linen and cotton with light embroidery are ideal for summer weddings.

Prints and Light embroidery: Indians weddings are all about sequins, shimmer and shine but things have got a lot more subtle in recent times. These days even brides are opting for pastel shades and bling free lehengas and you dont want to come across as someone upstaging the bride, so your best bet is bright colours, print play and light sequins and embroidery.

Avoid Skin show: Indian weddings is not where you should dress sexy, reserve your sexy  blouses and thigh slit gowns for other occasion. It is okay to show a bit of skin but dont go over board especially at weddings where religious stuff like puja and nikah happens. You can wear sleeveless, low back  or strapless blouses at the reception if you think you can carry it off in an elegant way.

Go floral: Summer is the best time to wear pretty feminine florals. Many indian wedding designers have incorporated floral patterns in fresh and dressy way, choose from them especially for mehendis, day wedding brunches and garden weddings.

Minimal delicate Accessories: You dont want to load yourselves with kilos of jewellery which will only make you sweat more in summer. Go the minimal route and add delicate trendy pieces of jewellery to your look which will look effortless, breezy and classy. Do a pair of heavy jhumkas and skip on necklace or if you want to have some fun flaunt ear cuffs. For hands a simple one finger hand harness, a classy watch or glass bangles should do the trick. if you want to wear something more dressy like a jhoomar or body chains then make sure rest of your look is simple and your outfit isnt in too bright colours.
