A Guide for the Summer Bride

Imagine sunny nuptials and delightful beach weddings, sunlit mehendi ceremonies, poolside parties and outdoorsy frolics instantly allures you. Indian summers host a lot of destinations weddings. And we think brides who choose to tie a knot in the summers are exceptionally cool! So, let’s break it down for the brides-to-be who’re ready to ace their bridal glow with some stellar style for their summer weddings.

Mehendi Frolics

Even a low-key mehendi affair becomes epic when hosted with a sundowner. Blend in the melange of the colourful outdoor set-up picking a bright coloured ensemble. The theme is just perfect to flaunt fusion cuts. So, pick a nice dhoti drape and crop top ensemble to go hassle-free while you get your arms designed in henna. A statement maang tika and a pair of danglers are all you need to finish off the look.

Pre-wedding Gatherings

If you’re hosting a pre-wedding brunch or a luncheon with the wedding guests at the backyard garden, pick fresh colours to complement the portrait-worthy get-together. Since the setup is pretty much informal, breezier silhouettes are perfectly nonchalant yet exquisite for an uber-cool bride-to-be. Make a noteworthy statement adorning a statement bracelet teaming it with minimalistic jewels for the occasion.

Sangeet Night

Whether it’s your special performance or you leading the competition against the baraatis, don’t do it without dollops of bling. If you’re hosting an open-air sangeet night, tangerines or high-pigmented pinks are ideal choices. Dance a storm wearing a fuss-free lehenga saree ensemble and you’ll be able to ace those twirls like a diva. Primp it up with dazzling matha patti and a pair of jhumkis

The Big Day

A daytime wedding ceremony is simply picturesque, so your bridal look needs every bit attention to detail. Radiate with the summer sun choosing a blush-hued bridal ensemble and make a dreamy entry to the aisle. A beautifully handcrafted lehenga with floral accents paired with kundan polki jewellery is a perfectly romantic bridal choice for the summer wedding.

Reception & After-party

Reception soirees for the summer season are best hosted on the roof-top. Take a leeway from heavy ensembles and slip into a contemporary lehenga to transition from the meet & greet evening to the after-party shenanigans. A statement bracelet and a choker neckpiece is ample to team with the bling of your wedding ring.
