If you are a bride who has planned her wedding during the monsoon season, then this style guide is for you. A monsoon wedding can be fun! Yes, you heard it right. With the right outfit and the perfect style tips, there are many ways to go from bridezilla to bride chiller.
Bespoke couture and bridal wear designer Megha Kalpesh Oswal shares tips on what to do and what not to do when you’re a monsoon bride. “Monsoon weddings can be fun! Even if there’s a drizzle or a heavy downpour, the point is that the wedding should be fun and the bride should feel comfortable,” says Megha.
To ensure you have the best bridal look and celebrate your BIG day stress-free, here are some interesting and life-saving bridal tips to nail your monsoon wedding look.
Clothing fabric
Choose light, breathable fabrics such as organza, net and georgette that are water resistant. Such light and breathable fabrics can withstand the humidity during the monsoons. Avoid high-density fabrics, such as silk and velvet.
colors
Add a pop of color to the gloomy weather. Fun colors enhance the look of the wedding. For brides who like pastels, opt for cool pastel shades. Don’t go for warm colours, but go for cool shades of pink, peach, aqua blue, yellow or green.
Embroidery
Choose minimal embroidery details and try to avoid zardosi, gota patti and the like. Try to stick to wire work, sequins, cutdana, etc. You could add some sparkle to your ensemble, but make sure they don’t add too much weight to the ensemble and don’t react if it comes in contact with water. Embroidery with diamonds, pearls or crystals provides an elegant look and will not be spoiled by exposure to moisture.
Keep the length of the lehengas and dupattas short to avoid getting the edge dirty.
Jewelery
Avoid costume jewelry sets or silver for monsoon weddings, as they lose their shine when they come into contact with water.
Shoes
Choose shoes that are non-slip and have decorations such as wire work or sequins.
haircut
Taking into account the humid climate, a tight bun, messy braids or an elegant ponytail are ideal hairstyle choices.
To make sure the gloomy weather doesn’t rain on your parade, keep a blow dryer handy as it will help dry fabrics like net and organza quickly. Even during the sangeet and haldi functions, choose exaggerated outfits with minimal embellishments. It’s all about making a stylish entrance rain or shine, right?
