It's that time of year when you get a lot of sunshine! Summers aren't just about rising mercury and oppressive humidity. There's a lot to be excited about, from fruit popsicles to the festive atmosphere. Above all, it's time to start planning for the upcoming summer wedding season!
The concept of careful and safe celebrations has become ingrained in routines—the new normal. Nonetheless, we've learned to make the most of ultra-special occasions, such as summer weddings, with easy-breezy wardrobes and comfort-promising lehengas that work well for both intimate weddings and traditional Big Fat ceremonies.
Summer Wedding Lehenga Choli
Many wedding guests would prefer to avoid the summery mayhem that comes with a slew of parties and rituals held outside during the nuptials. The scorching heat makes heavy ethnic wear like zardosi embroidered velvet lehengas and jacquard silk sarees, which women typically prefer for such occasions, unsuitable. So, if you want to look presentable while also remaining immune to the soaring temperatures, you should look into some soothing summer wedding attire.
Wedding sarees, lehengas, festive suits such as Anarkalis and Sharara suits, and ornate-contemporary wear are the most common Indian wedding attire. A lehenga, while essentially elaborate, can save you from extra sweating due to its breathable silhouette. To top it all off, lehenga cholis and lehenga suits are incredibly graceful, formal, and imperial—a difficult choice for an Indian wedding! And, of course, lehenga cholis are always up for matching the vibrant wedding vibe. Intimate or grandiose, here are the latest lehenga choli styles for the summer wedding season of 2021.
The Pastel Saga
This season, don't dismiss the pastel palette! Pastel colors like lilac, pale pink, soft blue, and onion pink lehengas are a soothing response to the harsh summer rays. A pastel lehenga choli is a fashionable and uptown choice for summer resort weddings and contemporary themed social occasions.
Adding Layers
Not those warm, heavy, and cozy layers! Embrace the layering trend with this exquisite lehenga choli jacket, which features a light and breathable jacket. An embroidered jacket or shrug over a plain lehenga choli is a practical option if you like to re-wear your wedding gown.
Print Stories
You can save all of your prized zardozi, dazzling sequins, and similarly adorned lehengas for the occasion. Skin irritation in the heat is the absolute last thing on your mind! Instead, opt for a printed lehenga that will highlight your best features without adding bulk to your ensemble. If you prefer trend-following classics, stick to florals, Bandhani, tie-and-dye, or Shibori, or go all out and experiment with funky object prints!
Summer Fabrics
Light weaves and breathable fabrics such as cotton, cotton-silk, georgette, and Chanderi will come in handy if you want to feel pleasant and comfortable on a humid summer wedding day. A handloom cotton lehenga choli is not only perfect for summer, but it also fits into the growing trend of eco-friendly and sustainable fashion.
Easy Chic Embroideries
While it is customary to use apparel ornamentation at weddings, it is best to keep your wedding lehenga to thread embroidery. Lakhnavi and Chikankari are two traditional textile arts that you can wear for the occasion.
Sheers are the elegant saviors of the summer wedding season in 2021. Wear the net panel like a daring diva, sheer-back, sheer-shouldered, sheer-sleeved. Aside from the fashion benefits, you'll be grateful for its skin-breathing properties.
Fusion Mantra
Every season is ideal for experimenting with and reinventing your wardrobe. Lehenga suits are the modern equivalent of the traditional lehenga. These suits, which deviate from the traditional-style lehenga by having a lighter flare and a longer blouse, have taken over the wedding wear scene with their promising comfort and chic appeal.
The Dupatta Trend
Using a heavy dupatta with a plain lehenga choli is a quick way to elevate your wedding look. With the lehenga and blouse design, you can play it safe and go overboard with an embroidered net or heavy Banarasi dupatta.
A Neutral Vibe
We're sure you'll adore the idea of attending a summer wedding in a white lehenga choli! You can find lehengas in beige, cream, pearl, ivory, and taupe to suit your sartorial taste in the neutral palette! Choose a sequined, printed or minimally embroidered white lehenga choli for an experience of glamorous comfort in the summer heat.
Tulle Diaries
A few extra layers of soft net won't weigh you down! Instead, they will add a chirpy and voluminous look to your wedding attire. How about a pretty pink net lehenga with multi-layers and a hint of metallic sparkle? You can combine the dreaminess of pink with tulles or opt for any of the summery hues.
