For a summer wedding...

If you are attending a wedding this summer, here are some fashionable trends that you can emulate...

Trends change with every passing season and it can get quite difficult to be in sync with all the trends, especially when it comes to summer weddings. Finding the right balance between ethnic and traditional outfits and comfort in this intense season is a mammoth task. With social media putting major focus on summer weddings, summer has become the most popular time for weddings due to beach-friendly weather, blooming flowers, a holiday mood, and more. At the same time, it also has a lot of drawbacks, when it comes to fashion. But, here are a few trends that you can emulate to stand out this wedding season:

• Fabric: For summer weddings, you can go for light fabrics like tulles, georgette, chiffon, chanderi, mal-cotton, Banarasi, brocades and thin silks as they help you stay cool and are also available in self-prints.

• Colour: Peaches, yellows, pinks, ice blues, ivories and greys are perfect for a summer wedding. What more, they are perfect for all those picture perfect photographs you want to take.

• Silhouette: Since it’s summer, it makes sense to choose breathable and light silhouettes.

• Embellishments: Lightweight and comfortable surface ornamentation like appliques, texturing, pleating, ruffles and minimal embroidery is what is highly recommended for a summer wedding.

• Hair and make-up: Natural look is what is in right now. So, keep your make-up minimal and let your inner glow shine.

• Accessories: Hand harness, ear cuffs, feather pouches/bags will add some extra zing to your entire ensemble.

So, go on and have a fashionable time!
