Summer is in full swing, and we often contemplate how to look our best without compromising on vogue. Here are some of the best fabrics for brides to wear in summer.

1. Georgette

2. Chiffon 

 Chiffon is a sheer fabric that lends an opulent feel and is an impeccable choice for weddings. It is an apt choice for many silhouettes but not for lean women. It is perfect for a beach wedding or any outdoor venue.

3. Crepe

Crepe is an airy fabric known for crinkling up. It contains moisture-wicking abilities and is considered an impeccable fabric for summer. It flatters women of all body types. Also, this is one of the opulent fabrics to look forward to for new age brides.

1. Lightweight Lehengas For Summer Wedding

Heavy embellishments look exquisite but are a big no-no for summer weddings. Instead, make lightweight bridal lehengas your go-to option. You can opt for subtle hues like beige, peach and pink with minimal embroidery. Pair it with a scalloped neckline blouse and lastly team it up with peep-toe heels. Patterns like paisley, botanical and floral are popular prints that brides should turn to. For sleeves, off-shoulder and one-shoulder would be an ideal choice for brides.

2. Indo-Western Outfits For Summer Wedding 

Indo-western outfits are a go-getter option for breathable wedding dresses. A crop top paired with a draped skirt or palazzo cannot go wrong for a mehndi or sangeet ceremony. An anarkali gown featuring strappy sleeves with an attached choker-style cape will look nothing less than dreamy on your sangeet night. For summer weddings, a vibrant multicolour cape set or a chic crop top paired with palazzo pants makes a stunning choice that effortlessly combines elegance and comfort.

3. Salwar Suits For Summer Wedding

Flowy anarkali suits are an impeccable option for pre-wedding ceremonies. They are a wedding staple for brides looking for a flowy silhouette. You can wear a dupatta like a cape to add a touch of modernity and grace. Anarkali suits with floral motifs, animal motifs, etc are a statement that brides are inclined towards. Throw in a choker set and a haathphool to complete your look.

4. Sarees For Summer Weddings

Brides can beat the heat in traditional attire by opting for sarees with necklines apt for summer like sweetheart, V-neck, or boat neck. Opt for chanderi silk and tussar silk for fabrics, as they keep you cool. For ceremonies like sangeet or mehndi, a pre-draped saree paired with a belt would also make for an ideal option.
