If a winter fairytale has been on your Wishlist for a long time, keep this guide close for some fashion tips and advice.
Considering the omnipresent humidity all across the Indian subcontinent, it’s only fitting that every couple is looking to recite their wedding vows in some place much colder than the tropics. And if you’ve circled your date for pheras in the mountains or during the last quarter of the year with temperatures dropping below ten degrees Celsius, you know there’s layering involved when planning your wedding outfits. Whether you’re a bride, bridesmaid, or a wedding guest, we have the perfect handbook to take you through fabrics, colours, silhouettes, and jewellery that will keep you warm without compromising on style.
No more boring outfits
There’s no need to resort to bulky fabrics or uncomfortably layered looks that make you look out of shape. Sure, the backless blouse and the sultry bralettes may be out of the picture, but with the right layering and fabrics, one can still have an interesting look for the wedding festivities. Think solid-coloured silk sarees with fur coats, lace stockings layered under the drapes, leather jackets with belted corsets, and so much more. And if you’re looking for a more traditional look, try our satin silk Banarasi lehengas and pair it up with a cropped high-neck blouse or a full-sleeve one if that’s more your style.
Frosty Shades
A colour palette speaks volumes about the season’s mood, and while browns, mustard, and blacks remain autumn staples, this year’s wedding edit comes with a few unexpected twists. Red, of course, is a timeless favourite among brides, no matter the season. But if you're planning a winter wedding, consider deeper, moodier alternatives like maroon and oxblood. And for those who want to escape from the confines of the red cliché, shake things up with unconventional yet striking hues like black and ivory for a refreshing change.
New Silhouettes
Gone are those days when brides wore heavily embroidered and multilayered lehengas down the aisle. Call it originality or the current style wave, but the new-age bride isn't afraid to swap the excess fabric for silhouettes that ring true to her personal style. And for the guests too, we’re seeing a certain shift where opting for draped skirts , brocade pantsuits, and kimono-style kaftans is making the cut. Thought you couldn’t carry your blazer to the wedding? Well, now you can.
