Destination weddings are no longer just about the place, they’re about setting a tone, creating an atmosphere, and letting your personal style adapt to it all. At Ekaya, we believe that your outfit should not just suit the setting, but celebrate it. And this summer, it’s all about making your outfit work for the destination, not the other way around. So whether you’re RSVPing ‘yes’ to a sundown ceremony or danc- ing under chandeliers in a heritage fort, here’s how to show up in style (and stay cool while doing it).
This summer, our collections offer the perfect canvas for interpreting the season’s trends—whether it's a sheer organza saree that catches the breeze or a handwoven scarf that doubles as a bandeau blouse, reimagine your summer wardrobe through the lens of timeless Indian craftsmanship.
Marry tradition with mood with our no-fuss, no-fluff guide on how to dress for the most popular wedding destinations this season.
Say yes to a Forest Escape
A forest wedding is all about intimacy, vows under floral canopies, dappled sunlight, and an atmosphere that feels more like a secret than a spectacle. Think soft, romantic weaves in nature-inspired tones. Lightweight Banarasi organzas that move with the breeze and photograph beautifully in filtered forest light. Comfort is key here, so opt for easy silhouettes and fuss-free drapes that let you blend into the magic of the setting, not fight it.
The Beach Wedding
Salt in the air, sunlight that turns everything gold by 5 pm, dancing till dawn. There’s nothing quite like a beach wedding. The key here is to keep things light, in fabric, colour, and attitude. Banarasi but make it beachy. Opt for tissue or silk Banarasi sarees in tropical tones. Don’t shy away from metallic threads that catch the light and add just the right amount of drama. With salty winds and bright skies, let your look be playful, effortless, and just a little sun-kissed.
The Royal Wedding
Attending a wedding in a palace? Consider this your official invitation to go all in. Palace weddings are made for drama, courtyards, candlelight, vintage cars, and serious couture moments. Rich, traditional Banarasi silks are your best friend here. Opt for opulent brocades and rich silk drapes in jewel tones. This is also the perfect time to bring out those heirloom jewellery pieces —temple sets, layered kundan, or statement earrings. Cinch your waist with a corset belt and you’re all set to go.
The City Affair
Whether on a rooftop, in an art gallery, or a historic hotel, city weddings are polished yet personal, where every detail is deliberate and design-forward. Try an opulent designer saree for wedding in silver zari, a Banarasi trench over a lehenga, or a bold saree with a jacket thrown over. Add sculptural earrings, slick hair, and walk in like the softest power move ever. Minimal doesn’t mean boring, it just means edited.
