The wedding season in India may begin in December, but summer and monsoon weddings have their own appeal. Attending a wedding during this time of year is the perfect excuse to get dreamy pictures clicked, guzzle fizzy cocktails and dance your heart out. They also serve as the perfect opportunity to dress up; whether it's for beachside nuptials or hill station receptions. Once you have RSVP-ed to the wedding invites, it's time to pick an outfit.
This season, both the fashion world and celebrity closets can wholly agree on pastels. From butter yellow's craze to dreamy pink tones on our feed, it's safe to say this season belongs to pastels. Pastel colours are more sophisticated in comparison to the brighter summer shades, giving them a more understated feel to them. It's probably also why so many celebrities choose this colour as their go-to option in the monsoons, especially during wedding season. The shades are festive enough; without too much of vibrance, which is the ideal choice when going for a wedding. They also add scope for fun designs and intricate details to show on sarees and lehengas.
Scroll below to see how you can style various shades of pastels for the next ceremony you attend just like these Bollywood celebrities did.
1. Nysa Devgan
Nysa Devgan opted for a Banarasi brocade lehenga by Manish Malhotra when she attended her friend's wedding, showing us that an embroidered blouse is best paired with a printed lehenga.
2. Suhana Khan
Go all-beige all the way, just like Suhana Khan did in this lehenga by Torani. The shade screams wedding guest chic, keeping light and breezy through the great Indian summers and monsoons.
3. Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra swapped a lehenga and saree for an embroidered dress by Rahul Mishra. The dress features pops of pastels in the form of flowers on a beige canvas which embodies ethereal vibes.
4. Alia Bhatt
If there is one colour we can never go wrong with in any season, it is pastel pink. The versatile blush pink colour carries a princess-like flair that works its charm on all kinds of ethnic garments.
5. Triptii Dimri
Pair pastels and blush pink with gold embroidery to add the right amount of wedding cheer to it, like the Bulbul actress did.
6. Jacqueline Fernandez
Silks and pastels make for a lethal combination that one can never go wrong with. This saree by Jacqueline Fernandez is a tempting case to invest in some pastel silks this season.
7. Kareena Kapoor
It might just be the year of pistachio as the shade has been all over our feeds; from desserts to scents to fashion. This creamy green shade makes for a light and demure shade to attend this season's weddings. Take notes from Kareena Kapoor's Tarun Tahiliani saree on how to style this colour for the season.
8. Alia Bhatt (yes, again)
What we love about attending a wedding on sultry days is that we can show a peek of extra skin. Opt for an off-shoulder beauty like Alia Bhatt did to have all eyes on you.
9. Janhvi Kapoor
Take notes from this Janhvi Kapoor look when getting ready for the sangeet as the sequin saree in a soft shade of purple makes it suitable for evening wear while being perfectly seasonal at its core. Plus, it's a pre-draped saree i.e. come true for all those who can never line up their pleats properly.
10. Katrina Kaif
If your goal is to pull off an easy, breezy look, then this Katrina Kaif choice is for you. The stunning printed blue lehenga by Mahima Mahajan replaces a traditional blouse with a structured corset-like top, making for fun experimentation when styling for weddings.
11. Ananya Panday
Ananya Kapoor opted for a powder blue lehenga while attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding. The shade offers a dash of whimsy charm that's perfect for a Disney-esque fairytale.
12. Khushi Kapoor
Butter yellow is everywhere and deserves to have its place in wedding moodboards too. The understated, elegant shade of yellow has a luxurious feel to it, making it a perfect fit for the wedding season.
13. Alaya F
Opt for a sequin butter yellow saree for a perfect pop of colour. The light shade is mesmerising when hit by sunlight, making it the perfect fit for an outdoor wedding.
