The months between November and January are considered as the peak season to have a wedding. But in a country like India, the spring and summer seasons have their fair share of weddings as well thanks to the most auspicious dates falling in that season. So, for all the ladies getting married between the months of February and May, choosing an outfit can become a major problem.
Every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day, but the hot weather can really pull her down. To top it all, most of the Indian weddings last for 4-5 days and every ceremony is as important as the main wedding.
But don’t worry, girls, we have got you covered! Be it the mehendi, haldi or any other ceremony, read on and get inspired by these Bollywood actresses. Bridal looks from Hindi films have set trends for our brides-to-be and we have listed a few of them below. Ladies, it’s time to beat the heat!
1. Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor is a trendsetter both onscreen and off-screen when it comes to fashion. This bridal look from her movie Aisha was amazing, just like her every outfit in the film.
The silver-lilac combination topped with delicate embroidery gives it a sublime look. The organza lehenga provides that much-needed breezy effect on a hot summer day. The way she wears the dupatta also works wonders for the different look. Team it up with silver jewelry and you are all set to rock the look – be it some ritual or the reception itself!
2. Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif has surely learned the art of looking like a beautiful, blushing bride in most of her movies. This look from the movie Baar Baar Dekho is a perfect example of summer bridal wear. The lehenga-choli that she has worn in the song ‘Nachne de saare’ has all the elements to make it a hot favorite among the brides-to-be.
This pink, floral outfit has silver embroidery on the waist and the blouse. It is light in weight and that makes it easy to carry. This no-dupatta look can be perfect for a sangeet ceremony where the bride can show her dance moves freely. Team it up with a dupatta and voilà, you have a new look!
Katrina’s look is complete with oxidized silver jewelry with pink and green embellishments. Ladies, we recommend you stick to the nude shades when it comes to makeup and let your natural beauty come out. This is a great outfit for outdoor functions, especially during the day.
3. Alia Bhatt
Most of us prefer to stick to pastel shades during the summer. If you love color, then it is better to stay away from dark colors like red and navy blue. Instead, go for the Alia Bhatt look from the movie Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya and bask in the hues of lime green and pink.
The colors really go well with the fabric, which is light and graceful. It is enhanced by the mirror work done on the blouse. Drape the dupatta on one side and keep the accessories to the minimum. Isn’t this dress perfect for a cocktail night?
4. Deepika Padukone
This actress has always given us some major fashion goals from her first movie itself. That’s the reason why we are still talking about her look from the movie Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, which was released years ago.
This yellow lehenga with the hot pink blouse set the screen on fire. This stylish dress had minimum work on the skirt and the border of the dupatta. It is simple yet gorgeous. This can be the perfect outfit for a mehendi or haldi ceremony.
5. Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, And Lisa Hayden
Here are three different gorgeous bridal looks in one frame. Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, and Lisa Hayden from the movie Houseful 3 inspire us to think differently in terms of colors. The lilac, yellow, and peach lehengas are something that an unconventional bride will love to wear. Even though the look is monochromatic, the heavily embroidered blouse and light lehenga make it stand out.
This look is perfect for a sangeet or haldi. You can even wear it for the special pre-wedding bridal photoshoot.
These are some of the Bollywood-inspired wedding outfits that we thought can make great summer bridal wear. Taking inspiration from these divas, we are sure that you will design your own dream wedding trousseau. But simply copying these dresses is not going to work. The trick is to get creative and make the outfit according to your own liking and taste. Also, do pay attention to the hairdo, makeup, and accessories as these can make or break a look.
