And surely everyone is loving it. Then, you get so much time to plan the events. Plus, photographs come out so well. However, most women are confused on the attire part. Which dress for afternoon weddings?
Today, we hope to solve the dilemma.
What Dress For Afternoon Weddings In India?
The mantra is not to overdo anything for day time weddings, whether it is the bride, her family and relatives, or guests.
Choose Bright Colours – You can choose bright colours for your attire, but not heavily embellished ones. Peach, mint green, ivory, and powder blue are great colours to choose for afternoon weddings. When you take pictures under natural sunlight, the colour just pops.

Flowy Fabrics – To dress for afternoon weddings, you must choose light and airy fabrics that fall free on your silhouette. Organzas, silk-blends, cotton, and embroidered chiffons with some glittery embellishments thrown in, will be nice. Go easy, as you have to run around for various functions, if you are a part of the family.

Lightweight Lehengas – Whether you are a bride or the family or guests attending the wedding, choose lightweight lehengas. Net and georgette lehengas with some fine embroidery and light zardozi work, will help you shine through. Crop tops, halter necks and jacket cholis are also in this season.
Light Accessories – Do, the very idea is to keep things light. Choose lightweight chokers, jhumkas, and bracelets or bangles. Go for floral hair decorations rather than ornate ones. You can take a small potli bag or embroidered clutch, as well. Your aim should be to make the accessories complement your dress, not overpower it.

Day Make Up – To complement your lightweight attire, wear light nude makeup. Dewy makeup is in for winter, and matte for summer. Open curls in hairstyle will be a great statement for the day time weddings.

Light and colourful attire will make the day time event a fun time for one and all. Now, finding a dress for afternoon weddings, is not a challenge anymore. Brain storm for more ideas on your own now.
