Color selection has an important and impactful role in wedding style and can set the scene for the entire wedding day. While traditional bridal colors of red and gold will always remain classic, brides today are often leaning more towards a brighter, fresher signature color that symbolizes the joyfulness of the wedding day. One recurrent color choice we’ve seen over the past few years for summer weddings is yellow.
Yellow is a lovely, sunny, and cheerful color to reflect the celebration of love and happiness that is so integral to a wedding. For brides, bridesmaids, and guests attending a wedding, you cannot go wrong with a yellow lehenga to portray a level of elegance and vibrancy during wedding season, while also embracing the warm summer months! In this blog, we’ll discuss why you should embrace a yellow lehenga as your go-to outfit at a summer wedding and how you can perfectly style a look appropriate for the season.
1. Yellow Reflects Summer Vibes
When considering summer, I often think of warmth and sunshine, and the lightness of feel. It would certainly follow that the bright and cheerful essence of the color yellow would reflect summer’s joy and comfort. There is also no better way to characterize all of the colors of late summer sunlight than by wearing a yellow lehenga. Yellow lehenga comes in a winter’s soft butter yellow or a muted mustard yellow, where both evoke happy, celebratory senses.
A yellow lehenga, for a summer wedding, provides a perfect canvas to establish a light, friendly, and fresh mood. Yellow elicits the imagery of flowers, warmth, and new beginnings—perfect for any bride or bridesmaid looking to evoke the essence of summer. If you desire a light, high spirited feeling, joyful and memorable wedding, the yellow lehenga is a modern animated-statement piece! If wearing yellow lehenga, will cultivate the atmosphere, which preps everyone for a delightful experience.
2. Lightweight and Breathable Fabrics for Comfy Feeling
In the context of yellow lehengas for your summer wedding, lightweight and breathable fabrics are an important consideration. Summer weddings typically occur outdoors, take the whole day to enjoy, and include some warm weather, so comfort is key. Yellow is also a beautiful color for types of lightweight and breathable fabrics that can keep you cool while still being stylish.
Chiffon and Georgette: If you’re looking for a flowy, easy-breezy look, chiffon and georgette are two ideal fabrics for a yellow lehenga. Both fabrics allow your body to flow naturally, while also feeling very light on your body on the hot summer day. Chiffon and georgette are soft fabrics that can translate their delicate beauty to a pastel or bright yellow lehenga, making you feel both breezy and elegant.
Cotton and Silk Blends: A cotton lehenga is another excellent option for summer weddings, and they are breathable enough for all-day wear and comfortable for a long hot day. If you would like a more dressy or shiny option, consider silk-blend fabric. Silk blended cotton creates a polished look while still being an appropriate and comfortable option for a summer wedding lehenga.
Organza and Tulle: If you prefer a little more glamour to your yellow lehenga, consider a fabric of organza or tulle. Organza and tulle add volume, texture and stability to skirts, without feeling weighty over the course of the day. Thus, you attain the perfect combination of comfort and beauty.
3. Great for Daytime Weddings & Outdoor Venues
Weddings during summer are often morning or afternoon outdoor venues, such as a garden, beach, or courtyard. Naturally, yellow is the best color for such weddings, as it complements nature’s beauty outdoors. Whether in a lush garden, on a sun-dappled terrace, or during a breezy beach wedding, yellow lehengas fit nicely into nature’s landscape.
Daytime Weddings: Yellow lehengas will glow during all daylight hours, as light colors reflect the sun’s rays, creating an illuminated effect. Yellow is a light color, therefore, a bride or bridesmaid in a yellow lehenga will not look overly dressed (heavily dressed) compared to darker colors. A great set up for a daytime wedding is a long yellow lehenga with light or minimal jewelry, on a fresh face with light or even minimal makeup. A beautiful personalized touch is when yellow lehenga outfits are worn in a sunny daytime wedding.
Outdoor Weddings: Yellow beautifully enhances outdoor wedding venues with an eye-catching twist on the natural colors of the space. Yellow also offers a nice contrast for floral settings, green grass and beautiful scenery, providing the opportunity for the wearer to stand out in an elegant way. For a beach wedding, the warmth of yellow will complement the gold tones of the sand and help achieve a more casual yet polished look.
Versatile for Shades and Styles
In addition, another benefit of a yellow lehenga being perfect for a summer wedding is that there is variety in shades and styles in the color yellow. Yellow is a wide color family starting at softly pastel color families, finishing with bold, rich color families, so you can fit in your own personal style and find a shade that suits you.
Soft Yellow Shades: Pastel yellows are light yellows, such as buttercream, pale lemon, or peachy yellow families are great for the bride who wishes to achieve a softer and lighter bridal appearance. Accenting soft pastel shades with soft embroidery (i.e., thread embroidery, crystals, sequins) can achieve a glam factor without overbearing. Pastel shades of yellow for a lehenga are specifically comfortable to wear for smaller summer wedding attire, especially outdoor and daytime.
Lively and Striking Yellow: If the bride or bride’s maids what to create a fashion statement, slipping into a bright yellow or mustard lehnga will be daring, impactful and pretty. Yellow, especially in rich colors, can be so impactful in a guest-meeting environment and can provide a lovely contrast to the many colors of embroidery seen on lehngas, including, zari, mirror work or stone work. Bright yellow lehngas can work well for evening weddings, because the brightness is that much brighter in the light from the decorative candles and spotlights.
Using Yellow with Other Colors: With a yellow lehnga, there are other colors you can add to the yellow. Gold, white, peach, or even contrasting colors can be a lovely color addition. Even a contrasting color, such as pink or red, can create depth. For example, if a bride wants to wear a yellow lehnga, she can consider gold embroidery or even a peachy-orange dupatta. Either will compliment and create a blended radiant look for you, the bride or brides maids.
