Yellow lehengas are an obvious choice for summer weddings. This is due to the fact that they represent warmth, positivity and celebration and, thus, work beautifully against the bright atmosphere of the day and any outdoor location. Yellow lehengas are also a versatile option that lends itself to haldi ceremonies to garden receptions, providing a level of seasonal charm, lightness, and non-heavy presence.
Choosing Your Shade of Yellow
Lighter and cooler shades of yellow would be appropriate for summer events because they will be breathable. The cool tones of pastel yellow, lemon yellow, butter-cream, and light marigold yellow will all work well with the natural light of the outside setting. All of these shades will photograph beautifully and add to the summery glow created by the sun while the bride and her party are being photographed. Muted mustard and muted sunflower yellows are also suitable for use in bridesmaid dresses or close family dresses as they will add some really nice depth to the lehengas while still complementing the light-colored seasonal theme.
Choosing your color usually comes down to whether the event will take place at a particular time of the day. The lighter shades of yellow would work better for ceremonies that take place in the morning and during the day but that will also be affected by weather. Going from the lighter shades of yellow to deeper shades of yellow, such as turmeric yellow and/or gilded yellow, will provide a nice transition between morning and afternoon and evening events/ceremonies.
Importance of Fabric for Summer Wear
Stay comfortable during summer events by wearing lightweight fabrics like georgette, chiffon, organza and soft netting because they provide flexibility and breathability to movement. In addition to being lightweight, these types of fabrics will not weigh you down so you can stay comfortable but still have an elegant styled look for your summer event.
If you prefer to wear a traditional style but still want to be comfortable, lightweight silk blends (i.e., cotton silk) are good choices. When going to events outside during summer, you should avoid heavy fabrics and choose lighter ones so that you will continue to be comfortable throughout the duration of the event.
Embroidery and Embellishment on Yellow Lehenga Choli
You can create beautiful ensembles by styling yellow lehengas with thread embroidery, mirror work, gota patti, or even a few scattered sequins on them. There are also many floral embroidery designs (like light pastel colors of pink and green/ivory) that can add a summery feel to your ensemble as well – OR, if you’re going to the haldi ceremony, you can go for minimalistic designs with clean edges, giving you a very functional and light appearance!
For more formal weddings during the summer months, you could choose to use gold zari or tonal embroidery to create a very rich look for your yellow lehenga set, while at the same time, your lehenga set would look elegant due to the proportions of embellishments would remain proportional to the other elements of the lehenga design as well!
Comfort and Style with a Summer Blouse
The design of a blouse can greatly impact how comfortable someone feels as well as what they look like. Some general choices for a summer blouse include, but are not limited to, sleeveless, cap sleeve and short sleeve, all of which provide comfort during warm weather. Sweetheart neckline, square neck and boat neck all add structure while keeping a free-flowing silhouette.
Modern twists on blouses include back-tie-up details, subtle cutouts and sheer sleeves that are typically made from lightweight materials. As for coordinating blouses for bridesmaids, bridesmaids can coordinate the patterns of their blouses, while wearing the same piece of yellow lehenga to create visual cohesiveness in the group.
Dupatta Draping Ideas
A dupatta can help transform an entire outfit’s appearance and feel. A single shoulder drape creates a relaxed and effortless daytime look for ceremonies. A traditional look can be created by giving a formal pleated look for draping a dupatta onto either side of the shoulder, which creates an elegant defined line at the waist.
Dupattas made of lightweight net or organza with embroidered borders can provide elegance, however, do not add weight, and will complement yellow lehengas with a floral printed dupatta during summer celebrations.
Adorning a Yellow Lehenga Set
Gold jewelry, as well as pearl jewelry and pastel stones, complement yellow. Using traditional style gold jhumka and layered necklace will also complement warm tones. On the other hand, a pearl choker will create a more elegant finish. Minimal jewelry during the daytime would make your look fresh and well-balanced.
Wear comfortable shoes that suit the type of event you are attending. If the event is more formal, wearing embroidered jutti or wearing strappy sandals in a neutral color will complement your outfit without detracting from the lehenga.
Make-Up and Hair Suggestions
Summer make-up should be light and fresh. Using peach blush, warm highlighter and brown or bronze eye make-up all go well with yellow. A nude, coral or soft pink lip color will complete the outfit.
Wearing your hair in loose flowing waves, wearing a braided bun or wearing a low ponytail will keep your look elegant while also keeping you comfortable in the warm weather. Adding flower petals to your hair will add a nice summer touch. Wearing a yellow lehenga choli at a summer wedding creates energy and brightens a summer wedding. When using the right type of fabric, ensuring that the embroidery is well balanced, and using the right accessories, you will create a look that is festive and comfortable while attending a summer wedding.
