I am sure all of you would agree with me when I say Summer Indian weddings are terrible! On top of heavy stifling ethnic wear, the air-conditioning almost always seems to fail in huge gatherings, your makeup melts off your face, your hair goes frizz/ limp crazy and Lord save you if it is outdoors whether day and night. And that brilliant and polished look that we associate while playing dress-up -- for both men and women -- goes for a toss. I personally just attended one last week of a close friend's sister, and as soon as I entered the main arena, I got hit by a mist fan so bad that the hours of hardwork my stylist put together in doing my hair and face were history... and instantly!
Save for small blessings though, the least you can do is have it easy outfit-wise. I have put together these two looks, contemporary and ethnic since it is indeed wedding season in full swing:
Contemporary
Black and white no doubt! The hottest trend of SS13 that brings the war of opposites to a delightful glory is versatile, no-fuss and breezy! This pyramid print satin vest paired with this flowy pair of silk-chiffon palazzos, both by Ankur and Priyanka Modi can easily switch from bruncheon-chic to glam moments on the night floor with superb flare. I love the label's minimalistic approach towards fabulous cuts -- and would definitely recommend you to check out their entire BW collection. A python print clutch with snake-shaped hardware (shop here) by Bansri, These stunning uncut diamond and pearl drop earrings by Bharanys Jewellery, this antique silver tribal-inspired cuff by Amrapali, and a sky-high pair of Charles & Keith heels that you can buy here completes the look. I have kept the look entirely monotone; some way want to add a loud pop colour.
Ethnic
I know you might groan that Masaba Gupta and prints go hand-in-hand but how about working one her plains -- this lusciously candy pink sari that you can pick here. This is teamed with this brocade blouse by 9rasa, super-chunky clutch by Gayatri Chopra available here, earrings with rose motifs from Valliyan by Nitya from here, and a pair of rock-studded surprise twist by Steve Madden that can be bought here. Put on a slim mixed-metal watch such as this DKNY, and nothing more.
