Choose the right fabric

Kick-start your sartorial journey by choosing the right fabric. Considering the high levels of humidity in the air, it’s best to opt for breathable and feel-good fabrics like organic cotton, chanderi, pure chiffon, pure Georgette, cotton silk blends that can be easily worn for longer duration. Avoid dense fabrics such as velvet and silk.

While choosing colours, don’t go for dark colours such as maroon and reds, instead pick pastels and soft colours and team them with minimal jewellery. This season, greens, yellows, blues, fuchsias and oranges are scoring way over  conventional bridal colours.
