Choosing the Right Fabric for Summer Weddings

Let’s talk about the real wedding season dilemma: how to look fabulous without turning your outfit into a personal sauna.

Whether you're the bride, the best-dressed guest, or just here for Biryani, your fabric choice can make or break your night (or day—we’re not here to police wedding timings). Because nothing ruins a fire outfit like feeling like you're actually on fire.

Here’s a no-nonsense guide to looking cool while staying cool.

1. Silk: Yes, Even in Summer

Wait, silk? In the heat? Hear us out.

Not all silks are made equal. Lightweight silks—especially ones with a soft ombré or a breathable weave—can actually work beautifully in warm weather, if you’re not wrapped in six pleats of it. Try a statement saree that does all the talking without smothering you. We’re obsessed with this ombré metallic silk number for night weddings where glam is non-negotiable.

2. Cotton Silk: The Goldilocks of Fabrics

Too crisp? Too soft? Cotton silk says: why not both?

It’s breathable like cotton but has just enough sheen to feel special—ideal for when you want something festive but can’t commit to the drama of pure silk. Bonus: it photographs like a dream. Our pick? The Rozana Kajal saree—made for weddings where the vibe is "subtle but deadly."

3. Chiffon: For Maximum Movement, Minimum Effort

Chiffon is the MVP of easy glam. Lightweight, flowy, and moves like it’s in a music video—what’s not to love? It’s especially perfect for evening weddings where you plan to make a twirl-worthy entrance.

We’re currently crushing on the Ombre Muqaish Serena—it’s airy, elegant, and comes with that “I didn’t try too hard but still look amazing” energy.

What to Skip When It’s Basically 40°C Outside

Let’s not kid ourselves:

  • Velvet – Feels luxe. Also feels like wearing a plush blanket to a tandoor. Hard pass.

  • Brocade – Gorgeous? Yes. Breathable? Not even a little. save it for your December cousin’s wedding.

  • Organza – Looks ethereal, wears like a heat trap. It doesn’t move, it doesn’t breathe, and it definitely doesn’t care that you’re sweating underneath.

Unless the entire venue is air-conditioned and you're being chauffeured between events in an ice bath, skip these. Your pores (and your mood) will thank you.
