28 May 2010- Indian wedding dresses for brides- as well as the guests who attend the wedding- have always been 'lavish and glamorous'! And why should it not be? After all wedding dresses are the focal point of any wedding. However, considering the hot season, summer wedding dress has to be comfortable too (without compromising on the glamor quotient!) Have our own Indian fashion designers not recognized the need of cool and comfortable summer wedding dresses for our brides and her guests? Of course, they have and see what their bridal collections have done! They have made a significant shift in the wedding dress style from traditional to contemporary. The wedding dress designs are now influenced by western culture. The colors, cuts, design, style and accessories have transformed a lot over the years. Straight skirt lehngas are more in fashion with a simpler, elegant touch rather than a heavy skirt which can weigh brides down. Check out what wedding dress trends are prevalent for summers and design your own based on them!

This is a cool traditional red wedding lehnga with a summer specific contemporary style choli. The halter neck blouse design makes it a perfect contemporary wedding dress that will keep the bride cool too!


And this is a total summer color wedding lehenga with heavy embroidery work that looks so light and cool! Summer wedding dresses trends now favor use of fabrics like chiffon, georgette, crepes instead of heavy brocades and silks. These fabrics also help flatter the brides skin tone and body structure.


As was said earlier, now brides are no longer 'so traditional.' If also, they wear wedding lehengas and sarees during their wedding rituals, they prefer to wear western style wedding dresses for reception. Look at this bridal collection of Ritu Beri. The revolutionary wedding gown with bold cuts and flairs is perfect for brides at their wedding receptions. The other wedding dress in lehenga choli style (but without dupatta) is an intersting mix of Indo western concepts of wedding dresses.


And now is the time for guests attending the big wedding parties! There is a wide choice for them too- both in Indian and western dresses. Cool summer color sarees in light fabric with stunning blouse designs or a totally western dress in bright colors- all look good. What is also trendy these days is the retro look. So, choose fashion accessories and hair styles that give you this trendy appearance!



If you are not comfortable in entirely traditional or totally western wedding outfits, go for this- the Indo western wedding dresses. Black color is already too trendy and designer Rocky S has made it more glamorous by making it one shoulder kurta with a nice cut. If you want a more casual yet attractive wedding dress for attending the wedding party, you may opt for the halter neck designer salwar kameez with trendy accessories and hair style! Mix fabrics like georgettes and tissues with brocade, silks and jamevar with an elegant embroidery style to make your guests wedding dress a really stunning outfit!
