Monsoons have long been considered the most romantic season of all, which is why many couples choose this time of the year to tie the knot. Though the rainy months welcome muddy puddles and humid weather, it is no reason to pass up planning the extravagant wedding of your dreams. But when putting together outfits for monsoon events, it’s difficult to eliminate the anxiety of ruining our precious clothes. However, there are plenty of ways to curate that perfect monsoon wedding wardrobe that will ensure fuss-free celebrations!
Monsoons are typically characterised by humidity and unwanted sweat patches, which is why comfort should be the topmost priority. There are a few things like fabrics, embroideries and colours you must factor in before going shopping. Here are some tips and tricks for building a monsoon wedding wardrobe that you can cherish for a long time!
The Little Black Bow
Mehak Murpana
Lightweight Lehengas
During the damp weather and probable downpours, it is best to opt for lehengas with lightweight embroideries or striking prints. Whether for a daytime mehendi function or nighttime cocktail party, an easy-breezy number will allow you to twirl away in full glory! The bright yellow lehenga set by The Little Black Bow features patchwork embroidery, perfect for evoking the celebratory spirit on a gloomy day. The pastel shades of this ensemble will look ethereal during any event on a monsoon afternoon. Accessorize it with minimal jewellery to avoid extreme sweat, and finish the look with statement sunglasses.
A glamorous and fun-filled sangeet or cocktail party deserves a spotlight-worthy lehenga like the one by Mehak Murpana. The enchanting floral print on the rich-hued base will make you stand out, while the gold embroidered bustier will add gravity to this look.

Ridhi Mehra
Rainproof Embellishments
If you are fond of heavy embroideries and regal fabrics, no weather should stop you from donning your dream outfit! However, if you plan on having an outdoor wedding, opting for deep hues will minimize the chances of probable mishaps caused due to mud splashes. The hot pink lehenga by Rachit Khanna is the perfect bridal ensemble for the main wedding day. The dabka work on this lehenga will ensure that the embroidery doesn’t blacken due to moisture, unlike heavy zardosi or gota-patti work. For a glam-filled cocktail party, go for a darker shade like the navy lehenga set by Ridhi Mehra. Featuring regal bead embroidery, this medium-heavy piece is perfect for dancing away the night with maximum glitz and comfort.
Basanti – Kapde Aur Koffee
Seema Thukral
Hands-free Styles
A windy day with downpours might sound idyllic when you are home reading a book, but if you plan to attend a rainy-day wedding, hassle-free silhouettes are undoubtedly the best option! The georgette printed cape set by Basanti – Kapde Aur Koffee is both flowy and effortlessly stylish. While the flared pants will give you ease of movement, the bustier and cape will ensure a dreamy look with a hands-free experience. To amp up the glam quotient, go for the new-age, one-shoulder Anarkali by Seema Thukral. Featuring minimal embroidery and a flattering fit, this ensemble is an excellent addition to your monsoon wedding wardrobe, whether you are the bride or her bridesmaid.
Ridhima Bhasin 
Charu & Vasundhara
Fuss-free Sarees
No matter how many modern and innovative creations you might browse through, the timeless charm of a saree is indispensable. However, handling a six-yard drape amidst rain-soaked surroundings can be challenging. When looking for a saree to don at monsoon weddings, a pre-draped saree is an unbeatable choice! For a daytime event, opt for a pastel shade like the teal pre-draped jacket saree set by Ridhima Bhasin. The dreamy hue and dazzling embroidery of this ensemble are best suited for making an ethereal fashion statement under gloomy skies. If you are not up to taking the risk of wearing pastels, the oxblood ruffled saree set by Charu & Vasundhara will put you in the spotlight for a nighttime cocktail or reception party! Style it with Kundan jewellery to complete the look and create a show-stopping fashion statement.
Baise Gaba 
Rachit Khanna
Shorter Hemlines
When planning a monsoon wedding wardrobe, shorter hemlines are always a failsafe option, as they will elevate your wedding glam look without being at risk of getting spoilt. The printed lehenga set by Baise Gaba features a vibrant play of colours and prints with the perfect hemline length. Style it with high heels and chunky silver jewellery for a whimsical bohemian look. While this fit has a minimal aesthetic, the rose gold short Anarkali set by Rachit Khanna is great for amping up the glam quotient. Make a carefree statement in this outfit, as the short tunic and tapered pants will eliminate the hazard of getting smeared with mud.
No matter which style you choose for monsoon weddings, do not forget to have maximum fun without worrying about your outfit. Put your comfort first and build a wardrobe that will serve you even after the wedding. Remember to avoid fabrics like velvet as it can capture humidity, becoming heavy and getting ruined after the celebrations.
