You know why I like spring and summer weddings? It is because I like to dress up comfortably. With the outdoor setup during spring time and pleasant summer nights, one gets to dress up stylishly as well as with an ease. From revitalizing signature cocktails to the fragrance of spring and summer flowers, the entire ambiance of a summer wedding is so beautiful. As for the dressing, I do feel that it requires a little less effort. For pre-wedding ceremonies, outfits in lighter fabrics, even cotton works well. As for the wedding day, one can wear a designer saree, suit, an indo-fusion dress or a lehenga in chiffon, georgette, crepe and other summer-skewed fabrics. Besides, with the arrival of the summer season, all of a sudden we have so much more flesh on display 😉
