Indian weddings are bright, colorful and elegant. Meera Patel, cofounder of Devi’s Closet, a high-end rental boutique, brings you five quick tips on standing out this spring and summer season.
Pastels & Lace
Make sorbet colors work for you by stocking up on your salwar kameez, lenghas dresses and sarees in pastel hues. Don’t shy away from sleeveless blouses and top.

Graphic Prints & Stripes
Horizontal and vertical lines have a big presence this season. Think of Naeem Khan’s gorgeous sari ballgown.

Sheer Fabrics
Sheer fabrics are associated with sunshine and warm breezes. Wear net or chiffon sarees at any event, especially if it at the tropics or the beach! You will be the talk of the town for being cool and stylish.

Sunshine Yellow
Besides falling in love with pastels this season, we have to make a special mention to yellow. That happy, warm sunshine yellow. Recharge your wardrobe with a splash of it. Indian weddings are all about bright, so take the yellow and become that ray of light at a festivity (just don’t outshine the bride!). This combo below even makes for beautiful mix and match bridesmaid outfits.
