Clouds impregnated with love, and soft, flowery breezes announce the dawn of monsoons.
As the raindrops fall and love fill the air, there’s nothing more romantic than exchanging your wedding vows at the time of the year when the weather is pleasing and enchanting.
The rain is a reality, especially if we are getting married in the monsoon season. How can we do that?
A skincare routine unsuitable for the monsoon might wreak havoc on your skin at the worst possible moment – your wedding day.
Follow these easy bridal skincare tips for the monsoon season.
Waterproof makeup
Choose waterproof makeup products over regular ones during the monsoon wedding.
Get a makeup trial done with waterproof cosmetics and splash some water to check if the makeup stays on or not. This will help you check whether your makeup can withstand the humidity of the day. Also, if you have frizzy hair, check with your hairstylist on how you can take it in the humidity. To ensure your makeup stays in place, set it with a translucent powder. This will help absorb excess moisture and oil, keeping your foundation intact.
Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove any impurities, and follow it up with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer.
Similarly, choose power-based blushes, bronzers, and eyeshadows, for they’re not only waterproof but also last longer than cream-based ones.
Footwear
If you’re having an outdoor monsoon wedding, it is critical to select footwear that provides a solid grip and prevents slipping when you move around on the mucky ground and slippery floors. Walking in heels is no cakewalk, and when it’s all muddy and the grass is squishy, it is best to pick shoes or sneakers under your lehenga
If you want heels, pick kitten heels or wedges instead of pointy stilettos.
Wear some classy juttis which look very stylish, and they will go perfectly well with your outfit and at the same time be hassle-free and comfortable.
You can even go for Punjabi juttis as they are highly comfortable and fashionable.
Wedding Outfits
Amidst the joyous celebration, one crucial aspect to consider is the choice of fabric for wedding attire. Choosing the right fabric for monsoon wedding attire can make a big difference in keeping you comfortable and stylish throughout the event, opt for lighter fabrics such as net, chiffon, georgette, crepe, and satin, which are water sustainable.
Not only will they dry faster, but they will also make you feel airy and more comfortable and hence, they are a wonderful choice.
Silk is a luxurious fabric that offers a very convenient option for monsoon weddings. Silk has a beautiful drape, which adds elegance to any outfit. Just be sure to choose lighter-weight silk, like crepes, to stay cool in the heat. A silk dress can keep you looking glamorous and chic, while still being comfortable for a monsoon wedding.
Hairstyle
Hair is quite possibly the most worrying part of our look, especially when we know that humidity will catch up to it eventually. Hair tends to get frizzy during this weather, especially if it is windy.
Keeping the humid climate in mind, a sleek bun, messy plaits, or an elegant ponytail are ideal hairstyle choices as they go well with almost all outfits and are less risky for the monsoon as they promise to keep the frizz at bay, opt for lighter hair accessories over full-floral buns.
It is best to do a braid and/or any trendy bun, because strong winds may ruin your open hair. Even if you wear a simple Lehenga but with a perfect hairstyle, it gives you the most distinctive look and makes you look classy and elegant
