COLORS OF MONSOON FOR YOUR WEDDING
Everything about the monsoon has the perfect backdrop for a big romantic event. The monsoon gods are capricious beings and like to see farmers and scorched lands long for the relief that rain brings. Rain is also much needed to bring relief from the sultry and tropical Indian summers, and therein lies the beauty of the monsoon season. There is a lot of hype around the monsoon season, which is attractive to lovebirds looking to get married as well. Newly married couples would revel in such romantic weather that will bring out their best self, and allow themselves to soak it all in. From the overcast skies to the petrichor of the soil, all the elements for monsoon culminate into a gorgeous show for couples looking to get married. Just like the day you have always longed for, monsoon complements such a longing.
In order to make your wedding vibrant and stand out in the grey skies of the monsoon weather, use bright colors. Wedding planners, like Theme Weavers Designs, recommend the use of a rainbow color scheme that lies in stark contrast to the paleness of the sky during the rainy season. Adding tiny touches to your wedding garb to make it more comprehensive and bold so that it doesn’t start to blend in with the surroundings, add seasoned wedding planners like TWD. In order to add that much-needed freshness, adding pops of pastels or neons in the wedding decor will make it seem like a literal source of sunshine in otherwise drab weather conditions. There are also endless options to customize your wedding decor when there is a range of colors at your disposal. The combinations are endless, making for a beautiful and vivacious occasion. Seasonal elements can be incorporated into the venue. For instance, wedding planners always decorate aisles leading up to the mandap with quirky umbrellas. These umbrellas serve a dual purpose of being decor pieces or a functional item in case it starts to pour! These umbrellas can be in stunning pops of color, seeming like tiny colorful islands in the face of grey skies. If the theme wedding is in a royal location, regal tents in various colors can also be set up. Tying into the theme wedding, the venue chosen also has to be perfect. A beachside or a poolside wedding ties in beautifully to the overarching monsoon theme wedding. The wedding decor will also be relatively easy to curate as it has a common element of being near water, making such a themed wedding straight out of a magazine spread!
In the rainy season, everything either smells incredible like the wet earth or it can smell downright terrible like damp mold. In order to smell gorgeous and stay dry in damp weather, it is crucial to select the right material for your wedding dress. It will be extremely uncomfortable to get married in a heavy lehenga set that is not breathable. While monsoon weddings are luxurious, opulent but light material needs to be chosen, such as the likes of linen or pure silk, in soft colors like white, eggshell, or silver. In theme weddings like this, the wow factor can be incorporated through the extensive use of embroidery and extensive jaari work. The embroidery work can be in stark contrast to the fabric of the dress, such a robin blue or baby pink. It is very easy to find a lightweight dress with loads of embroidery or shimmer work, making it one of the best choices for a theme wedding set in the monsoon.
Lastly, keep the venue and the weather forecast in mind when choosing footwear. It is very tempting to get married in sky-high Louboutins, but in the face of the wet earth and the mossy surfaces, high heels of any kind are not advisable. Instead, add your own twist to it by coupling luxurious sneakers or flats with your wedding dress to combine the traditional with the contemporary. Footwear in the monsoon season can be in a muted color such as grey or black - something that is easy to clean and maintain versus a traditional white, which can easily get muddy in the rain. When it comes to jewelry, it is best to opt for something light. However artificial jewelry that has a tendency to get corroded or can wither away cannot be worn. Complementary and light jewelry in silver tones or rose gold hues are the best option for a stormy wedding.
Monsoon weddings are a great way to celebrate the union of two souls, and such a themed wedding is a great occasion for people to let out their inner child, and submerge themselves in the colors of the monsoons.
