Question: I have always dreamt of getting married in the midst of lights and fireworks. It always gives me a high when I watch people getting married in brilliantly lit mandaps. Now my wish is being fulfilled and I am gearing up to get married under the bright lights. But as everything around me will be bright and perky, I am skeptical about which colour to opt for my wedding attire. I don’t want my attire to lose fizz in the midst of such illumination. Also I won’t be happy to look gaudy either. So please suggest me some evening colors that will suit well with the surroundings.
Answer: It’s good that you will live your dream during your wedding. No surprises that you are quite wary of what color to lock for your wedding dress. For evening wedding attire, dark shades are preferred so that your effect doesn’t get subdued in the company of bright lights.
Since everything around you will be glossy, it is recommended that you go for darker shades. Check out some red or scarlet wedding attire. They are extremely catchy and will immediately strike with the guests. Red wedding dress is a common thing for Indian marriage. Just couple it up with silk thread embroidery or if you wish to be little rich, add gold touch to it. The whole attire will give you an aura, which will get elevated with the lights all around you. You can also try purple, which has become a rage now with many brides opting for it.
If you intend to be little off the regular pitch, try out green or blue wedding dresses. Don’t think that since it’s an evening occasion you need to settle with subtle colours. A wrong notion! For blue and green dresses, it is customary that you look for dresses on the higher side of the spectrum. Faded blues and greens tend to dampen the outcome and you might get merged with the background. They are rare choices but if unusual presence is what you want, try them out.
