9 outfits for a monsoon engagement

Rainy season may deter some from planning weddings and engagements, but if you're a girl who loves rain and wants to celebrate your happiness amidst the showers, fret not! We have a plethora of inspirational ideas to make your monsoon engagement truly remarkable. 

Embrace the opportunity to go bold with colours. In the midst of overcast clouds and rain, adding a pop of vibrant hues will draw attention and make you the highlight of the event. 

Orange which is more of a summer colour can also be worn (and rocked literally) in monsoon. Pair it with subtle jewellery for a perfect engagement outfit that exudes confidence and style.

Why not take it a step further and explore multi-color ensembles? A Papa Don't Preach lehenga fits this description perfectly, boasting an array of colours adorned with beadwork, sequins, and modern contemporary patterns. This choice will make you the epitome of a stunning monsoon bride.

Consider Amit Aggarwal lehengas for their structural designs. The way the lehenga's structure gracefully flowS adds a subtle touch that suits the atmosphere and mood of the monsoon season. This unique choice will make you stand out as a modern bride.

Who said florals are only for springs. With refreshing rains and lush greenery, floral motifs make a fresh and delightful choice for engagement outfits during the monsoon. Opt for multi-color embroidered floral designs to add dimension and vibrancy to your attire.

If you prefer a classic and practical approach, go for a saree instead of a lehenga. The ivory organza saree with intricate embroidery and beading work is a timeless choice that exudes simplicity and elegance. It allows you to move gracefully while being less cumbersome to handle in the rain.

Pearls are the trend of the season. Opt for a lehenga with pearl details to add an extra edge and charm to your engagement attire. Pearls have a way of infusing sophistication and grace into any ensemble. Shine in an all pearl lehenga that instantly uplifts your mood, even amidst the dull weather.

Skip the dupatta. Managing a long, heavy lehenga along with a dupatta can be a hassle during the rain. Instead, opt for a lehenga with extravagant sleeves. The dramatic size of the sleeves adds the necessary flair to elevate the mood of your monsoon engagement.

Gold always glitters. For a touch of glamour and sparkle, choose a gold lehenga. Gold has an innate ability to outshine even the dullest moments. Look for a lehenga with sequin and crystal details that enhance its overall effect, creating a mesmerising ensemble.
