There are only two types of people, one that loves a sunny summer wedding, and the other who loves a cosy winter shaadi, and I definitely am in favour of the latter. Unlike summers, winters are filled with flavours of festivals and serve some ideal months to tie the knot. Starting right from October till January, winter weddings allow guests the option of layering, and welcome a range of festive fabrics, that might not fit the summer dress code. From lustrous silk, and brocade to graceful velvet, these lively fabrics are best suited for special occasions. Managing both glitter, and intricate embroideries, some of these materials are also great at keeping your body warm. Hence, we have rounded up an easy fabric guide for you to pick from, and slay in!
Vivacious Velvet
This soft, and subtle techni-shade fabric is the first pick for winter wedding attires. For anyone who is invited to a wedding this month, trust a velvet lehenga to dazzle in. Some of this statement fabric’s most appealing features include its royal look, cosy, and warm feel, and its innate lustre.
Striking Leather
Although leather has hardly found a mention in wedding wardrobes, its recent introduction to the range of cocktail gowns, and concept sarees has made it an unavoidable pick for experimenters. This water-resistant, warm, and structured fabric helps designers in achieving unique silhouettes and delivering a one-of-a-kind design.
Traditional Silk
Silk has been dear to this category of traditional, Indian ethnic wear. A symbol of royalty, silk shares a years-long history with India’s maharaja-era fashion. For a traditional, wedding guest look, you can pick up a lehenga, saree, or even a pantsuit in silk, and its fabric types. This natural fibre is not only a favourite amongst Indian couturiers, but is also both lightweight, and warm.
Jacquard
This unique, motif-driven fabric has found a spot in every designer warehouse. The versatile jacquard features an intricate motif design, embedded in the fabric, during the process of weaving. What makes this fabric an ideal pick for weddings, is its wrinkle-resistant feature, and unique pattern design, that won’t fade away with time. You can sport this fabric in the forms of semi-ethnic sets, jacket designs, festive pants, and more.

Pashmina
This Kashmiri fabric is often known to take the shape of shawls. With time, pashmina, and its weave style have gone beyond the usuals to help you dress for weddings. Designers like Sabyasachi are giving pashmina, a new-age twist with zardozi, and silk borders, decorating lehengas, and royal sarees. It is time to wear a pashmina, beyond a basic shawl.
These fabrics will not only keep you warm, but will make sure you look stylish than most rishtedars.
