Bridal skincare tips for the monsoon

The thought of having a monsoon wedding sounds romantic and exciting. Those cold breezes, unannounced downpours, and droplets of water make it the best time of the year for romance, love, happiness and joy.
While a monsoon wedding gives a major romantic feel it is also extremely adventurous for there are some crucial things that you need to plan to avoid discomfort and unexpected troubles that can prevent you from enjoying your wedding.
1) Water Proof Makeup : This is crucial. The constant threat of rain showers and humidity can easily ruin your carefully applied makeup.
I will suggest all brides to choose waterproof make- up 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 if your makeup can withstand the humidity of the day. Also, if you have frizzy hair, check with your hairstylist on how you can tame them in the humidity.
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.
2) 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.
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.
3) 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 will also make you feel airy and more comfortable. They will not get ruined by rainwater and hence, are a wonderful choice.
One of the biggest mistakes that the brides make while choosing outfits for their monsoon weddings is choosing heavy fabrics like velvet, brocade, raw silk, etc as rainwater might react with it and spoil the intricate embroidery.
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 crepe, to stay cool in the heat. A silk dress can keep you looking glamorous and chic, while still being comfortable for a monsoon wedding.
4) Hairstyle
The hair is quite possibly the most worrying part of our look, especially when we know that the humidity will catch up to it eventually. Hair tends to get frizzy during this weather especially if it is windy. While open hair is lovely, it tends to get frizzy in this humid weather.
Keeping the humid climate in mind, a sleek bun, messy plaits, or an elegant ponytail are ideal hairstyle choices as go well with almost all outfits and are less risky for 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 perfect hairstyle it gives you the most distinctive look and makes you look classy and elegant
